April's Talks
Hidden Pieces
As women, we are often expected to be, do, or act a certain way in this life. We should look a certain way, speak a certain way, and only portray those parts of ourselves that will look “good” to others. Often, we have so much more to share with the world but because of these expectations, we hide those things away so we won’t be too loud, too much, or take up too much space.
This inspiring presentation will encourage and empower the audience to dig deep into the parts of themselves they keep hidden and find the experiences from their lives that they can use to help break these societal expectations and inspire others to live and show up fully for themselves in all aspects of their lives!
Overcoming Perfection Paralysis to Design the Life You Desire
Each of us is our own worst critic.
Within us lives a voice (the ego) and its only job is to keep us “safe” from judgment, failure, and injury.
But in doing so, it often holds us back from pursuing the things we want. This interactive talk will break down perfection paralysis and how it causes us to put limits on ourselves that prevent us from making or seeing the progress we want in our endeavors.
This session will help participants begin unlearning perfectionism and embracing vulnerability to create the success and the life they desire.
Unbroken: Transforming Adversity into Strength
Life is hard.
Sometimes it breaks us, and sometimes it leaves us feeling like we will never be the same.
The good news? While you might not be the same, you will likely be a stronger, wiser, more resilient version of your former self.
This presentation will take the audience on a journey of struggle, resilience, and transformation, showing that all the things we go through, prepare us for what is yet to come.
