Honest stories. Real hope.
For the rooms that need both.
Speaking & Events
I didn't set out to become a speaker. I set out to survive.
Life has a way of being harder than you planned — and mine was no exception. A childhood that shaped me in ways I’m still understanding. A marriage that nearly didn’t make it. Cancer. Survivorship. And then the quieter, longer journey of learning how to live with what hard things leave behind.
Somewhere in the middle of all of it — childhood wounds, marriage struggles, health challenges, faith that had been tested and rebuilt — I realized the stories I most needed to say out loud were the ones other people most needed to hear.
Today, I speak from lived experience, combining honest storytelling, practical encouragement, and faith grounded in real life to help audiences feel seen, steadied, and reminded that hope is still possible—even in the middle of hard things.
"Your sharing touched a spot in my heart."

Speaking Topics
Kim speaks in both diagnosis-centered spaces and broader women’s, faith, and resilience-centered events — bringing honesty, hope, and practical encouragement to each.
The Emotions No One Prepares You For
—and the God Who Meets You There
Cancer treatment comes with a medical plan.
But few people are prepared for the fear, grief, anger, loneliness, and questions that arrive alongside it—or remain after treatment ends. Through honest stories from her own cancer experience, Kim gives language to the emotional journey and offers faith-filled hope for meeting God in the middle of what cannot be fixed quickly.For women’s events, churches, cancer communities, retreats, and conferences.
Hope in the Hard Seasons
What does it mean to choose hope when life is hard—and doesn’t quickly get better?
Drawing from experiences with cancer, marriage struggles, childhood wounds, and a faith tested by real life, Kim shares a hope deeper than optimism: hope that makes room for honest emotions, holds steady in uncertainty, and reminds us that God is present even in the hard, holy middle.
For women’s events, church communities, retreats, and conferences.
The Long Road of Survivorship
Treatment ends. Survivorship doesn’t.
Kim gives language to the part of cancer few people are prepared for—the changed body, lingering fear, complicated gratitude, relationship shifts, and questions about who you are now. This message helps survivors feel seen while helping healthcare professionals and loved ones better understand what happens after the medical crisis has passed.
For cancer organizations, healthcare teams, survivorship programs, and caregiver communities
Messages can be adapted in length and emphasis for faith-based, healthcare, nonprofit, and community audiences.
"You have a gift for taking a tough subject
and making it relatable."

I care deeply about the rooms I walk into. Before every event, I want to understand who your people are, what they’re carrying, and what you hope they will take home, because that is where the most meaningful messages begin.
"Your words inspired me and empowered me to
want to walk out my life in courage."
