Speaking

I have been speaking professionally for over 13 years, and I would be honored to serve as a speaker at your next event.

I delight in everything from a small group hosted in someone's home or church to meetings and conferences.  It is important to me that my message is tailored to the needs of the group, but below are examples of topics I am especially passionate about.  

It all Starts at Home

Do you search social media, Pinterest and magazines to find the best organizational systems for your home?  Do you ever look around your house and wonder, “Where did all of this stuff come from, and what am I going to do with it?”  Are you hesitant to welcome in family and friends who drop by unannounced?   If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you are not alone.  God does not want our homes to be a burden.  In this inspiring session, you will be empowered and equipped with practical, real-life minimalist strategies that will not only change how your home looks and feels, but how long it takes to maintain and clean it, so that you can live freely and abundantly.

Before You Hit Post

The average American spends 2 hours and 24 minutes a day on social media.  As of 2020 worldwide, there were 2.5 billion active users on Facebook, 2 billion on YouTube, and 1 billion on Instagram.  It is projected that you will spend 6 years and 8 months of your life on social media. Do you ever think about your social media use and its impact on you and your loved ones?  In this personalized session, we will explore the "why" behind our social media use, the mental and emotional impact, and the message we are sending to others with our posts and comments.  You will leave this session, empowered with tangible guidelines so you can establish social media practices that enhance both your life and the lives of those around you. 

Intentional Living, It's Not What You Think   

Do you find yourself on autopilot?  Robotically going through your life, from one thing to the next, to the point you sometimes have to stop and think about what day of the week it is? Do you spend night after night in front of the television or on social media before crawling into bed only to repeat the same monotonous routine the very next evening? Or do you find yourself so busy in the day to day activities of life that you never have time to get to those things that truly add value and bring you joy? Your life is not supposed to be this way.  Join me as we discuss the foundations of intentional living and learn what just a small tweak (or two) can make in your overall happiness and quality of your life.  Regardless of your age, you will leave inspired and empowered.

Our Unintentional Journey of Raising (almost) Tech Free Kids

When my husband and I moved into our first house in 2009, we came with one old fashioned box TV.  We decided to put it in our bedroom despite the warnings. The plan was to purchase flat screen TVs for our main level living room and family room in the basement.  Our oldest daughter was 20 months at the time, and we knew the American Center of Pediatrics recommended no screen time until the age of two, so we weren't in a hurry.    She is now 13, and we still haven't purchased those TVs.  No matter the number of TVs, computers, phones or tablets in your home, I want to invite you to explore the idea of less.  What could this look like for you and your family?  Is it even possible or would there be mutiny? I will empower you with knowledge and equip you with a plan, so you can try on a new lifestyle that involves less technology and more fulfilment both as a family and individuals.  This session is life changing.
