Teresa Collins is an experienced, high-impact motivational and empowerment speaker, author, and teacher. Teresa does not hold back as she shares powerful truths and lessons learned throughout her unique and profound experiences in life. She always speaks from her own first-hand, real-life experiences, and she uplifts and inspires others who hear her messages. She shares strategies, outlooks, and attitudes to improve and enrich the lives of those who listen to her message. Teresa has endured more than most people will ever have to experience, but through it all, she maintains an attitude of fierce determination, a resolute will to succeed, and a desire to find all the good that life has to offer. Through sharing her own significant life experiences and how she has not just survived but thrived, she inspires others to never give up and to seek the POWER of positivity, purpose, and potential. You would never know it looking at her now, but Teresa comes from an extremely difficult childhood that involved sexual, verbal, physical, and emotional abuse by her own father and very little support or protection from her mother. She grew up in poverty in Hickory, NC, and often had no food or heat and lived in very difficult circumstances. Her own parents made it clear that she (the product of an affair) was not wanted and was not of value. Despite circumstances that would cause many people to crumble and surrender, Teresa always knew she had intrinsic worth, and has always felt a determination to rise above and find joy and success in life. Later in life, Teresa survived a massive stroke at the age of 29 while pregnant with her fifth child. She was told she would die that night, but she was determined to not only survive, but thrive. She still suffers the effects of that stroke to this day with vision loss and numbness, but she treats those as physical limitations as reminders of how fortunate she is to be alive instead of being bitter or making excuses. Life would test Teresa once again when, after 19 years of marriage, and five children, she was widowed after her husband lost his battle with cancer. Teresa has always chosen to rely on her unfailing positivity to rise above and always keep going no matter what life brings her way. She chooses to be happy, and then and shares how others can find meaning, desire, purpose, and joy in life. Teresa firmly believes that you are a magnet for anything that you want to attract in your life, and that the “hard” actually is there to STRENGTHEN you, not defeat you. Teresa has been sharing her message all around the world for nearly twenty years now to groups of all sizes and demographics. Her desire is to encourage the audience to seek for more, and to find their own unique and limitless potential. Teresa has been able to impact thousands of women and men and encourage them to SET NO LIMITS on themselves. She wants you to face your fears NOW and shift your perspective to have an awakening

After graduating from a small town southern high school in 2002, I followed a group of friends aimlessly through my first years of college. After four years of seeking out an Electrical/Computer Engineering degree I realized... that was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I did some soul-searching for a year and reconnected with my love of art and creativity. I shifted my sights in 2006 towards becoming a graphic designer. After college, I found myself with a contract position as a project manager for a bidding website. After one year of successfully building the site from the ground up, I finished the project and was released to pursue other opportunities. I found myself working for a short period as a designer for a Nationwide Balloon Distributor, before being called back by my first employer to return as their Marketing Director. Over the next two years, I employed social media marketing strategies that grew the companies brand awareness across multiple channels. In an industry where digital marketing was incredibly challenging, I grew the companies revenue and digital sales exponentially, while helping to manage several different branches of the company. After two successful years, I left that company to become the Graphic Designer for one of the largest non-profits in the Pensacola area where I now work as the Communications Manager, managing a team of creative and marketing professionals to promote the organizations brand and drive it's goal to reach the community. In addition to that, I am a freelance designer working in the Pensacola, FL area. I work with businesses and brands, helping them develop innovative strategies to reach their goals and create engaging creative content that grows their businesses.
