Summary
Holly Bertone is a former FBI Chief of Staff for Counterintelligence turned Certified Holistic Health Coach. She helps women in midlife break free from emotional eating, ditch diet culture, and prioritize their health, so their high-achievement lifestyle no longer clashes with unwanted weight gain.
Holly spent 20 years in Project Management consulting and federal government service. After her own experience of breast cancer, healing herself from an autoimmune disease, and creating a no-conflict divorce, she learned there’s more to life than burning the candle at both ends and living according to everyone else’s agenda.
Holly is also a Keynote Speaker and Host of Your Midlife Comeback Story Podcast. She’s spoken on stages at MIT and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), along with TV features including the Dr. Nandi Show and CBS.
