Tessa has one helluva story to tell. It’s gripping and at times, the stuff of horror movies.

But the personal feelings, emotions and experiences she’s been through have shared importance and relevance. They strike a chord.

Whether Tessa is motivating company employees, helping listeners feel less alone or equipping audiences with practical advice on getting through rough stuff, she does it with empathy and one-eyed panache.

This is not about scare mongering. It’s about seeing and hearing that it’s possible to move from rock bottom to resilience.

Above all, it’s about learning to stop, take a breath and focus on what’s important. Stripping back, before it’s too late.
