Nina Norstrom

As a pioneer, Nina has won many titles ─ sister, mother, wife, caregiver, teacher, author, volunteer, and wounded warrior, among others. Those mentionable items are the glue that holds her together. It took years of conquering, struggling, battling inside demons, and overcoming many obstacles before she found solace. Norstrom is an award-winning author of, “Not a Blueprint It's the Shoe Prints that Matter” and “Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall . . . Where Does My Self-Love Fall?.” It is through her literary creations she has empowered and enlightened others on wellness lifestyles. Norstrom has explored and unmasked the many faces of relationships (e.g., war with depression, war with trauma, war with grief, and others). In battling her demons, she says, “I have come to the realization that life is full of stuff (the good, the bad, and the ugliness). After defeating those “demons of war,” she came through that battlefield as a wounded warrior, a survivor, and with a renewing of the mind. Toxicity once controlled her. Now, stronger than ever . . . She is controlling toxicity! No photos, please, her famous phrase! And (perhaps) why her facial image isn't on social media. While growing and blossoming, she's free of the drama life brings. In this transition, she sees herself as that blooming, rich flower waiting to attract those butterflies. There she's come full circle! These days, she's conducting workshops on wellness lifestyles. When asked, What qualifies you to speak on the topic? She replies, My decade of experiences. Her work is recognized inside the Georgia State Transitional Center (men's prison), among other associations. Presently, Norstrom is working on another publication. And looking to start a 5013(c) foundation. As a speaker and wellness coach with years of educational experience, her work is recognized at the Georgia State Transitional Center(s), Bereavement Parents of the USA (i.e., BPUSA). Health and Wellness Fairs, among other institutions, where she conducts workshops as an educational speaker. A Life Improved Is a Life Renewed!
