On the verge of self-imploding after a one-two punch of breast cancer and blindness, Ingrid Ricks, NYT bestselling author and mother of two, realized she had a choice: let fear and self-loathing swallow her whole, or give her inner demons the boot and rewrite the soul-destroying stories she was telling herself.

In this action-provoking event, Ricks shares how she transformed her life by flipping the stories she told herself and showering herself with love. She’ll walk you through the validity test she uses to overturn both personal and ingrained societal stories and provide the four simple steps she employs each day to keep the negative voices at bay and magnify her strengths and infinite power.
