Type 2 fun. Always family. Matil. Dancing. The whale joke.

Best Story

It is so hard to pick a best story! There are so many great funny and meaningful stories I tell and my main keynotes and workshops are told through the story of the skydiving world record I set with my team... 100 women going upside down at 200 miles per hour. Yeah, it's insane. But in the best way and such a powerful vehicle to look at fear and accessing our untapped potential. Lots more baked into it of course, but that's a bit of a peek.

Origin Story

One of the stories I tell in my keynotes is about the first time I said the F-word haha... it's always funny. And lands. Reach out if you want to know why. ;)
