SPEAKER PROFILE

Kimberly Zahasky is a 30 something, multi-passionate entrepreneur, consultant, and speaker from the Madison, W area who co-owns Blue River Chiropractic, the Natural Family Expo and founded The Professional Optimist brand.

Her passion is helping others become their best versions of themselves and using their skills to better serve the world.

With a husband, 3 kids, 3 businesses and a deep hunger for the next level, she is on the daily hunt to gain a healthier balance of peace and pursuit. Being the information junkie that she is, Kimberly has gathered vast amounts of information on the subject of work-life balance, all of it tested on herself.
