Choosing to Thrive-Your Choices Matter

This presentation can be used for nearly any audience.

*Addiction, DUI, abuse, overcoming tragedy/challenges, motivational, acceptance and resilience.

Carey evokes your emotions with her humbling experience and her resiliency to overcome her odds.

Grace and Grit-Ag

Carey describes how she received her permanent injuries and how as a partially disabled woman she is now the primary caretaker of a 120 cow/calf operation.

Faith is like Wi-Fi

Having the courage to try, the determination to continue trying and the faith in yourself that you can accomplish magnificent feats is within your reach.

Believe in yourself. Carey used the support system around her, listened and eventually agreed with God on what her purpose now is.

Listen as she shares her emotional journey and humorous relationship with the One we sometimes call " The Man Upstairs"

Healthcare-Choices in how You React to Patients

Carey has worked with patients during some of their worst times as they came in for care.
She shares how your choices when interacting with those patients can play a huge role in their recovery.
Listen as she gives her view from both sides of the gurney.

Community and Healing

Community plays a large role in how a member reacts to tragedy/challenges and how well they recover from it.

Carey will retell how the communities around her family rallied for years during her recovery to help her recover to the point that she is today.
