Meet Lorena Seidel
TEDx Speaker, Author, Human Development & Emotional Intelligence Expert
For two decades, I have helped schools and families replace daily friction with emotional intelligence, resilience, and connection.
Whether I am addressing an audience of corporate executives, training a room of exhausted educators, or coaching parents through household chaos, my mission is always the same: To build the Emotional Fitness required to stay unsinkable in a high-stress world.
From Classroom to Kitchen Table
My journey started in the classroom as a trained Montessori educator and human development researcher. I spent years studying exactly how human beings learn, communicate, and build resilience.
But it wasn't until I had my own three daughters that I quickly realized that having academic knowledge is one thing - applying it at 7:45 AM when breakfast is on the floor, your kids are screaming, and you have to get to work is an entirely different battle.
That chaos taught me two undeniable truths:
First, success in life isn’t built on intellect alone; it is built on emotional intelligence. Second, our primary job as adults - whether we are running a Fortune 500 company, managing a classroom of twenty students, or raising a family - comes down to two vital things:
-
Mastering our daily interactions with the people we lead and love.
-
Intentionally creating a healthy psychological climate in our homes and classrooms.
When we change the climate, we change the outcome. That is how we achieve the ultimate goal we all share: raising and educating a generation of great, resilient humans who possess the Emotional Fitness to navigate obstacles and remain completely unsinkable, no matter what life throws their way.

Working with Lorena has been hands down the best thing for our family. We tried child therapists, occupational therapy, brain classes, sensory classes, multiple discipline approaches, you name it. Lorena hit the nail on the head – and through months of coaching, we have been able to have the peaceful family dynamic we have always wanted. It isn’t always QUIET in our family – actually, the opposite! But we now know how to parent from a place that is steady and calm.

Each child was dealing with their own particular issues (anxiety, anger.) One child who repeatedly had nightmares obviously relating to internal feelings of stress and anxiety has stopped having nightmares! One child who was really struggling with anger issues has mostly stopped physically violent tendencies and is showing less anger. Your presence at each meeting is a beacon of light for us. Seeing my children become more self-aware and feel closer as a family is probably the best aspect.

This was the best investment our family has ever made towards our quality of life and happiness. I had no idea what was possible for our family. We now actually enjoying dinner and bedtime. They went from the most difficult, chaotic, and long drawn-out parts of the day to something special and relaxing. Lorena’s work is the real deal - we have gone through a true mental, emotional, and physical transformation as a family and can never go back. Even with 3 active young boys we now have HARMONY in the house.
Lorena is an expert at delivering information in a way that is easy for parents to understand and practical for them to implement in their homes. Lorena is a great coach, or a school looking to bring in parenting education support, I highly recommend working with Lorena!
