About
Event planners choose me because I bring a lived, honest, and hope-filled perspective to conversations about mental health, trauma, faith, treatment, and recovery. As the author of Unshaken, host of Unshaken Voices, a mental health advocate, and a stroke survivor, I speak from personal experience while keeping the message grounded, encouraging, and stigma-free. My talks help audiences understand that healing often requires faith, treatment, community, and the courage to keep going. I connect with people through storytelling, vulnerability, and practical encouragement that leaves them feeling seen, less alone, and reminded that pain can become purpose.
