Petra Kolber is a speaker, author, mindset coach, podcast host, DJ, and a wellness leader who is known throughout the industry as a beacon of authentic happiness. As a national workshop leader and keynote speaker, she inspires people around the globe to stand up for their lives and live profoundly from their hearts.

Her work is rooted in the science of positive psychology, and she coaches individuals and teams on how to get unstuck so that they can become unstoppable.
Petra had been the face and voice of leading food and fitness companies such as Reebok, Adidas, Gatorade, and California walnuts. She traveled the world speaking to tens of thousands of fitness enthusiasts and wellness leaders. Yet, she wasn’t happy as she was overwhelmed by anxiety and panic attacks over many years. Petra took time away to get help and engaged in the study of positive psychology, enabling her to conquer her own internal barriers and to create a program that now helps hundreds of people to live bravely and reclaim their joy. In August 2018, Petra released her first book: The Perfection Detox, Tame Your Inner Critic, Live Bravely and Unleash Your Joy. Her mission is to inspire people to move more and fear less so that they can stretch their dreams, strengthen their courage muscle and build an inspired life full of joy and gratitude.
