I am looking for speaking opportunities as a Conference Keynote, Campus event speaker, or Retreat instructor. My range of topics include managing life’s defining moments, courage in dealing with mental health, motivational topics, Christian perspective on life issues, teen and college student issues, communication skills, and a variety of other topics and approaches which lower the guard and make mental health an everyday conversation.
I offer down to earth, real life stories and a living example of the deeper things behind mental health in everyday life. I dive deep into the masks we wear, authentic living, the power of the first step, the importance of letting someone in behind the walls we erect, the power of mindset and reframing, and the empowerment that everyone can help someone regardless of personal struggles.
Speaker, Author, Survivor. Sue Bowles speaks on mental health issues, sharing her story of multiple traumas including childhood rape, an eating disorder, the struggle to survive, and the hope that was found when that first step was taken. “You only have to be a step ahead to help the person behind you” is the power behind the message Sue shares.
Sue’s award-winning first book, “This Much I Know…The Space Between” is available on Amazon and Kindle. She is Master Certified Life Coach and holds a Master of Science degree in Counseling: College Student Development from Minnesota State University, Mankato and a Bachelor of Science degree in Speech from The Defiance College. Sue now leads My Step Ahead, committed to breaking the stigma around mental health challenges. She is an international podcast guest and frequent campus and conference speaker.
