Fawn Volkert
I am a mom, a wife, a Nonprofit Consultant, and the Founder and CEO of Papillon Libre.
So what do I love most in life? I love, love, love my children and my husband. I don't just love music, I feel it; I work in sync to it; I believe that I am made up of as much music as they say I am of water. I am a heavy consumer of coffee and besides that I do enjoy a glass of wine (or two) with my lovely husband!
My greatest aspiration is to motivate others to live fuller and richer lives. Specifically, I aspire to retrain victims of childhood trauma on how to view normalcy. I know firsthand what a distorted view of normalcy can do to negatively impact the choices we make in life. I am persevering in fast paced ways, these days, and I simply want others to experience that same success.
