• The Journey from Hard Times to Joy

Keynote Abstract: 

What if your best life is on the other side of your hardest times? Uncomfortable events can become our most transformative, but only if you have the tools to manage the moment. Kelsey Chittick is a best-selling author and keynote speaker who teaches audiences to lean into the pain, find humor in the dark times, and stay grateful…not in spite of what happened, but because of it. Often, we get stuck on worn-out stories while labeling events “good” or “bad” simply because of how they make us feel. Kelsey walks the audience through her aggressive acceptance technique to challenge those stories and get curious about what we can learn from hard times. In this rousing, no holding back,engaging and laughter-filled keynote supported by stories of her own experiences walking through the hardest years of her life after her husband’s sudden death, Chittick effortlessly moves the listener
from tears to laughter with the realization that life’s most difficult moments can also be the ones that ultimately teach us how to live our best lives.
