Teresa Velardi is an author, publisher, Conversations That Make a Difference podcast host, writing and performance coach, and potter.

Michelangelo, the famous 15th-century artist and sculptor, said, :Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it."; His job was to remove the excess stone to reveal the beauty within.

Similarly, Teresa uses the art of pottery making to illustrate that each ball of clay, with the touch of the potter's hand, can and will be transformed into a beautiful work of art.

Teresa found her passion and purpose through life's challenges while trusting God's plan. Faith in God, gratitude, and giving are her heart. Her writing, editor, publisher, and coach abilities are vital ingredients she brings to those who share their message with the world on her podcast or through her publishing platform.

Her daily quiet time and writing practice keep Teresa focused on her God-given purpose as life unfolds in this ever-changing world. We all have a story to tell and a heartfelt message to share.
