How can I invite Rachel to speak at our event?

If you’ve found your way here, I’m truly honored. Speaking — whether through words on a page, from a stage, or sitting in a circle of peers — is one of my greatest joys. I know how meaningful it is to find a speaker who not only inspires but connects, who can move hearts and motivate action while honoring the vision behind your event.

My hope is that this page gives you a glimpse into who I am and how I approach that connection — the space where story meets heart, and inspiration becomes action.

For more than fifteen years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking to audiences around the world — from international conferences to intimate retreats, from national television to countless podcasts. I see every opportunity as both art and gift: a moment to remind others that they are not alone, that their story matters, and that joy can always be found again.

So before you even read more, thank you for being here and for considering me for your event. It means more than you know.

In addition to my solo speaking engagements, my business partner Dan R. Morris and I share a deep passion for helping creators and entrepreneurs build meaningful, message-driven businesses.

SPEAKING TOPICS 

I believe every audience deserves a message that meets them right where they are. While the topics below represent some of my most loved and requested talks, I love collaborating with event organizers to tailor each keynote or workshop to the heart, theme, and goals of your event.

The In-Between Space

Learning to live fully where you are, not just where you hope to be.
Life doesn’t just happen in the big moments — it unfolds in the in-between. The waiting. The rebuilding. The quiet chapters where you wonder if you’re still on the right path. This talk is about learning to see those spaces differently — not as lost time, but as sacred ground. Rachel shares honest stories and truths about what it means to live through transition, hold hope, and find peace right where your feet are.

Get Your Spark Back

Moving from survival to momentum — one brave decision at a time.
There comes a point when you know something has to change. When you’re tired of waiting to feel ready and start choosing to move forward — even if it’s one small step at a time. This talk is about that moment. It’s about rediscovering your spark, not as a feeling you chase, but as a strength you build through action. Rachel shares the shifts that move us from burnout to bravery, from numbing to noticing, from staying stuck to living alive again. It’s an invitation to rise, to move, and to remember that your spark grows when you do.

Brave Enough to Begin Again

Courage isn’t about having no fear — it’s about showing up anyway.
Starting over isn’t easy. Whether it’s a new chapter, a new dream, or simply a new day, beginning again requires a bravery that’s often quiet and unseen. Rachel’s message reminds listeners that there’s no timeline for transformation — that new beginnings are always possible, and that courage looks a lot like showing up when you’re scared and believing that something beautiful can grow again.

The Ordinary is Extraordinary: Rediscovering the Heart of Motherhood

Finding beauty in the moments that matter most.
This talk comes straight from the heart of Rachel’s viral writings on motherhood — the ones that reached millions of parents around the world. It’s about seeing the extraordinary within the ordinary, about realizing that “just a mom” has never been the truth. With honesty and warmth, Rachel shares stories that celebrate imperfection, belonging, and the everyday love that builds a family.

The Aligned Entrepreneur

Building a business that supports your life — not the other way around.
Success means nothing if you lose yourself along the way. In this keynote, Rachel brings her experience behind Finding Joy and as the co-founder of Audience Industries to help entrepreneurs rethink what growth looks like. It’s about building from alignment — crafting a business that feels like you, that honors your story, and that grows from clarity instead of chaos.

From Vision to Voice

Turning your story into impact and your message into movement.
Every meaningful business begins with a story. Rachel helps creators and entrepreneurs uncover theirs — the story that connects, builds trust, and ignites momentum. This session blends strategy with heart, showing that the most powerful brands aren’t built on trends but on truth.

Retreats + Small Group Sessions

Reclaiming Stillness

A guided experience that invites you to slow down, breathe, and remember what peace feels like again.

Layering Habits That Last

Practical, grace-filled tools for creating change that sticks — small shifts that add up to a life that feels like your own.

The Spark Sessions

An interactive experience built around story, journaling, and conversation — designed to help you find what lights you up again.

The Art of Letting Go

A reflective session on releasing what’s no longer meant to come with you — and creating space for what’s next.
