Coffee & Conversation Book Talk - "After the Fall"
2022-09-20 09:00 - 10:00 | TX
Join Gabriela for a special author reading session for her 1st edition book, “After the Fall” When communism fell in Central Europe in 1989, Gabriela was devastated. Everything her entire life was built upon proved to be a lie. Who was she to trust? Where was she to go? She didn’t even know what was real anymore. The shock of her world turned upside down as a young, impressionable teenager catapulted her on a journey of exploration. On the outside, she lived a life of spontaneity and adventure which led her to America, and a whirlwind storybook romance. On the inside her true journey to freedom was only beginning!
About the Speaker:
Gabriela Gerhart is the founder of the Motherhood Center. She established this heaven for mothers in 2000, turning a lifelong dream into reality. Gabriela discovered her passion for babies and childcare at an early age while growing up in a small village in the Czech Republic. She received her degree in Pediatric Nursing and worked in the Pediatric ER before accepting a position in the United States as an au pair. After arriving here she quickly realized that women lacked the village and family aspect of pregnancy and motherhood support. Gabriela is recognized as an expert in the field of pregnancy and early-stage child development and has delivered keynote addresses for local and national conferences and women’s organizations. She holds committee and board positions on several non-profit organizations around the Houston area, focused on helping women and babies. In her free time she enjoys golfing, reading, quality time spent with family and friends, and traveling with her husband.

After earning degrees at Brown University and UC Berkeley, Brandi led a storied career as a learning and development leader and executive at a national consulting firm. She quickly earned a reputation for style along with program design and training, and found herself coaching her colleagues on looking their best. During that time, a dramatic weight gain from an endometriosis medication left her frustrated with ill-fitting clothes and wreaked havoc on her confidence. Determined to find a better way, she was selected to join an intensive, invite-only training with Stacy London from TLC’s What Not to Wear, where she developed her signature methodology for personal styling, focusing on the science of style, body shape and fit.
An educator at heart, Brandi has styled well over 1000 clients, and is known for her transformational approach to style as a form of self-actualization. She helps women of all shapes and sizes, especially women navigating changing bodies, find the joy that happens when they confidently step into who they are with an effortless wardrobe to match.
