Cyndie Spiegel

Cyndie Spiegel is a born storyteller–turned–writer. She is a beloved inspirational speaker, author and the founder of Dear Grown Ass Women®, an inclusive and highly relatable social community for women 35+. She also wrote the best-selling book, A Year of Positive Thinking: Daily Inspiration, Wisdom & Courage. Cyndie is an aspirational voice and an igniter of powerful conversation. Before imploding her life (the first time) at the age of 35, she spent 15 years in the New York fashion industry. She is a former adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design, and Fashion Institute of Technology; and holds a masters of professional studies. She is NYCAPP certified in Applied Positive Psychology and is also a trained yoga and meditation teacher. Her honest storytelling, vulnerable self-inquiry, and penchant for swear words have made her a sought-after speaker and facilitator for conferences, brands, and organizations, and she has been featured in publications such as Entrepreneur, Forbes, Glamour, Teen Vogue, and The Huffington Post. She currently lives in New Jersey with her (very handsome) photographer husband, two cats, way too many patterns, and an excessive number of houseplants.
