International Woman’s Day Brunch

Fearless and Flourishing: The Power of Resilience

Life doesn’t always go according to plan—but resilience is what helps us rise, rebuild and keep moving forward anyway. In this inspiring and down-to-earth keynote, Val Grubb shares practical ways to bounce back from setbacks, rediscover your spark and keep flourishing—no matter what life throws your way. You’ll walk away with simple “micro-recharge” strategies to boost your energy, tools to stay grounded under pressure and a renewed belief that you can handle whatever comes next. Resilience isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, grace and the grit to get back up every single time.
