About Bev
I never planned to become a speaker, a coach, or a writer.
I just lived a life that kept handing me stories too heavy to keep to myself.
I’ve been through hell, sure, but I’m also funny, stubborn, and softer than I look. I love strong coffee, honest conversations, dogs who don’t judge, and the kind of mornings that make you believe in second chances. I’ve built a life that’s real, not perfect. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that honesty heals more than time ever will.
I live in Eastern Canada with my husband, a few too many dogs, and a whole lot of mud in spring. We’ve built something simple and solid, a life rooted in peace, truth, and a little bit of chaos.
Dogs are a huge part of my world. I run two dog businesses, one focused on training and daycare, and another that pairs service dogs with veterans and first responders. It’s honest work. It keeps me grounded. And honestly, those dogs have taught me as much about presence and trust as any therapist ever could.
That’s my life now. Messy, meaningful, human.
A mix of truth-telling, healing, fur, and coffee.
Because surviving isn’t the same as living… and you deserve both.
Speaking
When I speak, I don’t perform.
I tell the truth.
I talk about grief, trauma, survival, and what it takes to start over when life guts you. I tell stories that make people exhale, the kind that sound like the things they’ve never said out loud.
I don’t try to inspire anyone. I try to make them feel less alone.
Because when someone stands on a stage and tells the truth, it gives everyone in the room permission to do the same.
