Have You Ever Felt the Need to Hide to Fit In?

Maybe you’ve stayed quiet instead of speaking up, held back parts of yourself, or concealed challenges—without realizing how much energy it takes. Hiding can feel like safety, but it often creates isolation, limits potential, and holds us back from real connection.

I know this firsthand. For 25 years, I hid my limb difference, thinking it would make life easier. Instead, it left me feeling disconnected and exhausted. It wasn’t until I chose to unhide that I discovered freedom, confidence, and deeper relationships.

What You’ll Gain from This Keynote:

  • Understand how hiding impacts your confidence and connection with others.
  • Learn simple steps to start unhiding in safe and meaningful ways.
  • Discover how embracing your full self can unlock joy, opportunity, and new possibilities.

When we unhide, we show up fully—not just for ourselves, but for the world around us. Let’s take that first step together.
