Hey! Interested in volunteering to speak. I am a teacher, public speaker, facilitator and have lots of experience in this:

I speak a lot about mothercentric business and creating creative and work lives that are centered around motherhood, living within seasons of life, and attuning to creativity and business in a more soulful way. Anti hustle girlboss culture because as mothers we need to avoid burnout. Something shifts within.

I have a handful of other subjects I’m competent in but let me know if you feel as though this could be helpful for your audience x

Yes, please apply. I think mothers would enjoy this topic and haven’t specifically seen many submissions about work life and motherhood mental health.

I'm not a graphic designer but I'm looking forward to supporting this event, Chanel. It's important.

Have you reached out to the National Maternal Mental Health organization to see if/how they could sponsor or promote the event?

Speaking of that, have you thought about securing paid sponsors?

Also I’d just love if you would continue to use your platform to support the event. I need advocates like that too!

I honestly feel very nervous contacting them. Consider that my “I’m not important enough” fears.

I do want to secure paid sponsorships and am currently building out levels for that.

I understand that insecurity well, Chanel. My only advice is: do it! Just make the list of the ones you’d like to ask. Some may say no. Some may never respond. But there may be some who say YES, and you never know until you try.

Chanel, let’s chat! I’m on the board of my state’s PSI chapter and could brainstorm with you ways to connect with PSI central.
