Speaking Topics

From Victim to Survivor

Maura shares her story of recovery from her eating disorder, depression and abuse. She walks you through her journey of how she moved halfway across the country to go to trauma therapy and how she found hope and healing by seeing beauty in her sufferings. Her powerful story is one of perseverance, courage and about how she discovered God the Father’s love.

Setting Yourself Free and the Power of Forgiveness

Forgiveness doesn’t excuse their behavior; forgiveness prevents their behavior from destroying you. In this compelling talk Maura shares how she learned to forgive those who have harmed her and see forgiveness as a choice through the help of God, therapy and the book The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen.

Eating Disorders: It's Not about the Food

Maura delves into what triggered her eating disorder and her long journey of recovery. She takes you inside her therapy journey and shares how she learned to see her own beauty and worth through her inherent dignity as a daughter of God. She talks about what it really means to be beautiful and the longings of a woman’s heart, while giving practical tips to her audience.

The Ache of Being Single

Everyone longs to love someone and be loved in return. Maura shares her story of past broken relationships, how she met her husband and how God truly does fulfill the desires He has placed on our hearts. She challenges her audience to find joy in the waiting and to see their single days as a gift.

The Father Wound

One of the most pandemic wounds of our world is fatherlessness. Every little girl yearns to be pursued by her father. She desires to be wanted, seen and heard. She internally asks the questions, Do you delight in me? Am I worth fighting for? Am I beautiful? Am I enough? In this talk Maura explains how due to this universal wound young girls are not learning their worth and dignity and teaches her audience that they are worth being pursued and cherished.
