Janine Durso is The Believist.
™
a belief strategist and keynote speaker teaching people how to believe new things so they can change their lives
Through her programs, online community, and social platforms, Janine reaches thousands of people every week with her bold, science-infused approach to belief, identity, and self trust.
Her work is deeply shaped by her own transformation. First came a cardiologist’s warning that her high stress life was pushing her toward a stroke. Then came a full life reinvention.
And mere months ago, the rupture of a brain aneurysm tested every belief she had rebuilt. Her recovery and her resilience turned her into living proof that belief work is not magic, it's a method.
Janine is passionate about helping people stop living on autopilot, question the stories that hold them back, and build the beliefs that move them forward.
When she is not helping people believe new things, she loves hanging with her tween daughter, searching for new dinner recipes on Instagram, or hunting down the perfect mocha latte.
