Dawn Mattera Corsi is a purpose-driven coach, speaker, and best-selling author who helps people, especially women over 40, reconnect with their worth, clarify their purpose, and design a life filled with passion, peace, and meaning. A former engineer with both a practical mind and a deeply grounded faith, Dawn blends proven strategies, heartfelt empathy, and just the right dash of tough love to help others move from feeling stuck to feeling fully alive.

Her message is shaped by real life experience. Within a few short years, Dawn faced divorce, two layoffs, multiple moves, and the most intense emotional and financial challenges of her life. Instead of slipping into old patterns of depression, she turned her hardship into a testimony, using faith, resilience, and her strong Italian-American roots to rebuild and create a more fulfilling life. Today, she uses that journey to guide others who feel invisible, uncertain, or tempted to believe it’s “too late” to start again.

Known for inspiring audiences with warmth, humor, and hope, Dawn has spoken for organizations like the American Cancer Society, Hallmark, the March of Dimes, and Weight Watchers, and has appeared as a regular guest on CBS and Fox News. She’s also a Jack Canfield certified trainer, drawing on success principles and authentic living to help people decide their direction and take meaningful action.

Off the stage, Dawn brings “la dolce vita” to life through travel and cultural adventures with her husband Bob, from gladiator lessons in Rome to vintage Vespa rides through Tuscany, all while continuing her joyful lifelong “research” to find the best gelato in Italy. Above all, Dawn’s work reminds people of two powerful truths: you are one of a kind, and your story is not over yet.
