From Supermodel to Modern Mystic
In my twenties, I graced the runways of Yves St. Laurent and Jean Paul Gautier.
Today, four decades later, I’m an educator at heart and am passionate about transformative and wholistic learning. I created the Expansive Living™ method which I use to guide and mentor individuals and groups to do their next good thing in the world and help evolve human and planetary consciousness.
I was born in Israel into a multi-cultural, multi-faith, alcoholic family. I grew up with a severe stutter, undiagnosed learning challenges, and anorexic tendencies.
Although I had very low self-esteem, a major shift would transform my circumstances, whisking me away to a 10-year career in Paris to model fashions designed by Yves Saint-Laurent and Jean Paul Gautier, and appearing in some of the most prominent fashion magazines.
Despite my material success, something was missing. So, I went back to school earning a PhD from the California Institute of Integral Studies concentrating on facilitating transformative learning with individuals and groups.
During that time, I homeschooled my children and later founded an alternative elementary school based on my original WE™ education model.
Following a life-changing experience at the Findhorn Foundation and spiritual community in Northern Scotland in my early 40s, I realized my calling to help people awaken to their innate spiritual nature, express their unique gifts and talents, and bring wholeness to their life and our world.
I am the founder of the online Spiritual Maven Circle. I am also the co-founder, with my spouse, Leon Segal, PhD, of the Expansive Living Project™ and The Next Good Thing™, where we guide leaders and teams to increase their positive impact in the world.
All my programs, books, and podcast focus on personal tools to help us thrive and flourish in these transitional times by integrating our personal, spiritual, and world work.
My first, and award-winning book, Living a Spiritual Life in a Material World, attracted more than 100 audiences including a TEDx talk, You Can Eat Your Cake an Have Enlightenment Too.
