Justine Froelker Courage & Resilience Speaker

I want to truly connect.

I don’t do small talk. I also don’t want to talk about the weather.

I want to truly connect.

Because here’s the truth—most people walk through their days feeling really alone. And real change? It only happens in connection.

So instead of asking, “How are you?” and getting the predictable “I’m fine,” I ask questions that get to the heart of it:

What are you worried about
What are you excited about?
What’s on your mind
What’s on your heart?

Let’s connect where it matters most.
Because connection is what it’s all about

I’ll start:
How all the work will get done.
My new curriculum.
All that work.
How grateful I am for this life.
