Speaking and Events
Let’s Talk
I speak on connection, community, and what it means to build a life that's authentic instead of impressive. Whether it's a podcast conversation, a conference keynote, or a workshop for your team, I bring real talk about the messy middle, the power of showing up, and why we go further together.
Topics I love:
Strategic networking in the age of AI (human connection still wins)
Moving from performance-based approval to identity-rooted confidence
Building community that actually works (not just feels good)
Leadership, entrepreneurship, and doing hard things without losing yourself
Faith in the workplace
Civic engagement
