We live like we’re in a Formula 1 race — chasing goals, inboxes, and endless “nexts.” But what if real success lies in slowing down? In this keynote, Laura reframes productivity through the lens of presence, offering a fresh perspective for high-performing teams and leaders.

Key Takeaways

• Enjoyable ways to leverage journaling as an effective tool for clarity and calm

Why It Works for Organizations

When individuals learn to pause and reset, organizations benefit from clearer communication, better time management, and increased emotional intelligence.

Topic Overview

What does it mean to be fully yourself? Not the sum of other people’s expectations, but a woman rooted in her own unique voice and body? In Non-Toxic Womanhood, Laura L. Rubin guides audiences to release the external programming that often defines women through our external roles and relationships — mother, partner, boss, daughter, friend — and return to the wisdom of their own lived experience.

Drawing on her decade-plus years of work leading AllSwell “breakthrough writing” workshops (and her experience as a twenty year breast cancer survivor), Laura reframes narrative as a practice of reclamation — one that helps women rebuild self-trust, deepen intuition, and strengthen creative confidence.

This talk offers a new model of womanhood: less performative, more presence and purpose. Through guided reflection and storytelling, Rubin shows how putting pen to paper can quiet the inner critic and restore a sense of ease in our own skin. 

Key Takeaways

• Ways to release external definitions (roles, expectations, comparisons) and write your own narrative
• A simple framework for transforming self-criticism into self-trust
• Why listening to your body is a powerful act of creativity and leadership
• How to use journaling as a tool to reconnect with your physical self and inner wisdom
  

Audience Benefits

Attendees leave with a deeper sense of authorship over their own lives. They’ll gain tools to access inner guidance, cultivate compassion, and turn down the volume on toxic messages about beauty, productivity, and worth. The result: authentic self-expression and personal dignity. 

Why It Works for Organizations

When women, and the people who support them, are empowered to show up authentically, workplaces shift. This keynote encourages healthier boundaries, better emotional intelligence, and stronger creative performance. By replacing burnout and self-judgment with clarity and confidence, teams become more collaborative, innovative, and empathetic. A culture that values presence and authenticity breeds leaders who are more intuitive, resilient, and connected.
