LIVE INTERVIEWING FOR AUTHOR’S BOOK LAUNCH
Pastor (and former guest of THE AFTER LIFE podcast) Beth Scibienski invited me to live interview her at a book release event for her debuting of, “Who Is God When We Hurt”.
You can hear Beth and I talking about her book HERE.
PLENARY SPEAKER + AUTHOR
I was honored to present my 60-minute talk, My Grit, Grace + Gratitude at the Brookdale Foundation Group’s annual conference in October 2018.
I spoke of how we can rediscover our Grit, Grace, and Gratitude to serve others more fully and bring more presence and awareness into our lives.
The event coincided with the release of the accompanying journaling workbook of the same name.
COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS LIVE EVENT
THE AFTER LIFE podcast came to life as former guest, Kathe Crawford and I hosted Courageous Conversations. This was an afternoon to hear more of Kathe’s story and discover ways we could all be inspired to step into the truth(full) brilliance of who we are.
You can hear Kathe’s interview HERE.
LIVENG PROOF PODCAST
The host of the Liveng Proof podcast, Engrid Latina, and I sit down to discuss all the things related to living a life where we fully show up as ourselves - and in shiny pants.
A true conversation that will give you a peek into some of the things that go on in my heart and brain that are direct results of living the life I've lived and am living.
You can listen to the show by clicking HERE.
WOMEN MAKING WAVES
I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of the WOMEN MAKING WAVES REAL TALK interviews. This is a wonderful community created "for women who aspire to show up as their true selves and who define success on their own terms."
I can't urge you strongly enough to check out what WMW is all about and to join the community.

THE NEW YORK TIMES
I had the privilege of being interviewed by The New York Times for the article, Pressed Into Caregiving Sooner Than Expected which highlights some of the unique circumstances of being a caregiver under the age of 50.
Each of the caregivers interviewed gives a top-of-the-waves glimpse into a part of their larger story.
I encourage you to have a look and would love to know your thoughts, especially if you are a younger caregiver.
THE LIVELY SHOW
Hear me speak with host, Jess Lively, about how I ended up in my intuition-led career as a Certified Caregiving Consultant and how her course, Life With Intention Online, helped get me here.
This 36-minute episode is less about the daily acts of caregiving but of the far reaching and surprising effect it can have on our life.

NOVEMBER 2017: CHICAGO
The Second Annual National Caregiving Conference was two days filled with inspirational speakers (like Teepa Snow!) and workshops. I co-presented, Think About It. And Change Everything with Grit, Grace, and Gratitude, with Deb Kelsey-Davis of Soul2Soul
I also hosted a panel discussion titled, Your After Life / Bolder Than Before: How Death Taught Me to Live.
And...I offered an intensive workshop session for family caregiving professionals titled, Boldly + Beautifully Branded, It's Your Business, where I taught attendees about creating a cohesive "look" for their caregiving business that will help them put their best foot forward.
DECEMBER 2016: CHICAGO
I flew to Chicago and was a panelist in these discussions:
Preparing for the Future
and
Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone
This conference was filled with workshops, speakers, inspiration, practical knowledge and fun (hello, caregiver fashion show!). What I found inspiring was that all of the presenters spoke to finding joy within the difficult role of family caregiving. I can't wait to attend next year. Perhaps I'll meet you there!
