Personal Details

Bio

Brittany Richmond is a dynamic and charismatic mental health expert with over a decade of experience. Diagnosed with multiple anxiety disorders, including an impulse control disorder, right after high school, she was inspired to enter the field psychology.

Brittany has since dedicated herself to ending the stigma surrounding mental health and reaching out to as many struggling young people as possible with her story and voice.

Brittany is a highly sought-after, emotionally engaging teen mental health speaker, and one of the few active women in the youth market today. She has spoken on prestigious youth leadership stages nationwide, delivering her empowering message: "Become an Overcomer." Recently, she was honored with the 2024 Voice for Positive Change Award from the Illinois Association for Behavioral Health and Operation Snowball, LLC, and her debut book, "Lies My Anxiety Has Told Me," became a bestseller.

Her keynote presentations are interactive and deeply connecting, helping students feel seen even in large audiences. Focusing on communication, creating supportive spaces, and overcoming negative self-talk, Brittany is real, raw, and relatable, framing her insights in ways that resonate with teenagers and young leaders.

Beyond her professional life, Brittany cherishes her time with her husband Zach and her kittens Fox & Fin. She enjoys rocking out to 80s hair bands, working out on her Peloton and binge watching Gilmore Girls. She lives in Green Valley, Illinois, and lovingly refers to herself as a "hot-mess express."

Become an Overcomer: The Breakfast Club's Guide to Mental Health

Join Brittany for an electric, high-energy keynote that breaks the stigma around mental health in leadership—with a nostalgic nod to The Breakfast Club! Just like the students in the film who seemed nothing alike, today’s leaders often hide behind labels and expectations. But the truth? The power is in conversation and connection. Brittany uses this iconic movie to show how opening up and talking about how we really feel dissolves walls, ends power struggles, and creates authentic leadership. With humor, heart, and her own story of battling anxiety, Brittany exposes the LIES anxiety tells us—like “you’re not enough” or “you have to have it all together.” She creates a space where students feel seen, safe, and inspired to lead with empathy. Whether they speak out or reflect quietly, everyone walks away with tools to manage stress, build real connections, and become the kind of leader who lifts others. Because no one should lead—or struggle—alone.

Reviews

Testimonials (1)
  • “I felt like it was just her and I in the room, because she was really hitting home with every sentence she said. The talk felt so personalized that I forgot it wasn’t just her and I. I was in a room full of people. Words cannot express the relief I feel now. My life is still messy, but instead of letting it consume me, I’m learning to live WITH it. Brittany also pointed that out: we can live with anxiety AND have a happy life. Her speech was life changing and I will be forever thankful that I was in that front row.”
    Klayr, TNStrong Teen Summit
