Terri Fedonczak

Terri Fedonczak is the author of Field Guide to Plugged-in Parenting, Even if You Were Raised by Wolves. She has 22 years of parenting experience and is a Certified Martha Beck life coach, specializing in parent and teen coaching.

Terri wants to live in a world where girls recognize their own power and choose to use it for good. On a trip to Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa, she witnessed the power of lionesses, as they supported each other within the pride; it was a lightning bolt of realization, leading her on a mission to bring the power of the pride to girls and their parents.

After 16 years as a commercial real estate agent, a bout with breast cancer transformed Terri's life in 2010, making her realize that time with her four girls and patient husband was a much better deal than money and status. It was time to put her mission into action. She left sales and embarked on a journey of spreading the message of girl power for good.

Terri Fedonczak takes the girl power message into schools, talking to teen girls about how to thrive in the wilds of high school. When she's not writing books, speaking, coaching or blogging, you can find her paddle boarding on the sparkling waters of Boggy Bayou, knitting to the consternation of her children, who are buried in scarves and hats, or dancing in her kitchen to Motown.
