SWAYY Magazine said it best. “Fitzpatrick’s story is so intense, fascinating, and astonishing that you’ll wonder if you’re reading a movie script. But, the story of this entrepreneur is real and incredibly true.”

We asked Tami to share FIVE FUN FACTS in order to get to KNOW her better.
1. This small town Iowa girl lived for 15 years in Beirut. Later contracted by the State Department to work at the US Embassy.
2. In 2006 when war broke out between Israel and Lebanon, and after helping evacuate groups of the 10,000 US citizens, Tami, her (then) husband and three children took the last military helicopter out with one suitcase each and returned to Tampa permanently!

Motto: “The rewards for working through obstacles define who we are and make the success of our persistence even sweeter.”-Tami Fitzpatrick
Tami’s daughter created the word “hyperlusinating” when she was 7 years old. After playing with her dolls under her blanket she giggled, threw back the cover and burst out with “Mom, I’m hyperlucinating!” and so it began. Tami has incorporated a “hyperhappy” approach to life ever since. Her message to you? Hyperilluminate your day and don’t let anyone douse your flame!
“Women are already strong. We just need to remind ourselves of this more often. Especially when failures, challenges and obstacles bring us down. Learn to shift your mindset and tell yourself it was a meaningful lesson on your path to calm wisdom, then focus FORWARD. Once you survive setbacks and trauma of any kind, don’t look back at it with fear. It’s done. Set your sights on what You DESIRE, not what you’ve had. Lastly, when you struggle, don’t hide or seclude yourself as we often do for a number of reasons. Tell someone. Tell your tribe. If they don’t help and support you, than they’re not the right tribe for you. Start today to Hyperlove yourself.”
