Trauma-Informed Keynote Speaker, Workshop Presenter and Podcast Host
You deserve to live in peace and safety!
Feel seen, heard and supported by Mandi and hear her wisdom learned after such a life-shattering story so you too can rise again!
MY APPROACH
It's horrible to feel vulnerable, anxious and no hope for the future!
I remember feeling that way when the FBI showed up at my door.
I had to learn quickly how to use my intuition and develop new skills to protect myself and young son. I don't want ANYONE else to find themselves in such a vulnerable circumstance, so I empower others through my story how to live a safer, more peaceful future.
Let's chat about how I might be able to help YOUR group feel more inspired, learning to prioritize mental health and live safer with more peace! I want to hear all about your needs.
