An unpolished take on growth, softness, and self-trust — without the noise of self-help culture.
Healing isn't linear. It isn’t clean, fast, or Instagram-ready. It’s messy. And it’s often lonely.
In this refreshingly unfiltered keynote, Dr. Jeanne Retief peels back the glossy layers of modern self-help culture to share what healing really looks like — in real time, with real wounds. Drawing from her lived experience navigating panic disorder, trauma recovery, and identity reinvention, Jeanne invites audiences into a radically honest conversation about softness, self-trust, and the long, nonlinear road to wholeness.
There are no golden affirmations or five-step plans here — just truth. The kind that holds you while you fall apart, and gently helps you find the courage to rebuild in your own way, on your own terms.
“Healing doesn’t mean you’re always okay. It means you’re safe enough to keep trying.”

"This is not a performance — it’s a presence. Life can be raw, but there is beauty in the breaking. Coming apart at the seams was a brutal kind of cleansing — I had to ember down into the ashes of my rock-bottom before I could rise anew." — Dr. Jeanne Retief
