MY Keynote

Many people experience trauma as a child, causing devastating effects throughout life - impeding healthy relationships, professional success, and the attainment of dreams. As a victim of psychological and emotional abuse, faced with intimidation and the threat of violence, my ability to build a purposeful life was severely compromised. Destructive and sometimes life-threatening decisions resulted in two failed marriages, one to an abusive man, by the age of thirty-eight. Much self-reflection and extensive therapy enabled me to identify the powers I possessed for recovery, and clear the many hurdles in my path to healing. Ultimately finding the confidence to aspire and ability to attain lifelong dreams, I was happily married at forty, and despite six years of infertility, completed the creation of my family at the age of forty-six. Writing my memoir enabled me to forgive, leave the past in the past, and become emotionally whole and psychologically sound.

My keynote is entitled: 

        Triumph Over Trauma - Inspiring Belief that Dreams Can Come True 

After hearing me speak, audiences will learn that:

• Fear can cripple but fury can liberate 
• How to choose fury
• Rebelling against the status quo can change the world, including our own
• Unconditional love, even if only self-expressed, is the critical ingredient for healing
• We can time-travel, change our past, create a better present, and a more fulfilling future
• When we identify our inner superhero and tap into our resilience, we can make our dreams come true

My keynote is perfect for students and adults, in any profession and from all walks of life, who may have experienced trauma and still suffer the effects - yearning for healing, health and happiness, at long last.
