Lorrie Sullenberger

When Lorrie Sullenberger's husband Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger landed US Airways Flight 1549 on New York's Hudson River on January 15, 2009, many aspects of her life changed – but what didn’t was her drive to share her passion for wellness with others. Given a unique opportunity to reach a greater audience, Lorrie has continued to share her very personal struggles with her weight in hopes to give other women the freedom and permission to let down their own guards and open up about their own experiences. Lorrie has also become a sought-after speaker about the event that has become an inspiration to millions around the world, empowering her audiences by demonstrating what skills are necessary to prepare yourself for whatever life throws your way.

"I have turned to my mentors many times throughout my lifetime and they were instrumental in helping me navigate through the days following Sully's landing in the Hudson River," says Lorrie. "I want to be able to provide that kind of support to other women, enabling them to feel more comfortable in their own skin and face their own challenges with grace under pressure. It is my hope that this website provides some valuable resources to do just that."
