Speaking
Every meaningful change begins with a conversation.
Bringing conversations about identity, becoming, story, identity,
and belonging to life.
workshops, retreats, keynotes, and meaningful conversations
Whether facilitating a workshop, leading a retreat, speaking to conference participants, appearing on a podcast, or participating in a panel discussion, my work invites people to explore the stories shaping their lives and the possibilities waiting beyond them.
Drawing from four decades of teaching, coaching, writing, spiritual companioning, and facilitation, I create experiences that are thoughtful, engaging, practical, and deeply human. Audiences often leave with new language for understanding their experiences, greater compassion for themselves and others, and a renewed sense of possibility.
Interested in bringing a program to your organization or event? Let’s start a conversation.
My work explores a simple question:
How do we live from the deepest and most authentic part of ourselves while navigating the complexities of modern life?
Conversations That Matter
-
How caregiving, cultural expectations, and invisible narratives shape women's identities, choices, relationships, and leadership journeys.
-
Navigating life transitions, identity shifts, reinvention, and the journey toward a more authentic life.
-
Finding meaning, resilience, and renewed purpose after child estrangement and other experiences of profound loss.
-
Using writing, reflection, and storytelling as pathways to healing, self-understanding, and transformation.
-
Writing not simply to record what happened, but to understand who we became because of what happened.
-
Creating intentional space for reflection, discernment, healing, creativity, and life transition.
-
Exploring how personal and cultural narratives influence who we become—and how we can reclaim authorship of our lives.
-
Reconnecting with ourselves, one another, and the living world through practices of attention, reciprocity, and belonging.
