She taught public relations for 17 years at the university level, but put her octogenarian mother into shock by resigning from her tenured professor position to follow her bliss of art. Todd is now a memoir artist and sculptor. She hosts a video podcast called Shine Delusion Shine! The Radical Art of Dreaming Beyond Boundaries, and scripted and performed a one-woman stage show called Shine Happy Shine! She resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This is her third book.
