What if your life needs to be completely rebuilt not once, but several times?

A raw, honest and surprisingly hopeful story about resilience, loss and starting over again and again. Due in part to the impact of ADHD and its associated susceptibility to impulsivity and over-stimulation, Franka's life ran differently than she ever expected.

The power of rising again and again.

What if your life needs to be completely rebuilt not once, but several times?

Franka takes her audience through a raw, honest and surprisingly hopeful story about resilience, loss and starting over again and again. Due in part to the impact of ADHD and its accompanying susceptibility to impulsivity and over-stimulation, her life ran differently than she ever expected. More intense, faster and often harder than anticipated.

With candor and humor, she recounts how a sports injury led to a botched surgery. It became the beginning of a long chain of recovery surgeries, events resulting in permanent disability.

Losing her business, a divorce, her dream life in Spain, the impact of COVID lockdowns. living with chronic pain and eventually permanent physical limitations followed one another.

And yet one thing kept coming back again and again: getting up again.

This is not a story about failure, but about surviving, reinventing and carrying on when life keeps pulling you down. Like a tumbleweed.

With humor and raw honesty, Franka shows what happens when you have no choice but to start over. How unexpected strength can emerge from that very thing.

A lecture that chafes, touches and inspires: about the vulnerability of life. The power of perseverance and the ability to keep reinventing yourself.

Franka speaks for everyone, especially women, who after trauma, loss or major life changes want to find the strength in themselves to keep going, to choose a new direction and build resilience.
