    Vanessa Richardson

    Hey you all! Other than being an entrepreneur executive, I embrace my roles as mother, psychotherapist, and most recently, breast cancer survivor—a journey that has given me a renewed appreciation for every moment. I was born in a barn in the Philippines (yes, really!) and grew up traveling across Asia as a Navy dependent. While California holds my heart as the place I truly grew into myself, Virginia Beach has been a wonderful home for raising my daughter. I’m an adventurer at heart however, so you’ll often find me traveling anywhere and everywhere!

    Beyond my professional and scientific pursuits, I have an enduring passion for the arts in all their forms, with a special love for fine arts and music—it’s truly my love language. Fun fact: I can read music, play multiple instruments, have been a vocalist for two girl bands, and even dabbled in acting!

    One of the most common questions I’m asked in interviews is: “If you could tell your childhood Self one thing, what would it be?” My answer to this question holds the essence of why I am here, sharing this space with you. The truth is, much of my life was shaped by the shadow of childhood trauma, which carried over into difficult chapters in my adulthood. Yet, everything I’ve overcome has brought me to a place of authenticity, alignment, and purpose.

    It’s this journey—of healing, tenacity, growth and grit—that drives me to connect with others. I’m here to share my story—not just as proof that survival is possible, but to inspire the belief that transformation is within reach for us all. We are never defined by our past, but by how we choose to rise from it.
