Meet Ariane de Bonvoisin, our resident fresh start guru. As founder and CEO of First30Days.com, a website dedicated to guiding people through life changes big and small, Ariane knows a thing or two about starting fresh. In addition to writing regular columns for Redbook and Health magazines, she has shared her expertise on dozens of media programs, including NBC’s Today Show, the CBS Early Show, CNN Radio and ABC News Now. She recently channeled this passion for personal growth into her first book, The First30Days: Your Guide to Making any Change Easier, published by Harper Collins in 2008. Add climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, running marathons, and working on global humanitarian projects to the list, and you’ve got one pretty awe-inspiring change coach – right here at CarefreeFreshStart.com.
