Sharing My Story, Inspiring Your Strength
I share my journey to empower audiences with a message of resilience, faith, and healing. From surviving an armed robbery and abduction to creating the I Need Blue podcast and writing Why I Survived, my story demonstrates how courage and purpose can transform even the darkest moments into a path forward.
The Power of Purpose in Motion.
A journey that starts with tiny hints of hope and grows into a bold, lived-out mission. This keynote taps into the moment you stop chasing direction and start creating it—choosing to lead, not follow, and stepping into places no one has walked yet. It’s about turning your own healing into a path others can rise from.
Staying Present: Notice. Trust. Act.
This keynote combines storytelling with practical guidance. Through real-life experiences, I show the power of awareness, trusting your instincts, and responding with confidence. Packed with actionable tips, it’s designed as a keynote or conversational experience that sparks participation, reflection, and meaningful dialogue—helping audiences stay grounded, confident, and safe in any situation.
