Hello
I'm Nadine Machkovech, aka @nadine.speaks
and I've learned You're Not Broken, You're Just Carrying Too Much
For over a decade, I have helped people come out of survival mode and rebuild self-trust—through storytelling, lived experience, and real conversation.
I center human experience, not performance.
Through lived experience, healing-centered practice, and peer-led evidence-based prevention work with RISE TOGETHER, I help groups reduce stigma, build resilience, and create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to take action.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
Just start where you are.
Start with the Book
If you’re doing this work on your own and need something honest to come back to.
Join a Reset
If you’re ready for real conversations, connection, and support.
Bring this into your space
For teams, schools, and organizations ready to build connections and reduce stigma.
Continue the Conversation Off the Stage...
My book Enough Already meets audiences where they are — navigating worth, identity, and healing.
Enough Already is for the version of you that’s been holding it all together… and is tired.
It’s not just something you read.
It’s something you feel.
A return to yourself.
A way out of survival mode.
A starting point for something different.
This Work Is Personal
I’m Nadine—speaker, author of Enough Already, and Executive Director of RISE TOGETHER.
For over a decade, I’ve been doing this work in rooms across the country—helping people tell the truth about what they’re carrying, and creating spaces where connection actually happens.
This isn’t theory.
It’s lived experience, real conversations, and work backed by over 10,000 data points in partnership with the Penn State College of Medicine and indexed in the National Institutes of Health.
As seen in:
If you’ve been holding a lot for a long time…
you don’t have to keep doing it alone anymore.
