About Roslyn
 Roslyn understands the power of emotional resilience in the face of challenge, adversity and creating positive change. She was born to a mother who survived the concentration camps of Nazi Germany and a father who survived the atomic bomb as a Prisoner of War in Nagasaki, Japan.
Diagnosed with cancer at age 29, Roslyn quickly learned she inherited her parents' “NEVER GIVE UP” attitude as she herself fought back to become a long-term survivor.
Then age 39, at her heaviest weight and concerned for her health, Roslyn decided to fight back once again - only this time to win her battles with weight, stress and lifestyle obstacles, once and for all!
Roslyn now shares her proven life principles and practical wisdom as a world-class Motivational Speaker and best-selling author of The A List: 9 Guiding Principles for Healthy Eating and Positive Living.
She also offers Personal Coaching for individuals, couples and groups seeking to lighten up in body, mind, heart and soul, for good. Roslyn is host of the How to Thrive after 35 Radio Show and Podcast and co-author of Death Can Wait: Stories from Cancer Survivors, a fundraising book for cancer research and cancer patient programs.
