From Stage Light to Inner Light
In my twenties, I graced the runways of Yves Saint Laurent and Jean Paul Gaultier.
Four decades later, I’ve traded haute couture for higher consciousness.
Born in Israel to a multi-cultural, multi-faith, and often turbulent family, I grew up with a severe stutter, undiagnosed learning challenges, and anorexic tendencies. Despite low self-esteem, life ushered me into an unexpected chapter—a ten-year modeling career in Paris that placed me on the covers of high-fashion magazines but left me yearning for something deeper.
That yearning led me back to school, where I earned a PhD in transformative learning from the California Institute of Integral Studies. I homeschooled my children, founded an alternative elementary school based on my original WE™ education model, and discovered my calling: to help evolve human and planetary consciousness, by helping people awaken to their spiritual nature and reclaim their creative agency.
Over the past two decades, I developed the Expansive Living Method™—a practical, soul-rooted framework that empowers people to shift from victimhood to conscious co-creation.
This method is now at the heart of the Expansive Living Facilitator Certification™, a training program equipping heart-centered leaders, coaches, and change-makers with spiritual tools for trying times—tools that support both personal healing and planetary transformation.
Together with my spouse, Leon Segal, PhD, I co-founded the Expansive Living Project™ and The Next Good Thing™, initiatives dedicated to helping individuals and teams increase their positive impact in the world.
I also host the Spiritual Maven Circle, an online sanctuary for women living spiritually meaningful lives.
My award-winning book Living a Spiritual Life in a Material World has reached more than 100 audiences, including my TEDx talk, “You Can Eat Your Cake and Have Enlightenment Too.”
Through all my programs, writings, and teachings, I remain committed to one purpose: to help evolve human and planetary consciousness, by helping people rise above fear, disconnection, and overwhelm—and step into a life of joy, magic, and conscious impact.
I am also a licensed psychedelic facilitator, a certified Emotion Code Practitioner, and a Compassion Key facilitator—level 1.
