🌸 Women’s Leadership Conference 2025
Part of the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce Events Series

Featured Presentation: I Swear I’m Fine
Presenter: Natalie Parker, Owner of Rural Grant Resources

Description:
In a world where “I’m fine” often hides burnout, grief, and exhaustion, Natalie invites women leaders to reimagine wellness as alignment, not perfection. Through her personal journey of navigating loss, resilience, and transformation, she offers insight into what true health and fulfillment look like for women balancing leadership, family, and community roles. Expect honesty, humor, and practical strategies for stepping back into alignment with your truest self.

Presentation Highlights:
• What wellness really means beyond diet, fitness, and performance
• The Honeymoon Effect: remembering the energy of belief and unstoppable joy
• Why burnout culture fails us and how alignment creates lasting resilience
• Practical tools to define YOUR personal wellness path
• Interactive reflection prompts to uncover what’s truly out of sync

Key Takeaway:
Wellness is not about “looking fine.” It is about living in alignment with who you are. When you step into that space, you don’t chase, you attract. You don’t burn out, you shine.

In this fiery and fiercely honest keynote, Amanda brings the BRILLIANT Method to life—a leadership framework designed for women who are done playing small and ready to lead like the powerhouse they are. With a fearless blend of personal grit, professional wisdom, and just the right amount of sass, Amanda walks you through what it means to be B.R.I.L.L.I.A.N.T.: Bold. Resilient. Integrity. Leadership. Listening. Impact. Authenticity. Nerve. Thrive. This isn’t a talk about hustle culture or bland corporate jargon.
