I find the most joy in encouraging individuals with tools that have helped me mentally heal. I approach all speaking engagements with an open heart so that the audience feels connected and that they aren’t alone in their challenges. I speak about life challenges that many people can resonate with, such as mental health, divorce and loss of friendship.
Past events and features
You are loved event
In remembrance of World Suicide Prevention Day, the You are Loved event brought men and women together of various ages to be reminded that they are loved no matter what. With an inspiring message, time for self care, and a gift to take home, attendees left knowing they were not alone in their struggle and were encouraged to be open to speak about their mental health with others.
Breaking silent nights event
Have you ever felt like there isn't any time to slow down during the holidays? Breaking the Silent Nights focused on self-care tips, techniques, and inspiration to help avoid burnout during the busiest time of the year.
rogers behavioral health blog Feature
It was my honor to bring joy to hundreds of children and adolescents being in treatment during the holiday season by handwriting encouraging cards to them. Because of the positive effect this had on the children and adolescents, I was asked to make this an annual project.
Homefront Magazine Feature
It was an honor to be featured in HomeFront Magazine. In addition to speaking, I love writing cards to encourage people nationally and around the world.
Esther Garret Blog Feature
What does it look like being a Christian with a mental illness? There is a lot of stigma placed around mental illness, but at times even more so with Christians.
