Speaking & Advocacy

Honest stories can help people feel seen, start conversations and find support.

I share my breast cancer experience in two ways: in paid corporate wellness talks for organisations, and as a volunteer survivor speaker with the Breast Cancer Foundation. In each talk, I share the lessons I have drawn from facing uncertainty, receiving support and moving forward. My aim is to make room for candid conversation, without suggesting that everyone’s experience follows the same path.

Ways I speak

  • Corporate wellness talks

    Paid talks for organisations’ employee wellness programmes and workplace events, arranged directly with me.

  • Volunteering with the Breast Cancer Foundation

    Through the Breast Cancer Foundation, I have shared my story as a volunteer survivor speaker with audiences in workplace and community settings.

Topics I can speak about

  • Living through a cancer diagnosis and recovery
  • Resilience when plans change
  • The role of family, friends and workplace support
  • Listening to experiences that may be hard to talk about

An invitation

I welcome enquiries about corporate wellness talks, survivor storytelling and community conversations. We can discuss the audience, format and whether a talk is best arranged directly with me as a paid engagement or through the Breast Cancer Foundation.
