Thank you for considering me as a speaker for your event!
Please allow me to provide you with a brief background, session description and the objectives of my presentations.
Speaker Background:
Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, I am a first generation Canadian. At six-years old, I was orphaned after witnessing the brutal murder of my mother at the hand of my father. I was placed in foster-care and spent the next 12-years with four different families in 10 different homes and attended 10 different schools.
Throughout my life, I have suffered deeply from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Depression and Anxiety. These conditions were magnified by the physical, sexual and emotional abuse that I endured while in foster care.
Upon reaching adulthood, I knew that I needed to make a choice to either allow my circumstance to rule me or to create the fulfilled life I desperately longed for. After investing in years of education, therapy, counseling and coaching, I have been able to create a life filled with success, happiness, abundance, gratitude and forgiveness.
Today, I am a transformational speaker, life coach and published author. My best-selling memoir, “Cracked Open – Never Broken” along with my children’s book, “Fifi’s Morning Song” are available on Amazon. Through sharing my own story of trauma and triumph I hope to inspire the lives of others and spark the possibility for greatness that lies within us all.
Session Description:
I take my audience through my journey of tragedy, abuse and overcoming. Though my story begins with devastation, the overall theme is optimistic and one of a tenacious will to live and unshakeable faith in creating a better life.
I share the obstacles and hardships that I endured throughout my life and weave in the lessons of grace, forgiveness and love that are the building blocks given to me by my mother from birth.
My story provides several teaching points and actionable take-aways such as:
- how to use our pain as our power,
- re-creating our stories to launch us toward our dreams,
- the power of forgiveness and letting go;
- and tapping into our intuition to create a life beyond our limitless potential.
Session Objective:
Although I speak on various subjects, my objective is always to increase the audience’s capacity for self-love, overcoming and forgiveness. I aim to, not just inspire people, but to be a catalyst for their personal transformations. My unique delivery is very down to earth and often humorous, being very mindful not to allow the audience to get too down before guiding them back up to lighter material. I get just as many laughs as I do tears throughout my presentations and am very conscious to captivate and share without traumatizing or depressing the audience.
My aim is to inspire by being vulnerable and sharing my own experience. By sharing my story, I look to be an example of hope, determination and triumph and to show people a real-life example of what it means to create life on your own terms, heal past wounds and to never give up no matter the cards you are dealt in this life, and lastly, to be a lighthouse in a world that is far too dark, too often.
