  Barbara Niven Motivational SpeakerLet me know if you need a speaker for your group!  Click here for more info.  I've been telling my story to campuses and corporations across the country about "Eating Disorders & Pressures to be Perfect"

I also speak on "ACT as if!"   It's my new system that uses acting techniques to help you live the Law of Attraction.  It gives you the kickstart you need to start manifesting your dreams right now!

I just wrapped shooting on an indie horror film tentatively called "Summer".  It's a part unlike any I have ever played - really gritty, a demented and tormented mother.  (We actors love this stuff!)  :-) We are getting some great buzz!  Ashley Greene is also in it - she's starring in "Twilight" opening in theaters soon!

I just finished two more films!  I shot a disaster movie called "Heat Wave."  I play the governor of California who is fighting to save Los Angeles. 
 

I also went to Chester, Vermont and shot a Christmas movie for Hallmark Channel called "Moonlight & Mistletoe". Tom Arnold is my love interest & fave Santa. It airs this Christmas season!
   













Watch for me in two new infomercials too!  One is airing now for Jenny Craig (I have been eating it for four months now and have really leaned out - love the new me!)

The other is for Jack Canfield's "Dream Big: The Secret to Living the Law of Attraction"Jack Canfield is my Hero - you've seen him in the movie "The Secret" and he wrote all the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books.  Talk about inspiring!  Have you started your Vision Book yet?
 

 

 

 

 

This is a shot from the set of "Dead At 17" which I'm starring in for Lifetime.  Can you tell it was cold on location - we shot in minus 8 degrees in a record snowfall!

It premiered to amazing ratings!  Thank you for watching and for making it Lifetime's fourth highest rated movie in the past year!  And thank you to Lifetime for writing such strong female characters! 
(I watch Lifetime all the time myself...)


Short Track movie on DVD
Short Track is currently out on DVD. It's movie about a family of race car drivers. It centers around Blake Beckett, a five-time
stockcar racing short track champion and the challenges he and his family face to live their passion... racing!  I play Audrey Beckett the mom!

Check out more about the movie by visiting www.shorttrack.com.

Cheers from the set of "A Valentine Carol"  which is in reruns on Lifetime.  I play a Diva ghost who comes back to earth on a mission to find love and earn my key to heaven - one of my
favorite roles ever!
