Biography
At 58, Mollie made the life-changing decision to leave an eight-year marriage marked by abuse. Two years after leaving her abuser, she faced another major challenge—losing her job. In the face of these life events and trauma, Mollie knows firsthand what it means to experience resiliency, rebuilding her life and redefining her purpose. In other words, living her full, authentic self.
One of the most overlooked problems in the workplace is a lack of engagement and high turnover, which can often be a hidden result of domestic abuse and trauma that employees are silently coping with every day. Recognizing this critical issue, Mollie launched her professional speaking business to shed light on how domestic abuse impacts individuals and organizations and to help break the stigma surrounding these conversations.
Today, she combines more than 30 years of experience as a human resources professional with her lived experience as a survivor to educate, advocate, and empower others. Through her work, Mollie brings the topic of domestic abuse out of the shadows, breaking down stereotypes and stigma while fostering safe, informed, and compassionate workplace cultures.
Passion
It is estimated that 1 in 3 women in America will be a victim of domestic abuse at some time in their life. That's criminal - literally and figuratively.
Mollie's vision is a future without domestic violence, coercive control, or intimate partner abuse.
Having the opportunity to speak to crowds with the possibility of just one victim in the audience having an 'ah ha' moment and getting out of an abusive relationship is the BEST reward.
Best Story
When Mollie left her abuser and packed her car, the last thing she grabbed while walking out of the house was her Instapot! No self-respecting woman/cook would leave behind her Instapot.

When Domestic Abuse Comes to the Workplace and Affects Engagement and Profits
