Why I Speak

Life shapes us in ways we don’t always understand.
 

Pain, loss, childhood patterns, pressure, and the quiet storms we carry, they all impact who we become.
 

My talks and workshops are designed to bring people together around the things we rarely say out loud, but all feel on some level. They’re honest, grounding and centred on real resilience, not the motivational clichés we’ve all heard before.
 

Through lived experience, research and emotional education, I create spaces where people feel seen, understood, supported and leave with tools they can actually use in their everyday life.

Signature Talks

Resilience in the Real World

How to rebuild yourself when life knocks you sideways
 

A powerful talk exploring what genuine resilience looks like when you’re dealing with grief, illness, burnout or major life change. This isn’t the glossy version, this is the human version.
 

You’ll learn:

  • How resilience is built, not born.

  • Why so many people feel stuck in survival mode.

  • Emotional tools to steady yourself during hard seasons.

  • How to rebuild identity, confidence and purpose.

  • Hope-filled, practical steps for moving forward.

Healing the Child Within

Understanding how childhood shapes adulthood and how to rewrite the script
 

A mix of lived experience, research and emotional education. This session helps people understand the patterns they carry, why they respond the way they do, and how to begin healing old wounds.
 

You’ll learn:

  • How childhood beliefs become adult behaviours.

  • Why emotional literacy matters now more than ever.

  • How to reconnect with your inner child safely.

  • Small steps that create meaningful change.

  • Ways to support young people with compassion and understanding.

The Climb: Chsing Greatness

Courage, identity and rewriting your future  one step at a time
 

A talk for anyone who feels lost, stuck or unsure where they’re heading. Perfect for people who sense they’re meant for more but don’t know where to begin.
 

You’ll learn:

  • Why so many adults live on autopilot.

  • The power of small brave decisions.

  • How to build momentum when everything feels heavy.

  • How to reconnect with purpose, identity and hope.

Who I Speak To

I speak from lived experience. A rare brain illness, chronic illness recovery, deep grief, therapy, and rebuilding my entire life from the ground up.

My work blends emotional honesty, resilience research and gentle education to help people understand themselves and the world a little better. 
I’m not here to preach from a stage. I’m here to connect, share, and create space for real change.



Schools + Colleges + Charities:
Helping young people build resilience, self-belief, and tools to face life’s challenges.

​​

Events + Conferences + Workplaces:
Inspiring talks that mix honesty, humour, and hard truths.
​
 

Whether it’s a classroom, a boardroom, a stage, or even a coffee shop pop-up, my talks are tailored to connect with the audience in front of me.

Why It Matters

We’re living in a time where resilience is declining, emotional overwhelm is rising, and young people and adults alike are struggling with identity, stress and coping skills.
 

Research shows that:

  • Emotional literacy is at its lowest point in decades.

  • Unresolved childhood patterns influence 70–80% of adult behaviours.

  • People in survival mode cannot think clearly, plan effectively or regulate their emotions.
     

We need spaces where people can understand themselves better, through simple education, practical tools and supportive conversation.
 

These talks and workshops bring together lived experience and research to help people build resilience in a world that’s becoming increasingly demanding.

If you’re looking for a speaker who blends honesty, lived experience, and words of wisdom - let’s talk.
