About Chloe

Today bestselling author. Known for her warm yet direct style, Dr. Chloe connects easily with diverse audiences while tackling complex, high-stakes topics.

The book was endorsed by Deepak Chopra and praised by Jim McCann, founder of 1-800-FLOWERS. Her newest book, Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly (Skyhorse), explores the mental-health costs of self-censorship and provides practical tools for navigating difficult conversations with confidence and emotional intelligence.

Her keynotes and workshops—delivered both virtually and in person—have earned rave reviews and repeat invitations from organizations including Baker McKenzie, WikiHow, NerdWallet, Young Presidents’ Organization, Columbia University, and the 92nd Street Y. Drawing on her background as a yoga teacher turned psychologist, Dr. Chloe brings a grounded, engaging presence to conversations about performance, resilience, leadership, and communication around sensitive topics.
