Now live! Hear my conversation with Katie Radel on her new podcast, "Condolences and Casseroles"
There's a script for loss: the card, the casserole, and "let me know if you need anything." Condolences and Casseroles is for everything that the script leaves out. Host Katie Radel grew up in a funeral home and built a career finding the words for the highest-stakes moments, and she's bringing both to honest, funny, sometimes messy conversations about grief. We all know how to send the card and the casserole. This is the show about what the card doesn't say and what happens after.

Now Enrolling Seed to Stage™
The on-demand course for speakers ready to go pro!
Seed to Stage™ is a complete roadmap for speakers, entrepreneurs, and professionals ready to build a keynote that captivates audiences and a speaking business that pays. Across three powerful modules you’ll learn how to craft your signature story, charge confidently for your keynote, and design a keynote that captivates any room.
Now Certified. Always Committed.
I’m proud to be a certified presenter with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). It is one of the most respected mental health organizations in the country. This certification isn’t part of my keynote curriculum. It’s the foundation beneath it. It means that when I take the stage, I bring far more than personal experience. I bring trained expertise, evidence-based knowledge, and a standard of excellence that only a select group of speakers can claim.
When the message matters most, credentials matter.
The Conversation Doesn't End With the Keynote.
The Perfect Stranger is live on TikTok. Share a story of kindness, a moment you were the perfect stranger, or someone was there for you when it mattered most.
Stories heal. Voices matter. Your story could inspire someone you’ve never met.
Follow @perfectstrangerproject and help keep the conversation going.
