Meet Your Hosts

ELIZABETH BARTASIUS
Mom, Author, Radio Show Host, Mentor, Speaker

Elizabeth is in Love with Life. And she is committed to you falling insanely in love with yours.

For the past five years, she’s been mastering the art of passionate living and has been doing “whatever I want” on purpose.

As a divorced, single mom who “lost it all” in Hurricane Katrina, Bartasius knows what it’s like to dangle from the skinny branches. She is also a whiz at turning life’s upsets into opportunity, fun, play and ease.

Although, much to her dismay, her family has yet to set up a trust fund in her name, Elizabeth Lives RICH anyway. She has it all. She resides in multiple cities, spends 50% of her time on vacation, and makes money by inventing projects that inspire her. She wakes up everyday and continually creates how she wants life to go, including nurturing the extraordinary relationships she now has with her ex-husband, her family, her son, and her partner.

Her passions include, real estate investing, playing tennis (she’s in training to compete nationally), playing with her six-year-old and rendezvousing with the man of her dreams. Her first novel is due out in Summer 2008 (a dream that she once thought was buried and lost forever).

She is both unstoppable and unreasonable and she loves working with people so they can Have Their Cake and Eat It Too.
