Rona Maynard
Rona Maynard overcame chronic depression to win her dream job. As Editor at Chatelaine during the biggest relaunch in its history, Rona led the team that won a new generation of readers for a brand dating back to the Jazz Age. Her truth-telling editorials were carried in wallets and taped to fridge doors. Her award-winning team met every benchmark of success. When Rona stepped down from the job she had loved, she discovered there’s a lot more to life than work. She wrote an acclaimed memoir, My Mother’s Daughter, launched a unique memoir workshop for first-time writers and expanded her mind on an art road trip across the U.S. (49 museums in five weeks). Her second memoir is inspired by the rescue dog she and her husband at 65.
