She empowers her clients to get the tools to achieve success beyond success… How to smash through career and personal plateaus. How to embrace and own advancing age and fading popularity. How to transform mental exhaustion into energy and excitement. And how to solve the emptiness of ‘having everything’. The reality, however, for many of these elite achievers, can be very different from the public’s perception. Their true flesh-and-blood humanity is often washed-out by the bright lights of their fame. They are amazing success stories to be sure, but they are also human … And that’s where Dr. Hawthorne comes in.
