Courageous Authenticity: Your Superpower and Strategy - Chesterfield, MO

A Licensed Professional Counselor, Justine Froelker has over 25 years of experience in mental health, personal growth, and professional development. For eleven years, she was certified in Dr. Brené Brown’s work on vulnerability, courage, and empathy. Justine now shares her own curriculum, Courage is Built Here. This transformative program empowers individuals to live and lead with self-awareness, authenticity, and resilience, building a foundation for courage-centered leadership. An accomplished author of twelve books—including five Amazon bestsellers—Justine has written across genres, from children’s books to in-depth explorations of infertility, faith, grief, and leadership. She has delivered two TEDx Talks, The Permission of the And and The Donut Effect, which highlight her unique perspective on navigating life’s complexities with grace. Justine is a sought-after speaker who travels nationally and presents virtually to global audiences, delivering keynotes, workshops, retreats, and trainings on topics such as leadership, resilience, mental health, coping with burnout, courageous and curious conversations, and fostering cultures of inclusion and belonging. Justine lives in St. Louis with her husband Chad and their two dogs, Gertie and Winston. You’ll often find her volunteering at Wild Bird Rehabilitation—supporting the medical team and feeding hundreds of tiny, hungry babies during baby bird season. And during butterfly season, her home comes alive with the flutter of wings as she raises hundreds of monarch and swallowtail butterflies.

In a world that rewards performance and polish, it takes real courage to show up as your whole self. In this powerful session, Justine Froelker reminds us that authenticity isn’t a liability—it’s the very thing that sets you apart. Rooted in her Courage is Built Here framework, this talk explores how practicing courageous authenticity builds trust, deepens connection, and becomes the most sustainable strategy for success in both business and life. Whether you’re leading a team, growing a business, or navigating personal reinvention, your story, your wholehearted self, and your presence are your greatest assets.

Because the world doesn’t need a version of you.

It needs you.
