Libbey Pelaia-Krumhansl is a public-health practitioner, published researcher, and founder of O.W.L. - Our Wellness Lives, a movement blending science, soul, and rebellion to redefine what healing looks like. After two decades designing community-rooted programs on mental health, chronic illness, and stress resilience, Libbey felt a higher calling to challenge the outdated systems keeping people stuck. She turned her own lived experience into a blueprint for transformation, empowering others to reclaim their health, voice, and purpose.
Through her keynotes, workshops, and writing - including her book, Born Into the Fire: The No-BS Glow-Up Guide for Turning Pain Into Purpose - Libbey helps audiences understand that wellness isn’t about perfection; it’s about reclamation. Her work combines neuroscience, storytelling, and heart-centered tools to ignite self-leadership and collective healing. When she’s not speaking or writing, she’s creating music, exploring holistic wellness, and reminding people that the spark within them can light entire worlds.
