Personal life
Applebaum was born and raised in San Jose, California. Her parents divorced when she was seven years old. Despite her parents' divorce, she cites both her mother and father as important influences in her life. After taking on a larger sense of responsibility growing up as the eldest sibling in her family, she worked three jobs to afford her way through college. She cites an incident in which she lost her job waiting tables as the opportunity which ultimately led to her career as a life coach.
Career and ideas
Applebaum began her career as a life coach in 2002 after gaining experience as an entrepreneur with her first company which she had sold off. As a life coach, she has helped clients with her "Break Through" method to deal with problems which range from issues of health to careers. Her background includes certifications in life-coaching, neuro-linguistic programming, and hypnotherapy. Applebaum's "Bootcamp For Your Mind" differs from other life coaching programs due to its focus on tackling issues which confront clients quicker. Her program, which includes three phases to be completed within twelve weeks, is known for being rigorous although effective. As her program adheres more to finding solutions rather than spending more time to define the problems, she states, "If you focus on the negative or the problems in your life, your life will be 'the problem'. But if you focus on solutions and what you want, your life will be 'the solution'."
