Hi! I’m Resilience Expert® Cheryl Hunter.

I’m a bestselling author, speaker, and media personality who shares my message worldwide on outlets including People Magazine, Goalcast, Dr. Phil, NBC News, Dr. Oz, CNN, Fox, PBS and more.

But it certainly didn’t start out that way.

I began my journey as a small-town cowgirl with big-city dreams. As a teenager, I “escaped” from my family’s horse ranch in the mountains of rural Colorado for the bright lights of Europe, with nothing more than an over-packed suitcase and a dream.
Once I arrived, I was approached by two men who promised to make me a model. Instead, they abducted me, held me captive, and eventually left me for dead. I survived this life-changing trauma, refocused my life, and became a model anyway.

By the time I was 23, I had lived in seven countries, been featured in every major magazine franchise, and was the worldwide Coca-Cola girl.

As a response to captivity, I learned how to rise. In the process, I created an educational framework to help others overcome adversity, and for many years, my team and I taught that education to people all over the planet. My coaching and proprietary training method have helped over a quarter million people learn to be successful, self-confident, and happy, no matter what.

Today, as a Resilience Expert®, I also help people with triumphant stories get their message out to the world through major media, so they, too, can be known for the good work they are doing and positively impact the world in their own unique way by getting the media recognition for the good work they are doing.
