Featured Keynote Presentation

Sarah Bateman

Stories of Healing: The Heroine’s Journey

Many of us were raised on the Hero’s Journey, a path defined by striving, achieving, proving, and pushing forward.

But for many women, and for anyone who has ever felt the need to silence part of themselves in order to succeed, that story does not fully fit.

This keynote introduces The Heroine’s Journey, a framework centered on reclaiming the self and integrating who we truly are.
