Speaking & Media

As a former quiet kid in the back of class that would turn brighter red than a tomato when my name was called on, I’ve come a long way in my public speaking. One of my favorite things is getting to connect with others on their own journey in life.

If you’ve come across me and would like to set up a speaking engagement I would love to chat!

Drive On Podcast

“The beauty of psychology is, as we learn more about the brain, we learn how much it’s able to heal itself. Before we thought people who had a disorder, if you have depression, anxiety, PPD, PTSD… we used to think ‘Oh well that sucks, you’re stuck with it forever.’ But now we’re realizing, ‘no, you can change. Yes, that was traumatic. And yes, that was an event, but you can heal. Just like a broken bone can heal, your brain can as well.’ And I think giving yourself grace through the process.“
