Featured Signature Talk—

I Didn’t Bounce Back—I Rebuilt

A story of identity loss, matrescence, and rising through authenticity

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
