Barbara Burgess is an author, mother, executive, and unapologetic dark-chocolate addict who’s learned (the hard way) how to make peace with the messy, beautiful journey of life. She founded Corluma (cor = heart, luma = light), a Chicago-based consulting, training, and executive coaching firm, to help people and businesses navigate life in ways that feel honest, values-driven, and refreshingly real. Her book, Enough: Finding Peace in a World of Distractions, Hustle, and Expectations, isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about learning to listen to the voice of ENOUGH and take small steps toward more joy, more connection, and more room to breathe.
Barbara didn’t get here by following a straight path (does anyone?). She’s been on a career adventure that’s included selling candy bars for Nestlé, teaming to launch Grainger’s first e-commerce site, a brief stint in internet marketing at CME Group, and rolling up her sleeves as COO of a nonprofit—handling marketing, operations, and employee development. But the most important part of her story? She’s still figuring things out, just like the rest of us.
Known for her humor, vulnerability, and knack for making even the hardest lessons feel doable, Barbara loves sharing simple shifts that help people find their way back to themselves. She’s a mom to teenagers (send help), a fan of flaky croissants and breezy British murder mysteries, and the keeper of her neighborhood’s sidewalk chalk supply.
