For more than two decades, I told stories that helped people understand the world around them. Today, I tell stories that help people better understand themselves.

I’m Brigida Mack—an award-winning former television journalist turned keynote speaker, storyteller, and thought leader. I use humor, hard-won wisdom, and honest storytelling to create the kind of conversations that make people pause, see themselves more clearly, and remember what they already know.

SIGNATURE KEYNOTE

Wellness, Weariness and Wiped Out:

How to Stop Self-Abandonment in the Name of Trying to Do It All

Burnout doesn’t always look like falling apart. Sometimes it looks like holding everything together while quietly losing yourself in the process.

In this powerful and deeply relatable keynote, Brigida Mack explores the hidden cost of self-abandonment—the everyday choices we make to prioritize performance, productivity, and everyone else at the expense of ourselves. Through humor, honest storytelling, and hard-won wisdom, she helps audiences recognize where they’ve been disappearing from their own lives and shows them a different way forward.

Because the opposite of self-abandonment isn’t self-care. It’s self-honoring.

AUDIENCE TAKEAWAYS

Audiences leave this keynote with:

• A clearer understanding of how self-abandonment can hide behind productivity, responsibility, and “doing it all.”

• Practical ways to recognize when they’re prioritizing everyone else’s needs while ignoring their own.

• A new framework for thinking about boundaries, rest, capacity, and the choices that protect their well-being.

• Permission to replace performance with presence—and begin making small, intentional choices that bring them back to themselves.

• A powerful reminder that wellness isn’t something we earn after everything else is done. It begins with honoring ourselves along the way.

What Stays With Them

“Brigida, you’re speaking to me more than I thought anyone could at this time in my life. Thank you for speaking to my soul and so many others!”
