SPEAKING

Michélle speaks to women’s ministries, conferences, and communities across the country, offering biblically grounded teaching rooted in Story Work. Her talks weave personal narrative, theological depth, insights from neuroscience, and practical application, creating spaces where women feel seen, understood, and invited into hope.

permission to hope.

Michélle teaches through the lens of her own story. She speaks honestly about her lived experience, allowing women to see themselves reflected in what she shares. That personal narrative creates immediate connection. Women often say they feel less alone simply by hearing someone name what they have quietly carried.

After gatherings, women frequently approach her to say, “I have felt this for so long,” or “I didn’t know how to move forward until now.” Many begin sharing parts of their own stories, entrusting them to her with vulnerability and honesty.

Her presence is steady and grounded. She does not rush pain or oversimplify healing. Instead, she creates space for honesty, reflection, and hope. Women leave not overwhelmed, but steadied. Not shamed, but hopeful. Not merely inspired, but ready to begin.

signature messages

These themes reflect the core of Michélle’s work and can be tailored to the unique needs of your gathering.

1. Untangling Your Story

Understanding how your past shapes your present.

This message invites women to gently explore the patterns that feel stuck and to consider how early experiences continue to influence relationships, leadership, parenting, and faith. Rooted in Scripture and informed by neuroscience, this teaching offers language, compassion, and a hopeful path forward.

2. Redemption & Repair

It is not too late to begin again.

Drawing from her own lived experience, Michélle speaks honestly about generational patterns, regret, grace, and the possibility of restoration. Women leave steadied rather than shamed, with renewed courage to pursue growth and repair in their own lives and relationships.

3. Holding Sorrow & Hope Together

Why healing requires both honesty and faith.

In a culture that often rushes past pain, this message invites women to slow down and tell the truth about their suffering. Through biblical reflection and personal narrative, Michélle explores how lament, grief, and hope can coexist, and how refusing to bypass sorrow is often the doorway to deeper faith and lasting healing.

In addition to keynote sessions, custom workshops, half-day gatherings, and retreat experiences are available and can be thoughtfully tailored to your community.

  • “Michelle’s words were very powerful and sensitive. I saw many teary eyes while she was speaking. My table of women were greatly moved by what she shared.”

    - Laura

  • “As I listened to Michelle vulnerably share her story, I knew that I needed to begin this work in my own life. I can see healing and clarity in the future in a way I don't believe I would explore had it not been for this moment.”

    - Joy

  • "Our group was so blessed to have Michelle Konson come to speak on story work. She is so warm, personable, and unassuming that her powerful words took us off guard a bit - there were definitely a few tears throughout the room! I was encouraged to hear from someone a little ahead of me in the parenting game talking about the redemptive work that is "never too late" to be done. We would happily have Michelle come back to our group in the future, and heartily recommend her as a speaker."
