THE AUTHOR 

Gwenn Voelckers is a woman who’s “been there.” After her divorce, Gwenn spent several years struggling to regain lost confidence and her zest for life. Thanks to some good advice from her mother (“You’ve got to start living again and stop waiting for Prince Charming!”), she set out to create a wonderful life on her own. By all accounts, Gwenn has accomplished what she set out to do and now shares her success strategies and practical tips with others.

In 2005, Gwenn founded and began facilitating Live Alone and Thrive empowerment workshops for women, which she continues to lead to this day. She is also a sought-after speaker, newspaper columnist, and author of Alone and Content: Inspiring, empowering essays to help divorced and widowed women feel whole and complete on the own, which was published in 2018.  

Not a licensed professional, Gwenn’s expertise is born out of real-life experience. She openly shares her story and inspirational example so that others might also feel whole and complete on their own. By serving as a positive role model, Gwenn is determined to revive the energy, hope, potential, and power she believes resides in everyone.

A former healthcare and communications executive at the University of Rochester's Center for Community Health, Gwenn is active in semi-retirement, embracing life as a single, independent woman. In her spare time, she loves spending time with her friends and family, gardening, leading fitness classes, and playing percussion for a local community band.

​Gwenn lives with her dog, Scout, in an 1830s English Cottage in Mendon, New York, where she runs her workshops and operates a Bed & Breakfast.
