From Burnout to Balance

Meet Teri Frykenberg
Teri Frykenberg (formerly Dreher) is a nationally known pioneer in the emerging field of professional patient advocacy, as well as an Amazon Best Selling author, patient safety expert, newspaper columnist for the Daily Herald in the Chicago area, and sought-after public speaker.
A lifetime career leader, mentor, teacher, and encourager, Nurse Advocate Entrepreneur is simply the latest chapter in her life’s calling to see that one day everyone in America will have access to a quality private advocate within their reach.
She is the author of the Amazon best-selling book Nurse Advocate Entrepreneur, which is available now on Amazon.
Teri now lives in Monson, Massachusetts—her beloved hometown where she grew up—and continues to dedicate her work to equipping nurses and healthcare professionals to advocate boldly and build sustainable businesses.
She believes that within the heart of every good nurse, physician, and social worker is patient advocacy—and as more healthcare in the future takes place outside the hospital’s walls, no one is better equipped to serve in that capacity than private professional patient advocates.
I am passionate about teaching and mentoring new RN patient advocates all around the country the past few years. I show my students how to save money, time and get right to the crux of how to run a private professional advocacy consulting firm from the start. Others don’t have to make all the same costly mistakes that I did. Starting my own company has been the best career decision of my life and I am so excited to be offering this course to others now.
