Cheryl’s Keynote Topics

Lead From Power, Not Pain
The pain that we never heal from overshadows over daily experience. Dealing with the trauma that has shaped our lives enables us to regain our power and live on purpose once again.
Wholeness: The New Revolution
Mental health challenges are increasing globally at alarming rates. How do we find the strength to hold onto hope during dark times? Wholeness, reconnecting head and heart, might just be the answer we’re looking for.


Unleash Your Inner Hero
It’s time to become the main character in your story.
When we try to find identity from work, relationships or money, we find ourselves falling into a downward spiral. We often do this because we are trying to hide from our true greatness.
But the world needs what is inside of you – and it’s time to unleash it.
Pain is A Purpose Powerhouse
Our deepest wounds in childhood can be forged into our most powerful weapons in adulthood. Leveraging the science of neuroplasticity, we have the power to change our thinking, rewrite our stories and live on purpose.
