Q&A

Why do you believe people need to hear your talk? Because there’s a lot of confusion and weight and heaviness in the world. A lot of people are looking for answers where there may not be any, and I’m hoping to bring some clarity, some insight, and some embodiment into the mix.  

What are 3 words you would use to describe your talk? Experimental, creative, fascinating   

What made you want to be part of TEDxAM? I’ve been inspired by the TED brand and the communities that come out of it for so long. And I’ve learned so much not from just hearing different voices, but seeing people stand up in their power and communicate on a deeper level to their audiences. I’m curious what it’s going to be like to be in that role and to dig deep and share meaningfully. 

What does community here in NH mean to you? Community in New Hampshire is such an interesting thing. It’s so easy to get to all the little corners. Just a couple hours it takes to get from one side to the other. And yet we have clusters of passion and interests and insights… We’re unexpected and down to earth.

What do you hope audiences take away after hearing your talk? I hope the audience takes away a sensation of their own truth. 

If you had to pick a song that encompasses your talk, what would it be? Chicago, “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”  

What’s one thing you’re excited about right now? Being in the pocket of uncertainty.
