“You Can Postpone Anything But Love.”™ World Ambassador for Family
Randy’s mission is to increase people’s awareness of how small choices they make every day have huge effects on their health and happiness.
Her passion to help create healthy happy families began when her travels with her family in over 29 countries before she reached age 20 convinced her that all peoples share common goals for their families and that a better world could be created by helping all families to thrive.
After a successful career as a lawyer, Randy founded the Institute for Creative Solutions to pursue her passion. She wrote her first book You Can Postpone Anything But Love in 1985, followed by many more books on topics touching on family life and health. She soon became a sought after media guest. Eager to combine all fields affecting families, she has a master’s degree in theology, a certificate in clinical nutrition, and over 25 years as a family counselor, coach, educator, and home-based wellness entrepreneur.

Randy’s story as a business entrepreneur was also featured in the GoSolo interview series.
A History of Firsts
Randy stays at the cutting edge of everything she undertakes. The press has variously described her as “A True Renaissance Woman,” “This Generation’s Dr. Spock,” “Popular Television Therapist,” and “Queen of Life Balance.” She was one of just 12 women in her first year law school class at the University of Virginia School of Law in 1971 and was in the top 10% of her class. When she transferred to Villanova University School of Law, she was one of just 25 women in her graduating class, again in the top 10%, and was the only woman then serving on the Villanova Law Review Administrative Board.
She was the first woman ever employed by the law firm where she started practice, one of Philadelphia’s top 10 law firms. She pioneered the legal basis for the now well-known concept of pollution credits trading. She was among the very first authors, long before desktop publishing, to self-publish a book. She marketed it independently and had three top publishers bidding for it when she chose Warner. She was one of the first 3 women to ever serve on the faculty of Villanova University School of Law. She was among the first in her generation to move “back to the land” and try independent living as a “homesteader.”
An early leader in the homeschool movement, she was instrumental in developing the legislation legalizing homeschooling across Pennsylvania. She was also a leader in the defense of indigenous people’s rights in upstate New York. Randy was one of the first women over the age of 40 to compete in Pennsylvania state beauty pageants, and she won the title of Mrs. Pennsylvania-America 1993, Second Runner-Up, inspiring many more mature women to share their beauty and accomplishments in competition. She has also been a pioneer in the wellness movement, and since 1971 has given hundreds of lectures and courses on natural living. Randy is also one of very few women among top professional and motivational speakers.
Though she has broken through many barriers, this has not been her focus. Instead, she has forged ahead believing that each of us can achieve all we desire, and that persistence, faith, and sharing our vision with others can get us where we want to go.
