Terri Peel Bechtold

Children’s book author Terri Peel Bechtold is the proud mother of two beautiful daughters who inspired her to create the IMPowerment philosophy—a mindset that teaches children and adults to take power over their thoughts, feelings, actions, and reactions. This signature framework, built on Attitude, Perspective, and Perseverance, is the foundation of her books I Am Power! Over Me, Not Them, The Starfish Dance, For Infinity and Beyond, Momisms: Life Lessons from a Cool Mom, and Imperfectly Perfect (to be published in 2026).

Terri’s writing is rooted in her belief that every child can develop confidence, resilience, and inner strength when they learn to activate their own Impowerment App. Through her stories, she helps families nurture emotional clarity, self-worth, and the courage to face life’s challenges with intention and heart.

Terri enjoys spending time with her husband and daughters, going on adventures together, and taking long, quiet walks along the beach—her greatest source of peace and creative inspiration. She and her family reside in sunny Florida, where she loves walking, gardening, and spending time outdoors, especially by the ocean.

Every day, Terri reminds her beautiful, amazing daughters and her equally incredible husband to always remember and never forget how deeply they are loved… every second of every minute of every hour of every day, of every week, of every month, of every year, of every decade… For Infinity and Beyond.

Her books—each inspired by the Momisms found in Momisms: Life Lessons from a Cool Mom—instill values, encourage self-expression, and inspire personal growth while fostering confidence, courage, and resilience. Terri hopes that families everywhere cherish these stories, that the messages within each book resonate deeply, and that reading them becomes a meaningful part of family traditions—especially the tradition of saying every morning and every night:

Always remember and never forget… I love you… For Infinity and Beyond.
