Anne Gillaspie is a mental health and emotional wellbeing keynote speaker who speaks from lived experience rather than clinical practice. She is not a therapist, psychologist or licensed mental-health professional. She speaks as a storyteller and advocate about fear, shame, burnout and emotional honesty.
Most workplaces and conferences have added mental health to the agenda and still have not made it safe to say anything real. Resources get announced. Hotlines get listed. And people keep saying they are fine.
Anne is explicit about what she is and is not. She is not a clinician and she does not diagnose, treat or give clinical advice. What she offers is the thing clinical content often cannot: a public, human demonstration that saying the hard thing out loud is survivable.
