About My Speaking
Like my books, my keynotes are honest, and heartening. I speak to those navigating real-life challenges—chronic illness, grief, transition, or simply the weight of the unknown—and offer messages that uplift, empower, and encourage.
Through storytelling, spiritual insight, and practical tools, I help audiences reconnect with their worth, stir up fresh courage, and trust that the next chapter of their story still holds beauty and purpose.
Discovering Your Absolute Value
Thriving Through Life’s Ups and Downs Without Losing Who You Are
In a world that often measures worth by productivity, performance, and external success, what happens when those things are taken away?
This keynote explores the concept of absolute value—drawn from both mathematics and personal experience. After being diagnosed with aggressive-onset MS, I had to face a hard truth: I could no longer rely on doing more to feel like I mattered. That’s when I discovered a life-changing truth: your value is not dependent on your circumstances. It is constant.
Using a relatable blend of storytelling, spiritual insight, and a simple visual model (yes, even math!), I guide audiences through:
-
The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic value
-
How to identify and affirm the unchanging strengths already within you
-
The power of crafting a personal Value Constellation as a tool for resilience, identity, and direction
This talk is filled with warmth, faith, and practical reflection. It encourages them to stop chasing value through doing—and to start recognizing the steady light that’s already within them.
Ideal for: women’s conferences, church groups, wellness retreats, personal development workshops, and leadership trainings.
Trusting the Next Chapter
How to Move Forward with Faith When the Future Feels Uncertain
In seasons of waiting, transition, or the unknown, it’s easy to feel lost. This message offers faith-filled encouragement for women who are facing life's unanswered questions. I share the journey of learning to trust the Author of my story, even when I couldn't see the next step. This talk blends vulnerability, wisdom, and practical steps to help your audience move forward with courage, peace, and hope.
Ideal for: faith-based events, caregiver support groups, grief & transition conferences, and community gatherings.
Thriving in the Unexpected
Finding Hope, Identity, and Purpose in Life with Chronic Illness
This keynote is designed for chronic illness communities and healthcare events. I share what it’s really like to live with multiple sclerosis and how I’ve learned to redefine success, purpose, and joy in light of physical limitations. Audiences walk away with renewed resilience, faith-filled strategies, and permission to dream—even when life looks nothing like they planned.
Ideal for: MS and chronic illness communities, caregiver groups, health & wellness events, mental health organizations, and resilience summits
