Talking Points
Keynote: Pretty Delusional
In this heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply honest keynote, actress, producer, and storyteller Kimberley Crossman shares her journey through an industry built on rejection while navigating some of life's most challenging chapters, including miscarriage, fertility struggles, postpartum recovery, and mental health.Keynote: Pretty Delusional
Through self deprecating humour, hard won lessons, and vulnerable storytelling, Kimberley explores what it means to channel your own main character energy. She challenges audiences to lean into "delusion" as a conscious choice, back themselves before the evidence exists, and recognise when resistance is a sign to pivot rather than quit.
This talk is a reminder that confidence isn't the absence of fear, resilience isn't the absence of heartbreak, and our scars are often the very things that make us powerful.
Audiences will leave feeling inspired to embrace vulnerability, redefine rejection, trust their own path, and step into the next chapter of their lives with greater courage, authenticity, and purpose.
