MY APPROACH
It's horrible to feel vulnerable, anxious and hopeless!
I’ve been there myself when the FBI showed up at my door.
I had to learn quickly how to trust my intuition, set strong boundaries, and develop practical skills to protect myself and my young son.
Now, I use that lived experience to empower others. Through my keynotes and workshops, I teach how to:
1. Trust your intuition to make confident, informed decisions
2. Set and maintain boundaries that protect your well-being
3. Develop practical skills and strategies for safer, more peaceful living
I combine storytelling with actionable lessons, creating experiences that are engaging, motivational, and transformational.
My goal is to help your team, group, or students navigate uncertainty, build resilience, and live with greater confidence and peace.
Let’s chat about how I can help YOUR group feel inspired, learn practical skills, and prioritize mental health while living safer with more peace. I want to hear about your needs so we can create a tailored experience.
