Inspiring Self-Worth, Resilience & Authentic Leadership Through Storytelling
I’m a TEDx Speaker, Nonprofit Leader, and Author of ENOUGH Already: A Journey From Hiding to Healing.
I create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to reconnect with their voice, their worth, and their story.
Through lived experience, honest conversation, and healing-centered practices, I help audiences build resilience, foster connection, and embrace their truth.
Here’s how I show up:
-> Keynotes and workshops that spark action, connection, and real growth
-> Peer-led education and prevention as Executive Director of RISE Together
-> Healing-centered offerings like retreats, my book Enough Already, and self-worth experiences
Keynotes • Workshops • Small-Group Intensives • Panels • Podcasts

Authentic Leadership in Action. Lead with integrity, vulnerability, and purpose.
How I Provide It
Speaking
Nadine is a globally recognized TEDx speaker and award-winning advocate who delivers powerful keynotes that go far beyond inspiration—they create real impact. Through raw storytelling, lived experience, and practical takeaways, she invites audiences to explore self-worth, leadership, recovery, and resilience in a deeply personal way.
Whether addressing youth, educators, or professional teams, her talks spark honest reflection and empower people to take action in their own lives and communities.
Facilitation
Nadine creates spaces that feel real, grounded, and safe—where people can learn, unlearn, and grow together. As a skilled facilitator, she leads interactive seminars, workshops, leadership trainings, and retreats that invite meaningful conversation and collective transformation. Her approach blends emotional honesty with practical tools, guiding groups through experiences that build trust, deepen connection, and create lasting impact.
Whether in a school, organization, or community setting, Nadine helps groups break down walls and show up as their most authentic selves.
Storytelling Experiences
At the heart of Nadine’s work is the belief that our stories can heal us—and heal others too. Through her upcoming book, reflective writing prompts, and self-worth activations, she helps individuals explore the layers of their lived experience and reclaim the power of their voice. These offerings are designed for those who are ready to go inward: to reflect, release, and rewrite old narratives.
Whether it’s through journaling, somatic exercises, or deep listening, Nadine guides people back to themselves—one story at a time.

Storytelling Workshop Attendee
