Self-Care, Self-Love & Empowerment
- You Cannot Pour From An Empty Cup
- You cannot pour from an empty cup. Self-care is not selfish but necessary.
- You cannot be your best self for the people you care about if you yourself are not mentally and physically well.
If you want to be the best version of yourself, you need to take the time to invest in your own well-being. It’s hard to choose yourself when hustle culture is always telling you to work harder but that will only lead to burn out.
Break the cycle and don’t feel guilty about it, when you choose to focus on yourself you’ll see your life transform for the better.
Breaking The Silence On Endometriosis And Hidden Pain
Endometriosis affects 1/10 or 190 million women worldwide, conservatively. Each one of those women is a mother, wife, daughter or sister so the suffering it causes has a ripple effect beyond the individuals with the illness.
It’s important to dispel myths about endometriosis; it is NOT a period disease or a women’s issue, it affects us all. Currently, there is no cure and very few effective treatments.
Raising awareness of this health crisis is the first step but it’s equally important to give a voice to endo warriors and anyone battling an invisible illness; the invisible doesn’t need to be silent.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
