Our voice is our greatest superpower
yet so many of us keep our inner superhero hidden from the world
Being a lifelong introvert, I spent many years afraid of being criticized, judged, and scared of not being good enough. I chose to be ”invisible” as a way to protect myself. I had lost confidence in myself; I was full of fear and self-doubt and was absolutely petrified by the idea of speaking in public. It stopped me from tapping into my own power and being able to empower others through my own story.
A few years ago, I promised myself “Enough is enough!”, and embarked on an exhilarating journey to let go of my fears and used my voice for good. In fact, I even gave a TEDx talk to empower others to reveal their own superhero stories.

KEYNOTES
THE POWER OF BEING SEEN
"Here’s what I know to be true.
I am strong because I’ve been weak.
I am brave because I’ve been afraid.
I am “Me” and I will be seen.”
– Bernadette
Bernadette believes that the fear of being seen is at the heart of all fears. How we handle that fear determines our life path.
Bernadette’s debut TEDx talk, is to inspire the quiet and unspoken voices, help them find their inner power, be true to who they are and stand up for themselves. Be inspired by Bernadette’s life journey of struggle and victory, how she found her own power, and became stronger, more confident and driven than ever.
