Meet Velardi: Teresa began her transformational journey in 1999 when she decided to leave an abusive marriage and an unfulfilling position in corporate America.
She had what she calls a “Come to Jesus Moment” while looking in the mirror one day and asking a twofold question, “Who are you and why are you here?”
That started her on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. In 2002, Teresa and her son moved to Pennsylvania, where she began focusing on her gifts.
A gifted ceramic artist, she creates beautiful works of art as one way of connecting back to herself and God.
Her daily writing practice keeps her focused and moving forward as she helps others get their stories out to the world through her publishing platform.
