ABOUT PENNY HAUCK
Penny is a strategic marketing professional, mom of 3, athlete, and practicing artist. She majored in art history and studio art with a concentration in museum education. Growing up as a bi-lingual student, Penny used art to express what she was experiencing in her life. In the late 90’s, she began running, and developed a passion for healthy living, great food, and nutrition. Penny loves cooking, spending time with her children, and feeding her family delicious meals. With her love of nature, Penny engages in a variety of endurance sports (swimming, biking and running), and enjoys competing in triathlons. Her interest in sports, art, movement, and food are aligned for the same reason—they force her to be present in each moment, attentive to the needs of her body, prioritize her wellbeing, and be conscious of her expression. Penny's goal is to be a positive influence in the world, and to share happiness and joy with those around her.
ABOUT SHARON STEWART
Sharon has a keen interest in health and nutrition, and in 2008, after reading Kathy Freston’s Quantum Wellness, she became a vegan, and is now thriving with the better nutrition practices she learned through Skinny60®. With a passion for live music and events, Sharon graduated from UCLA with an undergraduate degree in music and a master’s degree in historical musicology, and has devoted her career to working with the most prominent performing arts organizations in Los Angeles. Although energized by “show time,” Sharon’s favorite part of the day is a morning coffee with the birds in her garden. She loves animals, gardens, rainy days, and living near the ocean with her rock guitarist hubby and their goofball dog, George Bailey. Sharon is a proud Auntie to a niece and seven nephews, and dreams of traveling to see the Northern Lights.
ABOUT STEPHANIE MILLAR
Stephanie has pursued various vocations with passion, joy and boundless enthusiasm. She is an actor, TV presenter, voice over artist, has a home science diploma (majoring in food), and currently works as a primary school teacher. Obsessed with the task of improving the social, health and academic outcomes of young children, Stephanie applies her accumulated experience to teaching numeracy, literacy, and drama. She believes ‘food literacy’ in particular, is an essential component in the primary school learning and well-being ‘puzzle’. Stephanie lives in Melbourne with her partner of 28 years, their two grown up children, and beloved dog Tui. She attends yoga, and enjoys movies, theater, and concerts whenever she can. As Stephanie gets older, she aspires to find beauty and grace in all aspects of life—food, music, gardens, health, love, and in her connections with family and friends.
