Speaking Topics

From parenting teens to understanding mental health challenges, my talks are designed to foster growth, spark dialogue, and inspire solutions.

  • The mental health challenges facing teens today are unprecedented. I break down how parents, educators, and professionals can better understand what teens are going through while providing actionable steps to support them through life’s ups and downs.

  • Parenting during adolescence can feel like navigating a minefield — but it doesn’t have to be. I share strategies to foster healthy communication, set boundaries, and build trust through the turbulent teen years.

  • From big fights to unspoken bonds, mother-daughter relationships are layered with emotion, love, and complexity. I help moms and daughters strengthen their connection by navigating tough moments and building a foundation of mutual respect and understanding.

  • Mental health challenges don’t stop when teens cross into adulthood. This timely talk explores how parents and communities can help the young adults in their lives thrive as they transition into independence.
