In this raw and revealing keynote, Amy Thurman shares the story behind the breakdown no one saw coming at the height of her success, and how it became the breakthrough that set her free.

It will change the way you see failure, and yourself.

A new way to rebuild. When success starts to feel like a performance and pressure replace purpose, what comes next? You’ll gain powerful insights to help you stop performing and start becoming, no matter what chapter you’re in.

Crystal Oakes

Marketing “failure” doesn’t mean you’ve hit the end of the road—it means your business is trying to reroute you. In this session, I’ll share how misalignment in my own business sparked the creation of the Marketing Roadmap framework—and how that same kind of awareness can unlock clarity for others. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of what your marketing is really telling you, plus a practical way to evaluate and improve it.

Key Takeaways:

Failure is feedback. Learn how to read your marketing “missteps” as strategic insight, not personal defeat.
A plan makes all the difference. Discover the 5-phase framework I use to help business owners get back on track.
Clarity is closer than you think. You’ll walk away with a clearer picture of where your marketing stands today—and where it needs to go next.

Session details

Dr. Tabatha Carr, ND is a leading authority in the field of women’s health and wellness. She is the founder of GOOD GIRL CHOCOLATE, a best-selling author, and a talk show co-host that has recently launch on UPLIFTTV, which is a new Christian and inspirational network.

For over a decade, Amy Thurman lived with a broken neck, a sheared brainstem, and a traumatic brain injury, undiagnosed for six months. That experience could have shattered her. Instead, it became the foundation for something greater.

After spending a year nearly bedridden and battling hopelessness, Amy made a decision that changed everything: to rebuild, realign, and rise. Through her own journey of resilience, reinvention, and radical self-discovery, she created the Polish the Mirror Framework: a transformational process designed to help others break free from fear and step into authentic leadership and living.

Today, Amy is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, educator, and fierce advocate for turning pain into purpose, known for helping individuals, businesses, schools, and organizations move from fear-based decision-making to aligned, heart-centered leadership.

Her work empowers people to uncover their worth, lead with confidence, and create meaningful impact, personally and professionally.

In June 2022, Amy joined a direct sales company and, just seven months later, was invited to share her story on stage at their annual convention. That moment confirmed what she teaches every day:

When you embrace your authenticity, the right opportunities will find you.

Known for her out-of-the-box thinking and soul-centered strategies, Amy’s mission is simple but powerful:
To help leaders lead more authentically, people live more authentically, and organizations create environments where real, lasting transformation begins.

Whether she’s speaking from stage, consulting with teams, or working one-on-one, Amy invites every audience to look inward, rediscover who they are beneath the noise, and Polish the Mirror of their lives.

Ready to ignite clarity, connection, and confidence in your life, school, business, or organization?

Let’s Polish the Mirror together.

She knows the late nights, the self-doubt, and the feeling of not being part of the “Club” that seems to know everything about running a business—especially when it comes to marketing. That’s exactly where she steps in to make life simpler.
