HER STORY ——

Her Story.....

——

At sixteen, Raz survived paralysis. The long road back became the foundation of everything she does today.

Her journey has been shaped by health crises, personal loss, reinvention, and more than a few failures along the way. Rather than allowing those experiences to define her limits, she learned to turn hardship into resilience and setbacks into purpose.

Because your story does not end when life changes. It evolves.

Raz is the author of Frozen to Fearless: A Story She Was Never Meant to Tell, a novel inspired by true events about resilience, identity, and the courage to become impossible to silence. At the heart of her work is a powerful belief: fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It is choosing to live without allowing fear to define your limitations.

Through her 50 Fails series, Raz challenges the belief that failure is something to hide. She shares the rejections, lessons, and turning points that shaped her journey, reminding others that failure is not the end of the story. It is often where transformation begins.

As the founder of Lumina Lifeworks, she coaches leaders and individuals through a multidisciplinary approach shaped by her background in psychology, integrative nutrition, entrepreneurship, and healthcare. She holds a B.S. in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is certified through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and brings more than 15 years of experience as an independent pharmacy founder and business owner.

Through speaking, media, coaching, writing, and creative work, Raz helps others reclaim their voice, redefine failure, and move from hardship to strength, from fear to courage, and from survival to purpose.
