When her mother and grandmother were struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, she created what she wished she and her family had and started the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation. Her training as a journalist united with her compassion, business savvy, innovative delivery methods and ability to inspire allowed her to open the foundation’s signature programs Leeza’s Place and Leeza’s Care Connection. These offer free services for family caregivers, encouraging them to call on their courage and summon their strength for the long journey ahead.


Over the years, Gibbons has become known as a trusted girlfriend, valued confidante and source of creativity, empowering women to show up for their lives with confidence and pride. Whether it’s her scrapbook line honoring the value of memories, her jewelry collection to symbolize transformation, or her cosmetic products to reveal inner and outer beauty, Gibbons is a visionary who develops programs and products to help women claim their strength and rewrite the story of their lives.


In 2013, Leeza Gibbons published Take 2, a personal growth guide designed to help people recreate themselves and hit the reset button on their lives.
