Women and teachers are going to change the world. 
We will also burn ourselves to the ground trying to do so. 
Maybe we don't have to suffer in order to rise from the flames like the phoenix...

My goal, in speaking, is always to create space for connections, for emotion, and for transformation. Whether fostering meaningful conversation in an intimate conference setting, facilitating a workshop, or giving a keynote to a larger group, I strive to grant permission for people to honor where they are and dream about where they'd like to be. 

In a casual, humorous, heart-felt way, I'll share my epic failures, eye-opening epiphanies, and tips audience members can implement in their own lives and classrooms.
