Signature Keynote

The Emerald Within: Turning Pain Into Power, Fear Into Flight

There are moments in life that split us open. Moments that take our breath, our certainty, our sense of who we thought we were. This keynote is this journey — in the quiet, honest space where survival meets possibility.


The Emerald Within is a transformative message for anyone who has ever carried grief, fear, shame, or the weight of being “the strong one.” It’s for women who have rebuilt themselves in the dark. For leaders who hold everyone else together. For survivors who are still learning how to speak their truth without apology.

  • This keynote is not about perfection.
  •  It’s about rising anyway.


What Audiences Will Experience

  •  A Story of Resilience
  • Deb shares her lived journey through loss, trauma, and rebuilding — not as a spectacle, but as an invitation. Her storytelling blends vulnerability, humor, and cinematic detail, helping audiences feel seen rather than spoken at.


 Truth‑Telling That Breaks Shame

  • This keynote dismantles the myths of “strength,” “moving on,” and “getting over it.” Instead, it honors the messy, nonlinear, deeply human process of healing.


 Practical Tools for Rising  

  • Participants walk away with grounded, accessible practices for:
  • reclaiming their voice
  • navigating fear with compassion
  • setting boundaries without guilt
  • finding meaning in the aftermath of hardship
  • leading with authenticity rather than performance


A Call to Rise

  • The emerald is a symbol of truth, clarity, and inner power.
  • This keynote helps audiences uncover the part of themselves that life could not break — the part that is ready to rise, ready to speak, ready to rise.


Who This Keynote Is For

  • Women’s groups and leadership circles
  • Nonprofits and advocacy organizations
  • Mental health and wellness events
  • Conferences focused on resilience, empowerment, or storytelling

  • Retreats and restorative gatherings
  • Workplace trainings with a focus on compassion‑centered leadership

Pave Your Yellow Brick Road

 Design Your Next Brave Chapter


Every woman reaches a moment where the path she’s been walking no longer fits who she’s becoming. In this workshop, participants step off the “expected” road and begin mapping the one that truly belongs to them. Through guided reflection, storytelling, and clarity‑building exercises, women identify the beliefs, fears, and old narratives that have shaped their journey — and rewrite the map.

This experience helps women:

  • uncover what’s been holding them back
  • reconnect with their inner compass
  • define their next brave step
  • create a personalized roadmap for healing, growth, and purpose

By the end, each woman walks away with a clear, soul‑aligned direction — her own Yellow Brick Road, built from truth, courage, and possibility.

Speak Like a Warrior

 

Overcoming the Fear of Sharing Your Story

Speaking your truth is one of the most powerful parts of healing — but it’s also one of the scariest. This workshop helps women move through the fear of being seen, judged, or misunderstood, and step into the confidence of sharing their story with strength and authenticity.

Through supportive coaching, voice‑building exercises, and real‑time practice, women learn how to:

  • release the fear that keeps their story silent
  • speak from truth instead of performance
  • share their experiences without shame
  • use their voice as a tool for connection, healing, and leadership

This workshop blends emotional healing with practical speaking skills, giving women the courage to rise, the confidence to speak, and the clarity to lead with their voice.
