I wanted to introduce this year’s speakers who have been so gracious to join us. 

Romi Lassally is the founder of the website Truuconfessions.com and author of TRUE MOM CONFESSIONS: Real Moms Get Real. She has created a new kind of online community- an environment that gives women essential things they couldn’t get elsewhere: the reassuring knowledge that none of us is doing it perfectly. Like other fellow mothers, Romi has been (and struggled with the complexities of) all of the acronyms mentioned in her site’s confessions: a SAHM (stay at home mom), a WOHM (working out of home mom), and is currently a SAHWM (a stay at home working mom).  Also like her fellow moms she often thinks the grass is greener on the other side of the mommy divide, but deep down she knows it’s not.

Prior to Truuconfessions, she was founding editor for the Lifestyles section of The Huffington Post. She has also worked as a freelance writer and contributing editor to several parenting magazines. Before her online life, Romi spent more than a decade in traditional media, working as an executive and a producer in the entertainment industry. Romi currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and her three children Phoebe, Annabel and Owen.
