Hello and Welcome

I’m Donna DeRosa, founder of the La Dolce Vita lifestyle. I’m an author and coach in personal development and lifestyle management. I teach women how to live the sweet life, what the Italians call la dolce vita.

When you enter the pages of this website, you’ll find many articles sharing my philosophy of life. I can teach you to create a lifestyle that suits your needs, not the needs of others. Only you can define what the sweet life means to you. Not everyone needs to follow the same path to happiness. My La Dolce Vita Lifestyle programs are built on a foundation of passionate choices, healthy eating, elegant living, and self-care.

Your goals are your own, and we can work to get you there. The important thing is who you become in the process.

As designer Diane von Furstenberg wrote, “I never knew what I wanted to do, but I knew the kind of woman I wanted to be.”

Who do you want to be?

What did you want to be when growing up? How have your dreams changed over the years? Often our dreams and desires get put on hold as we mature and the influence of others starts to sink in. The opinions of our family, friends, teachers, peers start to shape the way we think and how we perceive the world. But it’s important to remember what you wanted. What do you want out of life?

It’s time to write your own life story.

Pursue your passions, step out of the shadow of your family and friends and start shining your own light in the world. Only you have that special something, and the world needs to bask in your glow.
