talks & podcasts

talks in community, about community​, with community

sharing the story, increasing awareness. Being part of a larger conversation.

With each video, interview, podcast, speaking engagement, helps me go deeper into sharing the story of Hotel Goodbyes – my story.  With each conversation I am able to share more personal insights, enriching discussions on community-building that complement and expand upon the themes explored in the book. These conversations are an opportunity to explore another layer of my journey, to offer greater perspectives and experiences that enrich the narrative and provide deeper insights into the challenges we face and the collective strength we possess.

Through these videos and podcasts, I aim to foster a deeper connection with you, the reader, and to offer a platform where we can collectively explore ideas that inspire growth, resilience, and compassion. Join me on this journey of discovery, as we uncover new perspectives and celebrate the transformative power of human connection found within the pages of Hotel Goodbyes.
