Life doesn’t always follow a plan. Sometimes it changes direction without warning — and that’s exactly the territory Patti Bevilacqua speaks into with honesty, humor, and practical insight. Patti knows this work from the inside out. A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis shifted her world and required a rethinking of identity, pace, and what it means to find footing when the ground moves beneath you. Rather than offering quick fixes, her presentations create space for real reflection and grounded action. Audiences are invited to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and navigate change in a way that feels human and sustainable. Patti’s voice is clear and compassionate, punctuated with story and straight talk. She meets audiences where they are and helps them think differently about pressure, possibility, and purpose — even when life feels uncertain.

Dr Sheila Pryce Brooks is a researcher, author, and speaker whose work sits at the intersection of sociology, consciousness studies, and anomalous experience. She completed her PhD at the University of York, where her autoethnographic research examined sleep paralysis as a meaning-rich, transformative phenomenon rather than a purely clinical disorder. She is the originator of the Threshold Contact Experience (TCE) framework, a model that reframes certain sleep-wake boundary experiences as patterned, relational states of consciousness. Drawing on three decades of lived experience and over 200 international testimonies, her work identifies recurring perceptual, symbolic, and relational features that invite new methodological approaches within psychical research and consciousness studies. Dr Pryce Brooks has presented at conferences including the Society for Psychical Research and the Science of Consciousness Conference, and is increasingly invited to speak within academic, clinical, and interdisciplinary settings. Her work challenges pathologising interpretations of anomalous experience while maintaining methodological rigour and ethical restraint.

Sonja Reneé is a dynamic Speaker and Author dedicated to helping others transform their lives from the inside out. She sheds light on abandonment trauma—how these hidden wounds silently keep us attached to toxic people, unhealthy relationships, and harmful environments. Through her work, Sonja has discovered that nearly 90–95% of the people she encounters are living with unhealed abandonment wounds without even realizing it. These wounds deeply affect relationships with partners, children, coworkers, siblings, and spouses. At 49 years old, Sonja discovered that she was adopted—an unexpected revelation that sent her on a powerful journey of truth, healing, and self-discovery. As she began unpacking her past and examining her relationships, both old and new, she realized how deeply abandonment trauma had shaped her life. That breakthrough empowered her to begin the healing process, reclaim her power, and rebuild her sense of identity and worth. Now, Sonja speaks to audiences to raise awareness, share her journey, and teach others how to identify these wounds, confront them, and heal. In her book, “Abandonment Is Not Your Fault,” she courageously shares her personal experiences, the painful patterns she recognized, and the powerful process she used to break free from bondage, false narratives, unhealthy attachments, powerlessness, and generational trauma. In her new book, "Keys to Freedom," Sonja breaks down the specific emotional wounds that attract one another and the character traits that bind them together. She explains how trauma attracts trauma—meaning the unhealed wound in one person often forms an unhealthy attachment to the wounds in someone else. These connections may feel familiar or comforting at first, but ultimately they feed off each other in ways that can become harmful, dangerous, and emotionally destructive. Her book is bold, transparent, emotionally raw, and deeply transformative. Sonja took her life back—and now she is on a mission to help others do the same.
