My Best Self Yet

About Us

Author and certified coach Teresa Schmitz started her own coaching practice focused on empowering women. Teresa coaches women to rediscover their happiness by showing up authentically and loving themselves unconditionally, no matter their size. Compelled to change how we view ourselves and our bodies, Teresa started her practice with the goal of creating a world where all women accept themselves as they are. After overcoming her own body image issues, Teresa would say, “I discovered My Best Self Yet!” Thus, her company My Best Self Yet, LLC, was launched.

During the pandemic, Teresa and several other certified coaches co-founded and formed a group coaching program called “In It Together.” This program specialized in using your character strengths in times of uncertainty. Along with her coaching work, Teresa has worked for Fortune 250 corporations in senior management, focusing on communications, change management, project management, quality, and training.

Teresa enjoys speaking, writing and blogging on the topic of overcoming body image issues and empowering others to discover their best selves yet! She recently published her memoir It Was Never About the Cake. She enjoys traveling with her husband Dale, walking her Goldendoodle, journaling, reading, and spending time with her two beautiful adult children Kaitlyn and Ian.
