WE ARE THE STORIES WE SELL OURSELVES : UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF PERSONAL NARRATIVE

Summary:

We Are the Stories We Sell Ourselves: Understanding the Power of Personal Narrative

In this keynote, Kerrie draws on the insights of Surviving a Psychopath to explore how the stories we tell—about ourselves and about others—shape identity, influence perception, and determine the roles we play in our own lives. She examines how predators weaponize narrative to manipulate, control, and erase their victims’ truths, and how reclaiming your story can be an act of survival, justice, and transformation.

Through real-world examples and compelling case studies, audiences will see how personal narrative impacts relationships, career paths, and the way we navigate trauma. By the end, you’ll understand how to identify false narratives, reclaim your voice, and reshape your personal story to align with who you truly are—not who someone else has told you to be.

Whether you’re working to rebuild after betrayal, strengthen your personal brand, or gain deeper self-awareness, this keynote will give you the tools to protect your truth, break harmful story cycles, and step into the author’s seat of your own life.

Aurora, Mass Shootings, and the Culture of Violence

Summary:

In this gripping keynote, Kerrie pulls back the curtain on the Aurora massacre and other mass shootings to reveal the hidden pathology behind these crimes—and why blaming “mental health” misses the mark. Through real case insights, she shows how violence spreads like a shockwave, leaving scars on survivors, first responders, and entire communities.

This is a call to action: to understand the true nature of evil, to break the cycles that allow it to thrive, and to create spaces where resilience is stronger than fear.
