About Pamela: Pamela Elaine is the mother of four children who,
like many mothers, put the wants and needs of others first and
ignored her own. As a result, her marriage came to a screeching
halt. Determined to bounce back strong from divorce, she created a
4-part “Resilient Beauty” practice for health and happiness, which
she now shares with other mothers. In her new book, Muddy High
Heels: 14 Lessons Learned from My Breakdown, Breakup &
Breakthrough, she writes about how to overcome barriers that hold
mothers back from their physical, emotional, spiritual and
financial beauty.
Pamela Elaine is President of her business, Destined for Greatness
Enterprises, Inc. She has appeared on several radio and news spots
to promote health and well-being for women, including The Dr. Oz
Show where she shared her story of building her business as a
healthy way to bounce back from divorce.
About Neal: Neal Wingenbach is an IT Sales Professional who resides
in Houston. Divorced in 2010, he is a father of two. During his
transition from married life into single dad life, he found comfort
in hearing from others who were going through the same experience.
To pay it forward, he hopes to be able to help others during this
difficult time of year.
