Born on October 31st 1973, {Dawn Mary Athena Donnelly} ~ Athena Moberg’s parents originally named her Aurora Borealis… {she jokingly refers to her mom & dad as her “hilarious irish-catholic-hippie-parents”
Originally from a small town in the mid-west, her family of 12 aunts & uncles and 13 cousins scattered around and moved a lot but most of them kept in relatively close touch. Athena attended several elementary schools in Orange County, California and its surrounding areas. Her parents separated when she was 5, so her mom did what any mom would do, she took Athena to Florida and joined the circus {true story}.
After her career in the circus as a camel & llama trainer, Athena’s mom settled down with an old flame who lived in a small rural California town. Norco in the 70′s had no streetlights, no sidewalks and more horses residing there than people. Athena and other girls would ride their horses bareback in cut off jean shorts and bathing suits tops to the local 7-11 market, collecting cans & bottles along the way where they would recycle them to buy candy & soda with their earnings. {Eco-minded and riding horses till the streetlights came on…oh wait, Norco had no streetlights then. Sure has changed a lot in the past few decades}.
An entrepreneur at age 13; Athena Moberg spent a few {too many} afternoons in detention hall for selling candy to her classmates. In retrospect, she recalls her margins & ROI being rock solid so detention hall seemed like a more than reasonable sacrifice at the time.

Athena you rock mama!!! Keep rockin and mentoring and doing and living the freaking life of motherhood and entrepreneuress!!! xoxo
Megaaaannnnnn! Thanks mama! I appreciate your support and encouragement over the past several months. This journey is epic and I am blessed. Grateful for the Hustle! xoxoxoxoxo
I wanted to add that Athena is reaching men, too. Working with Bobbi Parish on the No More Shame Project… well, I know Athena knows how I feel, and I am honored that she has openly acknowledged what I have said. To be precise: Athena and Bobbi have been teaching me things in just a small number of hours that I couldn’t get in 30 years of counseling. How I wish I’d been able to get a hold of such information sooner, but I’m so grateful to get it now. Athena’s gracious affirmations are soothing when sharing my story has been pretty terrifying to me.
Jack, I am so grateful for this incredible community of brave souls,(you, being one of them). If it were not for you and others speaking up and sharing, Bobbi and I may never be affirmed and confirmed in our life’s work. So, thank you. Sincerely! I am here to serve our survivor community. It is a great joy for me. I want to share a quote with you that I found online by one of my friends who has been a mentor to me without even knowing it:
“It all comes down to a few very important factors – hard work, taking massive consistent action even in tough times, dedication and patience, because …it is not something you do over night, but rather it takes time.” -Navid Moazzaz
I hope this message finds you well, and I consider it an honor to find, use and project my voice for other survivors out there who may not have the courage to yet.
