What is Talk Tapas?
These speakers have been working together over the last few months to dig into their stories, their ideas, and their expertise and craft a talk to share with their audience, and with the world.
You get to witness the World Premiere of these talks. If *you've* ever imagined giving a talk, or if any of the topics above spark your noggin, or if a friend or a colleague is speaking and you want to see them shine in all their glory, join us!

“Oh, Captain, My Captain”: From Loneliness to Possibility
For some of us, living can feel oh, so remote! Maybe you’ve combined work with life in the same place and it’s devoid of people! Or other changes have happened (you’ve aged, for example, moved, or retired) and you’ve lost community. “Where are my people?” you ask! Loneliness comes and goes as a companion, hanging out near your door ready to sneak inside. This can’t be healthy (it’s not!).
In, “Oh Captain, My Captain, From Loneliness to Possibility,” Amy will share how it’s possible to find community regardless of whether you’re an introvert or extrovert. Hint: It’s a matter of life and death actually. As humans, we need one another.

You're not broken, you're unique
The U.S. is sicker than ever. The "one size fits all" approach is not working. We have access to endless information which paradoxically leaves us with an abundance of conflicting and confusing information. If you or a loved one has been struggling with a chronic health challenge, please know - you're not broken, you're unique. Personalized medicine offers a root-cause approach and path to true healing.

Prepared? The Relationship-Saving Power of Financial Conversations
Vivian Cobb knows firsthand what happens when couples don’t talk about money, because it happened to her. After being blindsided by devastating financial realities after her husband died, she turned her pain into purpose. Now she helps couples confront the conversations they may be avoiding, before it’s too late.
In Prepared? The Relationship-Saving Power of Financial Conversations, Vivian guides audiences through essential shifts every couple needs to make to stop avoiding and start talking. With a mix of personal story, relatable examples, and actionable tools, she breaks down how to move from silence to clarity, fear to trust, and confusion to shared direction.

"Not That Bad" is Eating You Alive: Untangling Emotional Neglect
Many of us believe our childhoods were "not that bad," yet we carry a silent burden of anxiety, insecurity, and self-blame. I’ll share my journey as an example that exposes the cost of emotional neglect and unspoken family rules like "don't make waves" and “don’t air out dirty laundry”. I’ll offer the first steps of a compassionate path to untangle these old patterns and come home to your authentic, healed self.
