About the Author

Brooke Martellaro lives nestled in the pines of Colorado with her golden retriever, Meko. She loves golfing, traveling, wining and dining with friends and discovering new adventures. After spending twenty-plus years honing her skills in the highly-structured corporate environment, Brooke set out on her own to use those skills in helping women and entrepreneurs succeed. Brooke founded and is actively involved in several dynamic organizations, including Viva Club Mexico, inspiring women to reclaim their joie de vivre through engaging workshops and adventure travel. In the Riviera Maya, guests attend morning classes overlooking the Caribbean, and then embark upon activities ranging from ecotours to dance lessons to volunteer work. They later enjoy R&R in the form of beach time and afternoon siestas, gathering afterwards on the balcony for cocktails and a debrief session. The day ends with a magical evening at one of the quaint local restaurants in Playa del Carmen. When not in Mexico, Brooke is helping entrepreneurs navigate the growth stage of their business though her company Springboard Ventures.
