How often do you lose yourself just to fit in? How often do you feel society’s pressure to be successful? Do you ever find yourself wondering, “Where do I really belong?” or “What am I even doing here?”
A theatrical, relatable keynote on mental health, the masks we wear, and the courage to truly be yourself. With laughter, a tear, and plenty of moments of recognition.

A theatrical, relatable keynote on mental health, the pressure to fit in, and the courage to be yourself. With humor, personal stories, and plenty of relatable moments.

How often do you lose yourself in this world full of social media? How often do you pretend everything is fine when, deep down, you feel completely different? How much pressure do you feel to be successful, likable, and good enough?

From a young age, we develop all kinds of masks to protect ourselves. We want to be liked, to fit in, to meet others’ expectations, and above all, not to be rejected. So we adapt, please others, raise the bar, or pretend everything is fine. On the outside, everything seems fine, but what’s happening on the inside?
When you’re so preoccupied with who you think you’re supposed to be, you drift further and further away from who you really are—and that takes a toll on your mental health.

In this keynote, Irma van Herwaarden takes you into the world of our masks. A story about insecurity, pressure to perform, comparing yourself to others, and the search for who you truly are.

With a laugh and a tear, she’ll get you thinking.

This keynote is specifically designed for young adults and is suitable for vocational schools, community colleges, universities, student organizations, and other groups that work with young people.

As part of this keynote, Irma will stay after the presentation to chat, answer questions, or discuss the personal experiences of the young people in the audience.
