More than just a story
Although Em's story is a very intriguing and unique one, she does so much more than just recite her fall to earth and journey to walk again. With her perfect balance of candour and humour, she offers insights into things you can only see when you're staring mortality in the face or coming to terms with a reality you never saw coming.
She shares the techniques that helped her in her darkest moments, realisations she had when dealing with paralysis, how she reframed her outlook from one of despair to one of hope, and in doing so, inspires others to take action in their own lives.
Her words will remind anyone who hears them of something we all already know but often forget - you don't need to nearly die, to start really living.
Speaking Topics
Every story Em shares is shaped around your audience and what they need to hear. Some common topics are:
- Resilience in Crisis - Finding strength even when everything falls apart
- If You Can, You Must - Finding your purpose and taking action, no matter the circumstances
- Gratitude & Joy - Finding light in the heaviest moments
- Inclusion & Accessibility - Creating spaces where every body and everyone belongs
