I Don’t Just Speak. I tell the Truth.
Hello!Most speakers will leave your audience inspired for about 48 hours.
I want to leave them changed.
Not because I have a perfectly rehearsed story or a framework with a catchy acronym. But because I've actually lived through the things I'm talking about, the slow, quiet loss of who you are that can happen when you spend years being exactly who everyone wants and needs you to be.
I was a litigator. A CEO. I ran the largest pro bono law firm in the state of Minnesota. From the outside, my life looked like the definition of success. On the inside, I had completely lost who I actually was and what I actually wanted.
When I speak to audiences, I have and bring all of it: my credentials, my hard-won clarity, and the honesty about what it actually cost when you’re being and doing it all for everyone else except for you. Women don't need another polished expert on a stage. They need someone who will tell the truth. I will tell your audience’s truth, before they even have a chance to.
That's what going to make your room go quiet.
What Your Audience Will Gain
When I speak to your group, audience members don't just leave feeling seen they leave with:
Awareness
Each person in the room will have a clear understanding of what has quietly been happening to them (often for years), and why.
Clarity
They will experience a growing concrete sense of how to find or admit what they actually want, separate from what's been expected of them.
Clear, Actionable Steps
Each particulate will walk away with one honest, doable action they can take into their lives now and incorporate today. Not someday
I don't believe in inspiration without direction. Every talk I give ends with something real your audience can do with what they just felt.

Topics I Speak About
I work with event coordinators to shape talks to your audience's specific needs. All of my speaking lives inside these three areas:
Reclaiming Identity
For women who have spent much of their careers or life being who everyone else expects them and needs them to be that they've genuinely lost track of who they are. This talk creates the kind of silence in a room that means something landed.
Rebuilding Self-Trust
For women who are high-achieving on paper but privately are second-guessing or hesitating on almost every decision they make. We talk about where that doubt comes from, and how to find your way back to your own judgment and trust it.
Reconnecting with Purpose
For women at a crossroads either internally or externally, such as a career change, an unexpected loss, or a life transition who know they want something different but can't yet name what it is. This talk helps them get closer to figuring it out.
Who I Speak To
I've spoken to audiences of lawyers, executives, entrepreneurs, students, and women at every stage of life and career since 2007. If your audience is made up of women who are ready for an honest conversation about who they are and who they want to be — I'm your speaker.
Engagements I'm open to:
Keynotes and featured talks
Conferences and summits (virtual and in-person)
Corporate and organizational events
Women's retreats and leadership gatherings
University and professional association events
Webinars and panel conversations
Let’s Talk About Your Event
I'd love to hear about your event and audience and what you're hoping they’ll gain. Every engagement starts with a conversation. The best talks are built around the specific women in the room, not a generic script.
