Mallory’s Signature Talks
Keynote Speech: “Finding Help, Finding Hope”
When faced against her greatest opponent, Mallory felt as though she only had two options: choose to give treatment another chance, or choose to end her life. In this powerful presentation, Mallory will take you on a journey of her mental health challenges that started in childhood, what she calls her greatest opponents, that led to her eventual healing process, and ultimately, the creation of a mental health focused company. With a little sarcasm and a lot of honesty, Mallory will touch on a variety of mental health challenges in order to break the stigma and open the door for meaningful conversation.
Collegiate Speech: “Mental Health 101”
The best four years of your life, college is said to be the best four years of your life, but when struggling with mental health challenges, Mallory started to wonder if that sentiment was true. Entering Northeastern University a semester late, and taking a semester long medical leave all due to her mental health, Mallory speaks honestly about navigating the college experience while also maintaining good mental health. From childhood to college graduation and beyond, she tells her story with a lot of honesty, and a little sarcasm, to guide college students along their own journey. With practical tips and a lot of energy, Mallory provides insight and inspiration for students, reminding them that they too can accomplish their goals without sacrificing their mental well-being.
Group Facilitation: Intersection of LGBTQIA+ Community & Mental Health
This workshop is focused on creating a safe environment to discuss the intersection of mental health and identity. These conversations are focused on understanding the stigma faced by marginalized groups and how that stigma changes the story we tell about ourselves. Through open discussion, we will explore our identities and the narratives we tell about ourselves in order to let go of narratives that no longer serve us, and make space for the new way we want to walk through the world. This workshop wants each participant to feel seen, heard, understood, and empowered.

Testimonials
“Mallory was absolutely incredible. She was a joy to work with and I'd love to have her return in a variety of capacities here.
Her message was clear, informative and real. She shared her vulnerable story with grace, dignity and power. She was well received by students and faculty members. I told her directly, and will share with you as well, she's the best speaker I've seen in a school setting to date. She was also very patient and compassionate to students and staff with whom she engaged before and after her presentations. I think we will hear about the powerful impact she made here for a long time.”
-High School Counselor
“Wow, you are an incredible speaker! There were parts that sounded like spoken word poetry (you remind me of Sabrina Benaim)! What you do is really cool and really brave. I also struggle with OCD and disordered eating, so it’s nice to hear someone be open about their struggles.”
-Student
“Mallory was the grand finale for our programming and she got a standing ovation from 90ish people (that includes the serving staff). As my college roommate and friend for about 40 years said, "Mallory crushed it!", which is exactly what I said to her after her presentation at EMS. We couldn't be happier!!
She created a perfect 7ish min version of her story and delivered it in a clear, concise, and compelling fashion. You could hear a pin drop in the audience and she induced tears, goosebumps, and hope from the crowd.”
