What I bring to your stage

A talk most money experts can’t give.

Most financial talks hand people more information. Mine gives them permission to look at why money feels the way it does. Audiences leave understood, not lectured.

Signature talks.
Overcoming Financial Trauma

The signature keynote. What financial trauma is, where it comes from, and the path to healing.

The Six Sources

An interactive workshop mapping where money wounds begin and how they show up at work and home.

Trauma-Responsive Money Talk

Train-the-trainer for advisors and teams: how to talk about money without reopening the wound.

What audiences leave with

Not just moved — equipped.

Every talk balances the emotional and the practical. People feel seen, and they leave with language and next steps they can actually use.

01
A name for what they’ve felt

Financial trauma is real. Naming it removes the shame that keeps people stuck.

02
A framework, not a lecture

The 3E’s and TRUST give people a repeatable process instead of one-time motivation.

03
A first step they’ll take

Each session ends with a concrete action, so momentum outlasts the room.

What your audience leaves with

They walk out lighter, and ready to act.

Your audience will
Name the money experiences quietly shaping their behavior.
Recognize shame and avoidance for what they are.
Talk about money with less fear and more honesty.
Leave with one concrete next step toward change.
