Speaking & Teaching

Catholic Speaker. Author. Creative Entrepreneur.

I speak with honesty about grief, resilience, faith, and rebuilding after loss.

Drawing from lived experience as well as years of reflection and creative work, my desire is to offer steady hope and practical encouragement to those walking through difficult seasons.

Whether speaking to conferences, churches, women's gatherings, or leadership communities, my goal is always the same: to help people see that grief does not have to be carried alone.

I found Jenny Burba and the Creative Resilience Workbook as a result of taking the Design Suite Maker Conference 2025 online.  Jenny was teaching a class on making affirmations cards.  When she shared her journey on how she got to where she is now and her grief journey, it resonated with me greatly. Along with the course, she supplied a link to her Creative Workbook for taking her course.  I downloaded the workbook and started working through some of the prompts in the book.  I feel like it is helping me as I am on a grief journey myself.  I lost my 36 year old son unexpectedly a few years back and as a creative I had lost my spark in creating. This workbook can help any one dealing with lost in a way that uses art to process it. I highly recommend it.
