Request for Speakers - The Soul Spark Summit

In a world marked by constant change, emotional overload, and growing disconnection, many people feel lonely, stressed, and out of balance. Joy can feel distant, and gratitude can seem unrealistic. In this heartfelt and uplifting talk, Happiness Advocate and Resilience mentor Alexi Bracey reframes joy and gratitude as steady inner resources rather than fleeting emotions. Drawing from lived experience through major health challenges and profound life transitions, Alexi shares simple, practical tools to calm the nervous system, soften loneliness, and restore emotional balance. Through small daily practices rooted in self-kindness, presence, and perspective, participants learn how to reconnect with meaning, inner strength, and authentic joy—even when life feels overwhelming.

Many accomplished women over 40 have built successful lives, yet quietly feel exhausted, emotionally disconnected, and cut off from joy and vitality. Burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a signal that the body, heart, and soul are asking for attention.

In this interview, Andrea Sadler explores how women can move beyond burnout through meditation, mindfulness, and nervous-system awareness, combined with chakra clearing and balancing to restore energy and alignment. She also speaks to the importance of healing trauma and rewiring the brain, and of developing and trusting intuition as a practical inner compass—supporting women in making aligned choices, reconnecting with creativity, and feeling safe experiencing their emotions again.

This conversation offers compassionate insight and grounded tools for women ready to release what’s draining them, return to heart-and-soul alignment, and rediscover the joy, clarity, and aliveness they thought were gone.

Whether leading your family, your community or your team at work, being a woman calls you to lead. No leadership role is greater or lesser than any other. As a woman you are the glue that holds your world together, and you know it. But do you know how to lead YOU? What does this even mean? For countless generations, women have learned to put themselves last. Turns out that that leads straight to burnout. When you burnout, you pass that toxic torch to the next generation. Is it worth it? When you're ready to break that cycle, I'll help you get there.

Women leaders over 40 aren’t short on discipline or skill. They’re stretched by expectations, invisible labor, and a lifetime of saying yes. This session reframes the real issue: time isn’t the problem, how it’s valued is. This talk helps women leaders identify where their energy, authority, and focus are quietly leaking, and how to reclaim them without guilt or burnout. Attendees will learn how to reset standards, make clearer decisions, and create boundaries that strengthen leadership rather than limit it. The result is not fewer responsibilities, but greater control, confidence, and presence—at work and at home. This session offers a practical, human-centered approach to work-life harmony that honors experience, protects energy, and restores choice at this stage of leadership.

Rooted & Regulated: Small Steps to Big Healing is a transformative 25‑minute session where Eliza Agudelo guides participants through the foundational practices that help the body return to balance. Drawing from her holistic nutrition and trauma‑informed coaching framework, Eliza teaches how the gut, mood, and nervous system work together — and why healing begins with safety in the body, not restriction. Participants will learn a simple breathwork technique to calm stress, explore how emotional patterns shape eating habits, and discover small nourishment shifts that support gut health and energy. This presentation offers practical, compassionate tools that anyone can begin using immediately, helping them reconnect with their bodies, reduce overwhelm, and take the first steps toward sustainable healing.

Ready to explore how emotional triggers are not weaknesses, but messengers. Moments when you’re not seen, heard, or acknowledged — when your pulse quickens, your stomach tightens, you go numb, or suddenly flare up — are signals from parts of you that once had to adapt to succeed, belong, or stay safe.

High achievement often requires emotional suppression. Over time, that strategy could disconnect you from joy, vitality, and authentic connection — without realizing how it happened.

I gently guide you to understand what those triggers are teaching you, and how to safely reconnect with the parts of yourself you have disowned or lost, to succeed — without judgment, overwhelm, or “fixing.”

You are invited to return to yourself with compassion, clarity, and renewed energy because this is your year if you showed up!

What if your emotional blocks, fear, and negative self-talk didn’t actually belong to you?

In this transformative presentation, Fabienne Marneau reveals how unresolved trauma and ancestral emotional patterns can silently shape your thoughts, behaviors, and sense of self. You’ll discover why willpower and positive thinking often fall short—and how true emotional freedom begins at the subconscious and energetic levels.

Learn how inherited survival patterns, unprocessed emotions, and generational imprints can keep you stuck, and how gentle, conscious clearing can restore inner peace, clarity, and personal power. This talk offers a compassionate, empowering perspective on healing—one that clears internal resistance so you can lead, decide, and create success with confidence and clarity.

Gemma will take you alongside her daily routine that got her out of domestic violence in 2013 and that also got her to buy her first US-based home in 2023.

Only 3 words and her life completely changed. Do you want to know what these words are?

Then tune into Gemma's talk and you'll be blown away. It's so simple, but at the same time, not easy.

Many high-achieving women have built successful lives while unconsciously carrying unhealed emotional patterns that lead to exhaustion, disconnection, and loss of joy. In this session, Gini Trask gently explores how unresolved wounding can quietly impact not only our work, but our energy, relationships, and sense of self.

Rather than focusing on fixing or pushing through, this talk invites women to recognize burnout patterns, reconnect with emotional safety, and begin rebuilding self-trust and alignment. Attendees will gain compassionate insights to help them reconnect with themselves, feel safer experiencing emotions, and create a life and work rhythm that feels nourishing instead of draining.

In this uplifting and relatable interview, author, podcaster, and TEDx speaker Heidi Siefkas shares her personal journey of reinvention to help women embrace change, evolve to a new self, and claim their stories. Heidi's two tremendous forced life restarts has shaped her impactful story. In sharing hers through books, talks, and podcasts has morphed in penning and podcasting about others' stories. Stories are powerful.
