Motivational Speaking
I use my journey around cancer and voice loss, and the lessons learnt, to bring hope to others.
Popular Talks
“Facing Lions and Other Life Challenges”
I weave my experience of being charged while on foot by a lioness to the ‘lions’ each one of us may face. Our responses determine our outcomes. My lions of spasmodic dysphonia, cancer a TBI and adjusting to normal felt overwhelming at times. However, I learnt to stand and face lions head on. You can too.
“Dancing the Dance of Life”
Joy and grief, gain and loss – how do we dance the dance of life with each dance partner we are given?
“Ursula my Octopus Teacher”
Having recently overcome a traumatic brain injury, that we named Ursula the Octopus, I share on the lessons learnt when I felt as though I’d lost the very essence of who I was.
“Parenting Through Trauma”
How do you parent when your own life is falling apart? Here I share what worked for us when our world imploded and give practical tools to help you cope and parent intentionally.
“Disability in the Workplace”
I share our experience of disability and voice loss, the dependence on sign language for years and society’s response to us, as well as handles for dealing with disability in the workspace.
