I’m not your typical speaker. I don’t just deliver a talk - I bring life. I bring chaotic charm, unapologetic authenticity and high-vibe, magnetic energy that leaves your audience inspired, feeling alive and ready to step into their own power.
From the stage to a candid conversation, I show up fully - messy, human and real. I’ve lived through loss, grief, fear and the chaos of life while still choosing to rise, to lead and to live authentically:
Losing my Dad at 26 to cancer
Experiencing the heartbreak of a stillborn son
Surviving the Mallacoota bushfires
Navigating motherhood, mental health challenges, and a severe health anxiety diagnosis
Living with chronic stress and learning what it actually takes to care for yourself
I know what it’s like to live as the polite, palatable, people-pleasing version of yourself and I know the cost: shrinking, dimming and silencing the parts of you that actually make you magnetic.
Whether it’s a keynote, a guest panel, a Q&A at your workplace, a lunch & learn or an appearance on your podcast - I bring the wholeness. The chaos. The glitter.
And I do it in a way that lands, resonates and lingers long after the applause ends. I speak to SO many things including some of my faves:
Why self trust beats perfectionism every time
How the roles we play and the rules we follow subconsciously keep us small
The power of embracing your full spectrum - light, dark, messy, brilliant
Your audience will leave feeling:
Seen
Heard
Energised to show up as their fullest, most authentic selves
Let’s create a moment that isn’t just heard - it’s felt.

A note: please don't book me if you want someone polished and "professional" by its traditional definition. That is not me. And that's my magic.
