Conversations That Heal

What if we treated mental health the same way we treat physical health?

What if asking for help didn’t feel so hard?

What if young people didn’t feel like they had to suffer in silence?

In this deeply personal and empowering keynote, Sophie Riegel—author, speaker, coach, and mental health advocate—opens up about her own journey with anxiety, OCD, and panic attacks, and more. Sophie shares what it’s like to grow up with mental illness, how she learned to ask for help, and why she’s made it her mission to make sure no one else feels alone in their struggle.

This talk shines a light on:

• What mental illness looks like
• The difference between mental illness and mental wellness
• How to start a conversation about mental health
• How to ask for help—and how to offer it with love
• Tips and tools for breaking the stigma

Sophie doesn’t just speak about mental health—she lives it.

Whether you’re a student, parent, educator, or simply someone who cares, this keynote will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and ready to show up—for yourself and for others.
