I speak on podcasts, at small group events, and on panels about what happens after you've "made it" — and what to do when success feels like a trap.
Speaking Topics for Women Entrepreneurs
For entrepreneurs in a success trap:
"You Built It. Now What? Navigating Life After Entrepreneurial Success"
What to do when you've achieved what you set out to achieve — but feel empty. For entrepreneurs who've built something successful and don't know what comes next.
"The Success Trap: When Achievement Leads to Emptiness"
Why successful entrepreneurs feel trapped by their own businesses — and how to redesign without blowing everything up.
"Beyond the Build: Designing Your Next Chapter as an Entrepreneur"
You spent years building. What if you spent time designing? Helping entrepreneurs think about the next 20 years, not just the next quarter.
"From Founder to... What? Identity Beyond Your Business"
When your identity is wrapped up in being "the founder" — who are you if you step away? For entrepreneurs considering transitions.
"The Post-Achievement Crisis: What They Don't Tell You About Success"
Everyone talks about building and scaling. Nobody talks about what happens when you get there and realise it's not enough.
For high-achieving women (any field):
Perfectionism (The Hidden Driver of Burnout)
Overcoming people-pleasing (Why You're Exhausted)
Healthy boundary setting without guilt
Silencing your inner critic
Imposter syndrome
Future visioning & life design

What to Expect
I don't do motivational rah-rah speeches. I do honest, practical conversations about the things entrepreneurs don't usually talk about.
You'll get:
Real talk about what happens after you "make it"
Practical frameworks your audience can use immediately
Permission to want something different (without guilt)
Stories from real entrepreneurs navigating this exact crossroads
An engaging speaker who understands the psychology of achievement
Your audience will leave with:
Clarity on whether they're burnt out or genuinely outgrown something
Permission to explore what they actually want
A framework for thinking about their next chapter
Relief that they're not the only one feeling this way
