Speaking Series
Stories about reinvention, creativity, and what it
means to change direction without losing yourself.
For the past two decades I’ve built businesses, created community spaces, raised a family, and reinvented my life more than once.
My talks are honest conversations about identity, ambition, burnout, and the courage it takes to evolve when the life you built no longer fits.
Now scheduling Spring – Fall 2026
Engagement Themes
The Courage to Pivot
Reinvention, identity, and redefining success
After two decades of entrepreneurship-building, scaling, and eventually stepping away from businesses I created, I began asking a different question:
What if success isn’t always meant to last forever in the same form?
This presentation explores the reality of reinvention-the moments when ambition, exhaustion, curiosity, and intuition collide. I share personal stories of building companies, letting go of identities, and learning to embrace stillness after years of motion.
The result is an honest, humorous, and deeply relatable conversation about change and the freedom that can come with it.
Creative Sobriety
What changed in my life when alcohol quietly stopped fitting in
For years I lived at a fast, creative pace-building businesses, raising a family, and constantly moving toward the next thing. Eventually I realized alcohol had quietly become part of the noise surrounding an already full life.
Choosing sobriety created space emotionally, creatively, and professionally, that I hadn’t experienced in years.
This presentation explores what that space has made possible: clarity, creativity, and a deeper understanding of how we choose what belongs in our lives.
