My Talks

Below are a few talks I give regularly. Any can be modified, or I can write talks to best support your needs!

Uncompromising Purity: It’s Not Just a Guy Problem

All too often, the topic of sexual purity is presented as something that’s exclusively a male problem. As a result, women who struggle with pornography or masturbation are left to feel as if they’re the only ones. But this isn’t just a “guy” problem. In this talk, Kelsey provides encouragement and practical strategies to overcome these and other addictions and temptations which keep women from living in freedom. By challenging the world’s imitation of love, she gives straightforward, honest, and inspiring advice on how to become uncompromising in the true love we were created for.

This talk is for women only and can be adapted for women ages 14+

What If You Gave Everything?

You’re on a retreat, at a conference, or your weekly youth group—but why are you here? What is God’s plan for you, and how can you get the most out of being here? As a great opening or closing talk for a variety of needs, Kelsey walks us though her personal experience of challenges and conversion to demonstrate that God is calling us to two essential things: to be transformed by Him and to transform the lives of others through this personal transformation.

This talk can be tailored for all ages, and is great for events emphasizing missionary discipleship or evangelization.

Evangelizing Your Family

Kelsey re-verted back to the Catholic Church when she was 17 years old, and by the grace of God, her entire immediate family joined her years later. Based on her family life and experience, Kelsey uses humor and stories to share four principles to evangelizing the family. These principles can be incorporated for those hoping to evangelize their parents and siblings, but can also translate into evangelizing your children or estranged family members.

This talk is for all ages and can be given to multiple contexts at the same time (i.e. parents and children simultaneously).

Pursuing your Vocation in Freedom

Feel like you’re stuck waiting for your “life” to begin? As someone not yet in their Vocation, it’s easy to feel like all you are doing is waiting around without any control of when the next step can or should happen. In this talk, Kelsey walks through three areas where you can invest yourself to prepare more fully before entering into your Vocation, while realizing the ultimate Vocation is our universal call to Holiness.

This talk is for all ages, and can be a great compliment to chastity or dating talks.

Living an Abundant Life

In this talk, Kelsey walks through her full reversion back to the Catholic Church in high school and college through real life situations. By sharing her experience of living in the party-culture and business world, Kelsey demonstrates that the lifestyle she originally thought would bring her happiness, actually brought the opposite. Using Jesus’ words, “I came that you might have life, and have it abundantly…”, Kelsey reveals what life with Christ is truly like and encourages others to experience it as well.

This talk can be tailored for high schoolers, college students, parishioners, or all ages.

Living Your Fiat

As the greatest saint and evangelist in salvation history, we have a lot to learn from Mary’s example. While we may not be immaculately conceived, in this talk, Kelsey walks through three aspects of Mary’s fiat we can emulate to strive to be saints ourselves.

This talk is typically for women, but can be given to both men and women of any age.

The Pursuit

Our ultimate vocation and call is first to Holiness and a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Alongside her husband, JohnMarc, Kelsey and JohnMarc walk through their relationship from friendship to marriage to demonstrate the importance of placing your trust completely in God and His perfect timing, whether it is regarding your vocation, career, or future.

This talk is great for vocation retreats as well as dating and chastity talk needs.
