Featured Signature Talk—
I Didn’t Bounce Back—I Rebuilt
A raw and real story of identity loss, matrescence, and building a life that fits.
When Coral became a mother, she planned to return to work like it was a campaign launch. But what followed wasn’t a disruption—it was a disintegration. In this powerful, personal talk, Coral shares how postpartum depression, cultural invisibility, and internal reckoning led her to dismantle her old identity and build something new, grounded, and wholly her own.
From matrescence to mission, this keynote invites working mothers to reimagine success, reconnect with their values, and begin designing lives and careers that feel true—not just tolerable.
Ideal for:
Women’s leadership conferences, employee resource groups, parenting summits, HR and DEI events, wellness and mental health organizations
Key Takeaways:
Understand the psychological transformation of matrescence
Learn how to listen to your intuition and align your life with your values
Craft a long-term vision rooted in authenticity, not performance
Create a roadmap to thrive, not just survive, in working motherhood
