Well hi there! Thanks for your interest in my work. If you haven’t seen me speak before, I am…
- A witty, conversational speaker who keeps my audience engaged and well-informed. There might be a few snort-laughs from the audience a time or two. Not that I’m counting.
- A speaker who started out “officially” when my first book was published in 2015, but — fun fact — I have been a high school and college English teacher for a kajillion years, which gives me serious speaking street-cred.
- In love with speaking to y’all. It makes my heart sing.

My topics range from recovery, to wellness, to creativity. Here’s a peek at some of my faves:
Sober and NOT Serious: You Will Laugh Again
Sober Mom-hood: Beating the Perfection Myth
Drop the Rock: We’re All In Recovery From Something
Good Wit and Good Writing: How to Write The Hard Things
What’s My Mission: Creativity is Key to Success
