Possible Speaking Topics:
Transforming Loss into Love and Legacy
Loss comes in many forms—a divorce, an empty nest, an aging parent descending into dementia, a threatening diagnosis, or the death of a loved one. Grief is our immediate and natural response to loss. But loss is also a sacred doorway. Those who move through the healing journey with compassion and understanding move away from “Why?” and toward “What Now?”
What are the gifts of grief? How can we transform pain into purpose? This talk opens the door to these possibilities.
Your Soul Curriculum in Human Design
Your Human Design chart is a blueprint of your soul. It's who you came here to be before the world told you who you should be. How do we peel away the layers of the disguise we've taken on and find our way back to that person we came here to be? It's really as simple as looking at what your Human Design chart tells you about who you are in your purest form.
How do we know why we strayed away from that original self? How do we unlearn the messaging we've taken on? What did we come here to learn? The "open" centers in your Human Design chart hold the clues. This is the curriculum your soul chose to bring into this incarnation.
The Purpose You Were Born to Live
Being here at this time in this day and age is no accident. Your being here is deeply purposeful. But so many of us are identified with our roles and responsibilities, our traumas and tragedies. We feel so far away from the divine nature that is our birthright.
How can we find our way back to a life of meaning? What needs to change? What are the obstacles we find on the path to our authentic life?
When we commit to a life of surrendered service we experience true inner peace and contentment. because it's the reason why we came here in the first place -- but we've forgotten.
