Speaking
Retreats, Events & Mothers’ Groups.
I speak when I am invited, on the things I actually know — motherhood, marriage, and faith that holds up under real pressure, not just on easy days.
Honest, Not Polished.
The first time I spoke at a women’s retreat, my hands shook so badly I had to set my notes flat on the podium. I still get nervous before every talk. What I have stopped doing is waiting for the nerves to leave before I say yes.
I try to build every talk around the same principle: if a story only makes me look impressive, I hold it loosely. If a story is honest about where I failed and where grace met me anyway, I tell it. Women are rarely changed by watching someone else succeed effortlessly. They are changed by watching someone survive the same mess they are standing in.
What I Speak On Most.
- Motherhood — the exhaustion, the joy, and the faith underneath both
- Marriage — honest conflict, patient love, and staying married through hard seasons
- Rest — for women who cannot remember the last time they felt caught up
- Women’s ministry — building community that survives real conflict
- The nursing and early-motherhood journey — from a personal, not clinical, angle
- Faith through unexpected loss and hard seasons
I Say Yes to a Handful Each Season.
I receive more invitations than I can responsibly accept, so I keep a simple filter: does the topic sit inside what I actually know and have lived, and does this season of my family’s life have room for it. If both are true, reach out — I would love to hear from you.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Matthew 11:28
