The Women of Inspiration™ Podcast with host Monica Kretschmer, Founder & CEO of the Universal Womens Network™, shines the spotlight on inspiring female CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, change-makers, and visionaries making an impact locally, nationally, and globally who lead, inspire and motivate. Today’s episode is one of courage, creativity, and choosing yourself. Our guest is Caroline Bergeron , internationally known as ARO - an abstract artist, author, speaker, and Founder & CEO of Aro Artiste . After a successful career in business and hospitality, Caroline made a fearless pivot in 2017 to follow her true calling: art. What followed was an extraordinary rise - international exhibitions from New York to Paris, including the Carrousel du Louvre, and the honor of creating a piece for Michelle Obama. But this story isn’t just about artistic success. It’s about a woman who faced profound loss, burnout, and a defining moment where she had to choose life - and chose to rebuild through self-love, authenticity, and creative expression.
