Brigette Gildemaster is a keynote speaker, 2x international bestselling author, host of The Fierce Voice Podcast, and founder of Embodied Peace Collective.
As a survivor of spiritual and romantic trauma, she now teaches practical nervous system tools—like breathwork, somatic movement, and emotional embodiment—to support real regulation and real leadership.
Her work isn’t about motivation that fades—it’s about transformation that lands deep in the body.
What if burnout, overthinking, and disconnection weren’t personal failures—but nervous system signals?
In this powerful keynote, Regulate & Lead, Brigette Gildemaster reveals how regulating our bodies can unlock a deeper kind of leadership—one rooted in clarity, calm, and connection.
Most people don’t realize they’re stuck in survival mode—because survival looks deceptively functional. It looks like burnout, people-pleasing, overachievement, and constant overdrive. But beneath the pressure and perfectionism is often a dysregulated nervous system calling for safety, stillness, and breath. This keynote offers a transformative new lens on leadership, stress, and presence—one that starts in the body.
In Regulate & Lead, Brigette Gildemaster brings together her lived story of overcoming spiritual and relational trauma with science-backed nervous system tools like breathwork, somatic movement, and emotional embodiment. With raw truth and grounded clarity, she invites audiences to rethink how we define strength - and shows them that a known sense of inner peace is not a luxury, it’s a leadership skill.
This is not about slowing down for the sake of it. It’s about creating the conditions where people can access their full voice, vision, and power—without bracing, burning out, or acting peaceful. When people feel safe in their bodies, they show up with more creativity, connection, and clarity. That’s where real leadership begins.
Audiences will walk away not just inspired - but equipped. Brigette offers simple, practical, body-based tools that can be used right away in real life and real work moments - from high-pressure meetings to difficult conversations.
Whether you're leading a team, holding space for others, or simply trying to stay steady in a chaotic world, this keynote will give you the tools to lead with nervous system intelligence, and live with embodied peace.
As a survivor of both romantic and spiritual abuse, Brigette Gildemaster knows what it means to break free from a life that was never truly hers. She walked away from an abusive marriage—despite opposition from her church and community—to reclaim her voice, her body, and her future.
Now a 2x best-selling author, keynote speaker, and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, Brigette teaches audiences how to heal their nervous system and create a lasting sense of peace and safety, guiding them through breathwork, regulation tools, and emotional embodiment.
Whether she’s leading a room of survivors, teaching professionals how to regulate their nervous systems, or sharing her journey on stages, Brigette’s mission remains the same: to help humans heal their nervous system after trauma by using breathwork to create a lasting sense of peace & safety.
