Zerina Derveni

Empowerment Life Coach

Zerina Derveni is not just a certified life coach. She is a transformation catalyst for high-achieving women who look successful on the outside but feel disconnected on the inside. Her journey began after years in the corporate world, working with Fortune 500 clients, leading high-stakes projects, and constantly pushing for the next milestone. Despite all the achievements, something was missing... a sense of true alignment.

That realization sparked a deeper journey of self-discovery, one that led Zerina to study the subconscious mind, emotional regulation, and transformational coaching. She now helps women navigate that same inner shift, moving from burnout and self-doubt to clarity, confidence, and purpose. Her method blends mindset coaching, emotional intelligence, and powerful brain-based tools for lasting change.

Zerina brings depth, vulnerability, and insight to every conversation. With her personal story, cross-cultural experiences including living in Australia and competing in Miss Universe Canada, and credentials from Harvard and Schulich, she connects with audiences from all walks of life.

She also brings real podcasting experience to the table. Zerina is a polished and engaging guest who is booked on 5 to 10 podcasts each month. She is charismatic, easy to talk to, and listeners consistently resonate with her grounded yet inspiring presence.

Podcast hosts choose Zerina because she is articulate, relatable, and deeply committed to helping listeners reflect, grow, and take inspired action, making for powerful, high-impact episodes every time.
