I speak because too many capable, intelligent women are leading, working, and living from survival instead of self-trust.
They overfunction, push through burnout, silence their own needs, and disconnect from themselves just to keep everything moving, especially during seasons of change.
My work interrupts that pattern. I help women recognize the subtle ways they’ve been abandoning themselves, restore internal safety, and make decisions from clarity instead of pressure.
Using grounded language and embodied insight, I teach leaders how to regulate stress in real time, reconnect to their inner authority, and lead from a stable sense of self-worth rather than performance.
The result is leadership that’s sustainable, human, and effective — because it’s built from the inside out.
Vanessa is here to lead a rebellion of truth through radical authenticity. She helps people reclaim their power and remember who they were before the world told them who to be. She doesn’t fix people — she guides them home.

The Power of Re-mothering: A New Path to Inner Safety and Self-Trust
At the root of burnout, self-doubt, and chronic self-abandonment is a missing internal experience of safety.
In this talk, Vanessa introduces the concept of re-mothering — the process of learning how to meet ourselves with the care, boundaries, and inner authority we may not have received, but deeply needed.
This experience helps audiences:
• Identify patterns of self-abandonment and over-functioning
• Rebuild self-trust and inner safety
• Lead and relate from grounded worth instead of survival
This talk is especially impactful for audiences navigating transition, leadership pressure, or identity shifts.
