Speaking

I’ve been through it. And wrote the book on it.

I am an author, speaker, meditation teacher, forest therapy guide, former investment CEO, and current non-executive Chair and director — and someone who navigated her own public sh!t shows.

I have survived cancer, trauma parenting, career reinvention, and more — and come out the other side with hard-won wisdom that is genuinely, practically useful to people in the middle of hard things.

I don’t tell audiences to "stay positive" or "look for the silver lining." I meet them where they are — with honesty, dark humour, and tools that actually work when life is falling apart. That's what makes my audiences lean forward instead of checking their phones.
