Hi, my name is Deana La Rosa and I am a wife, mother, stepmom, businesswoman, philanthropist, author, and motivational speaker committed to using my life experiences to help others.
My husband Joe and I have been married for 12 years now. Joe and I came together under incredibly difficult circumstances. We both had relatively new exes that still lived in the same town. We also both had children with those exes. And beyond that, as we started our relationship, the industry that we both worked in (real estate) was in total collapse.
Even after a few years of marriage, when we were having children of our own, the challenges kept coming. Without going too far into details, my pregnancy with our youngest child, Joey, became nothing short of a life and death struggle for the both of us. Even after he was born, Joey spent the first month of his life in the NICU with feeding tubes, IV's, tin foil all over his bed (for warmth), and his eyes covered to protect them from the light.
Yet, we have made it through. We have not only successfully brought our two families together, but now have two children of our own. Of course we have made mistakes--many of them. But like most things, we have learned more from our mistakes than our success.Â
I'd love to help you navigate the high and low waters with the One Family Love community and provide you with support, love and guidance that I wish I had during my co-parenting journey.Â
You don't have to be on this journey alone.Â
