Teresa Bueno is dedicated to helping people over 50 create healthy, energized, and meaningful lives. As co-author of Leaner Meaner Senior, she offers practical and encouraging guidance for building strength, clarity, and vitality through simple daily habits and an inspired mindset.

Teresa is also the creator of Spark with Teresa, a growing body of work that helps women (and men) reconnect with what lights them up. Her signature Spark Quiz guides people to identify their natural sources of energy, creativity, and motivation. Her Spark to Action program builds on that foundation and teaches how inspiration can create real change more easily than relying on discipline or willpower.

A lifelong entrepreneur, Teresa has built businesses in real estate, coaching, and eco-development. She spent ten years in Costa Rica exploring sustainable living and the connection between lifestyle, longevity, and everyday well-being. Her work reflects her belief that vitality is something we can influence at any age through intention, curiosity, and practical choices.

Teresa also hosts It’s the Never Too Late Show, a podcast featuring honest and inspiring conversations with people who are creating powerful new chapters in their fifties, sixties, seventies, and beyond. The show blends real stories, humor, and practical insights that remind listeners that reinvention is always possible.

Based in Sarasota, Florida, Teresa fills her life with creativity, movement, and meaningful connection. She enjoys improv, yoga, daily walks, and time with family and friends. She is a proud mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and shares her home with her husband, Otho, and their spirited senior rescue terrier, Lili. Teresa lives her philosophy every day: stay curious, stay strong, and keep your Spark alive.
