Make it a Transformation
More Than a Talk—
It’s a Transformation
A keynote should be more than a good story and a standing ovation—it should change the way people see themselves and what’s possible for their lives. My talks weave together the science of the brain, the wisdom of purpose, and a dash of humor and humanity to create real shifts. Audiences don’t just leave inspired—they leave transformed, with tools they can use the very next day.
Let's take your audience from burnout to brilliant!

Where Science + Soul Meet the Stage
You’ve got a room full of bright minds, big hearts, and untapped brilliance.
Now imagine them walking out not just inspired, but rewired — lit up with fresh energy, science-backed tools, and a deeper sense of purpose.
That’s what happens when I take the stage.
I don’t do superhero capes, Fortune 500 jargon, or “just think positive” pep talks.
I bring the perfect mix of neuroscience and soul, humor and humanity—all woven into stories and strategies your people will remember (and actually use).
Because here’s the truth: Burnout isn’t a time-management problem. It’s a purpose problem. And the fix isn’t more hustle — it’s more alignment.
Science + Soul = Transformation
Laura's Talks
Where exhausted becomes extraordinary
The Science of Seeking: Why Burnout Happens (and How Purpose Heals It)
What if burnout isn’t a sign you’re failing—what if it’s the signal that you’re waking up?
Women are burning out not because we’re fragile, but because we’ve been running our brilliant nervous systems on outdated programming. The very patterns that once earned us success and belonging are now draining our vitality and joy.
This isn’t another talk on balance or self-care—it’s a revelation about the neurology of Purpose: how your brain’s seeking drive, when directed toward external validation, fuels burnout—and how to rewire it toward meaning, authenticity, and sustainable success.
Through Applied Neurology, Human Design, and emotional energetics, Laura Cardwell shows how burnout can become the initiation back to wholeness. Your audience will leave grounded, inspired, and equipped with practical tools to reclaim your energy, rewire your patterns, and live in alignment with your true design.
The Second Half Solution: Transforming Midlife Burnout Into Your Greatest Chapter
What if everything you thought you knew about success is suddenly failing you—and it's not your fault? Women in their 40s and 50s are facing a perfect storm: the strategies that built their careers aren't working anymore, their bodies feel foreign, their emotions are unpredictable, and the old ways of pushing through are leaving them completely depleted. That's because perimenopause doesn't just change your hormones—it rewires your entire system.
This talk reveals why midlife burnout is fundamentally different from earlier burnout, and why the solution requires understanding the profound neurological and physiological shifts happening in your body. You'll discover how to work with your changing brain and hormones instead of against them, transforming what feels like breakdown into breakthrough. Walk away with a roadmap for creating sustainable success that honors who you're becoming, not who you used to be.
