Speaking Topics
Talks & Workshops
For Women
Seven Secrets Every Woman Must Know About Men
Fun, lively, and eye-opening
Men are attracted to women for our confidence and femininity. Find out what keeps a man interested, and discover what you already possess that is so alluring and desirable to men. A favorite with audiences — insightful, entertaining, and genuinely eye-opening.
For Men
Seven Secrets Every Man Must Know About His Wife
The companion talk — built just for him
What actually makes a woman feel loved, safe, and desired — and why the things men think will work often miss the mark. A straightforward, no-shame look at what his wife needs most, so he can show up in the ways that truly land.
For Couples
Journey to Intimacy
For couples ready to close the gap between them
Real intimacy is built, not found. This talk walks couples through what it actually takes to feel close again — emotionally, physically, and everywhere in between — and how to keep choosing each other on purpose.
Growing & Evolving Together
For couples who want to stay ahead of drift, not just recover from it
Marriages don’t stay the same — the two of you keep changing, year after year. This talk explores how to keep growing and evolving together on purpose, so the marriage keeps up with who you’re both becoming instead of quietly falling behind.
Affair Recovery: Healing After Betrayal
For couples, counseling teams, and support organizations
What betrayal actually does to a marriage — and to each spouse individually — and the real path from crisis back to trust. Grounded in the understanding that an affair is also a grief, and that grief must be honored before trust can be rebuilt.
Marriage & Children: Shifting Priorities
For working parents holding it all together
How the demands of career and raising a family quietly push a marriage to the back burner — and what it takes to protect the “we” while still showing up fully for work and kids. Practical, honest, and built for couples in the thick of it.
When Breast Cancer Touches a Marriage
For couples facing illness together
A breast cancer diagnosis changes a marriage — for the wife, for the husband, and for the relationship between them. This talk speaks honestly to both partners about fear, identity, intimacy, caregiving, and staying connected through a season neither of them chose.
I also lead an ongoing circle for couples navigating this and similar seasons →

Why Bring Me In
I’ve devoted decades — and more than two dozen certifications — to one question: how does love survive its hardest moments? Certified Couples Relationship Coach, Gottman Method trained and certified, EFT certified, Imago certified — and also a Certified Grief Coach, because I know firsthand that a marriage under pressure, whether from betrayal, from the weight of family life, or from illness, is grieving something. That grief has to be honored before healing can begin.
