Biography

 Vikki Espinosa is a writer, educator, and career strategist, and the author of One in Eight. She has spent decades helping people navigate major life and career transitions with clarity, compassion, and actionable tools. Her work blends lived experience, deep resilience, and steady guidance for anyone facing challenges or supporting someone through them. 

Her story includes recovering from a life-changing knee injury, learning to parafence with the U.S. Wheelchair Fencing Team, navigating disability, and moving through breast cancer with determination and clarity. These chapters shaped the grounded, practical approach she brings to her writing, teaching, and coaching. 

Vikki lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Gus, their two daughters who live nearby, and their anxious-but-beloved rescue dog, Georgie. When she's not coaching, teaching, or writing, you'll find her lifting weights, walking Georgie, or at early-morning Pilates.
