Dr. Dea, a recognized expert in self-leadership, trauma, and healing, has been sharing her insights through podcast and radio interviews since 2003. She passionately believes in the principle of leading oneself first, knowing that only then can one effectively lead others and ultimately lead at scale—whether in personal life or within a company.
Her contributions extend beyond her own work, as she has been acknowledged in books by other authors, and co-authored leadership, coaching, and mental health programs tailored for executives, academicians, business professionals, marginalized families and within correctional facilities. She also brings the depth of her experience from completing a dissertation to shaping impactful programs.
Early in her journey, Dr. Dea made a vow: if she could overcome life’s challenges, she would share what she learned to help others. Now that she has, her commitment to sharing is even stronger—not to focus on her own story, but to help others feel understood, seen, and inspired. Her work invites you to uncover the truth of who you are, the truth you had before the world shaped you, so you can break free from the chains that hold you back and become YOU, the essence of that which is truly real.
