The Story

DeeAnne White is a former Fortune 50 Executive Vice President, coach, consultant, author, speaker, American expatriate and lover of cricket, golf, wine, Jimmy Choos and life, who is always in pursuit of a life well, and beautifully, lived.

Born in Dallas, she’s been everything from a young wife and stay at home parent, to a busy single mother beginning her career in Orange County, California, to one of the few women to reach the top tier of the investment distribution industry living at the Ritz Carlton Chicago.

After leaving corporate America, DeeAnne couldn’t wait to begin LiveTheCharmedLife because over the years she had been honoured to be someone that others came to with questions involving building a more fascinating and fulfilling lifestyle and career. She was the girl that many would call if they wanted to learn how to be more engaged in their business and personal lives while still practicing wellness, how to be successful in the boardroom or as an entrepreneur while still being nice, how to raise kind and intelligent children while still enjoying a demanding career, and how to save and invest for the future while still living a lovely lifestyle.

In all honesty, DeeAnne’s a very ordinary girl who thoroughly enjoys the brilliance she finds in others, who’s ridiculously curious, and who’s never once thought that anything was impossible. She’s faced her share of bumps along the way, but her strength has been in finding the fun regardless of circumstance, taking leaps of faith even when she was terrified, and rebuilding after the inevitable storms roll past.

Since moving abroad, DeeAnne has been writing the next chapter of her own charmed life, in which she’s learning French, relearning how to live without an expense account, marrying a brilliant Englishman, attempting to break 90 on the golf course, searching unsuccessfully for her inner Nigella Lawson, enjoying the English way of life, making room in the wardrobe for a pair of Wellies to sit alongside the Christian Louboutins, and thoroughly enjoying helping others to build successful and lovely lives of their own.

She believes that slower is much more elegant than fast, that every child should be taught art, history, problem-solving, kindness and the basics of saving and investing, and that it’s always best to have chilled Champagne on hand, because you just never know when there might be something to celebrate.
