What to expect when you bring me in.
1. What’s This Message About?
“Why Didn’t I Die?—The Work That Sets You Free”
This isn’t just a speech—it’s the product of surviving the battlefield of addiction, relapsing, rebuilding, and doing the work for real. I didn’t study this stuff in a vacuum. I lived it for years. I’ve clawed my way back from hopelessness, and now I speak so the next me doesn’t die.
But I also bring more than just a story. I earned my Bachelor of Science from Brigham Young University, studied the brain, completed my SUDC certification through Utah Valley University, and have worked with both youth and adults in clinical recovery settings. I’ve written treatment programs, built a mental health-focused fitness business, and coached hundreds of people through the daily work of healing.
This talk fuses lived experience, science, and action—delivered with raw honesty, practical tools, and a message people don’t forget. Because I don’t just talk about recovery. I embody it.
2. What Will Your Audience Walk Away With?
Real hope. Tangible tools. A challenge to change.
I don’t do surface-level inspiration. I do deep work that sticks.
Audiences leave feeling:
🔹 Inspired to believe healing is possible
🔹 Grounded in five life-saving practices
🔹 Motivated to take ownership and start their version of the work
This is the message I wish someone gave me when I needed it most.
3. What Do You Speak About?
The Talk: “The Work That Sets You Free”
This 60-minute keynote breaks down:
🔹 The work you’re avoiding is the work that will heal you
🔹 A daily psychic change is the requirement—not the option
🔹 The 5 things that saved my life: structure, routine, accountability, community, and purpose
I use my story to teach what recovery actually looks like—and how anyone can apply these principles to their own life, no matter where they are.
4. Who Is This For?
If your people are stuck, hurting, or rebuilding—this is for them.
I speak to:
📍 Youth & treatment programs
📍 Schools, churches & athletic teams
📍 Conferences on addiction, leadership, and mental health
If your audience needs truth, not fluff—this is the message.
5. What’s the Experience Like?
Raw. Honest. Uplifting. No BS.
I combine stories, reflection, challenge, and motivation.
Expect:
🔥 Realness: No sugarcoating. Just the truth.
💡 Breakthrough moments: Audiences see themselves in the story.
🛠 Practical takeaways: Tools for change that start today.
I stay after. I talk with people. I give everything I’ve got—because I know what it’s like to feel like it’s all over.
