Rena Romano is an author, keynote speaker and certified speaking and mindset coach.

Acknowledging and celebrating her survival, she shares the strategies she discovered to help others reconnect with their inner strengths, to thrive, and to be the change they want in their life. Rena is a member of the National Speakers Association, a veteran of the TEDx stage, and was a featured guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
