Speaking & Presenting — The Courage Project
Speaking & Presenting

Words that
move people
toward themselves

I speak on the things that matter most — identity, purpose, biology, burnout, and what it truly means to thrive. Not just survive.

"
To be truly yourself in a world that has very specific ideas about who you should be takes courage.
— Casey Benjamin, The Courage Project

The fullest human experience
of being you

My Mission

My personal purpose is to have the fullest human experience of being me — and to help others claim that same fullness for themselves. That's not a destination. It's a commitment to staying in motion, staying curious, and saying yes to the edges of our becoming, even when they feel uncomfortable or uncertain.

I believe the path to your most authentic life isn't a gentle stroll. It's a leap. And I exist to help people find the courage to take it — armed with self-knowledge, grounded in biology, and free from the shame that keeps so many of us small.

Whether I'm speaking on a podcast, facilitating a workshop, or taking a stage, my intention is always the same: to leave people feeling more seen, more understood, and more capable of living the life that is truly theirs.

"I spent years performing a version of myself that looked successful but felt hollow. Understanding my own nature — my biology, my identity, my deep sense of purpose — changed everything. Now I dedicate my work to helping others skip the decades of guessing and step into who they actually are."

A world where people stop outsourcing their identity to culture, systems, and other people's expectations — and instead build lives rooted in genuine self-knowledge, biological awareness, and the quiet, radical act of being exactly who they are.

Three values.
One philosophy.

01
Growth

We are not static beings. Growth is written into our nature — it's the pulse of human evolution, the force that moves us from who we were toward who we're becoming. To stop growing is to stop truly living. My personal purpose is to have the fullest human experience of being me, and to help others claim that same fullness for themselves. That's not a destination — it's a commitment to staying in motion, staying curious, and saying yes to the edges of our becoming even when they feel uncomfortable or uncertain.

02
Compassion

When we can hold compassion for our own unique journey — with all its messiness, contradictions, and detours — we stop fighting ourselves and start living. Shame is not a tool for transformation. It never has been. Compassion creates the conditions for real change — for ourselves and for the people around us. When we extend that same grace outward, recognising that everyone is navigating their own deeply personal experience of being human, we can live alongside each other with more understanding and less judgment.

03
Courage

To be truly yourself in a world that has very specific ideas about who you should be takes courage. It requires thinking critically about the stories you've inherited, the boxes society has built for you, and the fear that shows up the moment you consider stepping outside them. The path to your most authentic life isn't a gentle stroll — it's a leap. Courage is what carries you through that fear and into your own identity, your own truth, your own way of moving through the world.

What I speak about —
and why it matters

Each topic is drawn from lived experience, research, and years of working with people on the edges of transformation. I weave science with story, biology with philosophy — and always bring people back to what's personally actionable.

"Don't see exactly what you need? Every talk is shaped around your audience and their specific context."

Discuss a Custom Topic
Identity
Who are you beneath the roles, labels, and expectations? How do you find — and live — your authentic self?
Purpose
Moving beyond vague aspiration toward a grounded, embodied sense of why you're here — and how to act from it daily.
Understanding Your Nature & Biology
Harnessing your unique biological wiring — personality, nervous system, circadian rhythms — to work with yourself, not against yourself.
Avoiding Burnout
The root causes of burnout go deeper than busyness. Learn to recognise, prevent, and recover from the depletion that comes from living misaligned.
Living a Successful & Fulfilling Life
Success and fulfilment are not opposites — but they do require a very different relationship with yourself and what you value.
Productivity & Performance
Real productivity isn't about doing more — it's about doing what matters, in a way that's sustainable and congruent with who you are.
The Importance of Chronobiology
Why your internal clock shapes everything from mood and metabolism to decision-making — and how aligning your life to it changes everything.
What It Means to Truly Thrive
Moving beyond baseline functioning into a life of genuine vitality, meaning, and deep satisfaction — not despite your challenges, but through them.
