Author, Podcaster, and International Speaker, Maura Sweeney has transformed her mantra of “Living Happy – Inside Out” to become a global influencer. Her genuine and first-hand approach empowers others of every background to become their finest version of self while seeing what's best in us all.

A former corporate manager and home schooling mom, she transitioned again at midlife to make her life long goal a reality. Today, she brings uplift and unity to an often disempowered and divided world.

A former HuffPost columnist who has traveled to 60 countries, Maura was first called the Ambassador of Happiness by the UNESCO Center for Peace when invited to speak at the inaugural Nelson Mandela Day celebration. Since then, she’s trademarked the title and become a popular media guest featured on hundreds of media outlets in the U.S., Europe, Africa and Australia.

Maura has lectured on Influence and Leadership at international universities, leadership conferences, women’s organizations, Model UN’s and several American Embassy outposts. In 2018, she was named Women of the Decade at the Women Economic Forum in The Hague and received the Legacy Award for Global Diplomacy at the 2019 Leap and Shine Conference in London, England. www.Maura4u.com
