Speaking

I am available for speaking engagements, including keynotes and panels, as well as online, radio and TV appearances.

Speaker’s Bio

Dorothy Krajewski is an Australian blogger and business coach, based in Ballarat, Victoria.

She is passionate about blogging, mental health advocacy and helping women recover from domestic violence.

Dorothy has previously spoken at the Digital Parents Conference 2012, the Mental Health Unconference 2012, the Melbourne Writer’s Festival in 2013 and various events in Ballarat.

She runs a regular networking group for women entrepreneurs in Ballarat and has hosted a series of Ballarat Business and Lunch events in 2015-2016.

Dorothy has been blogging since 2009, using her blog as a way to process what goes on in her head, speak out about mental illness and discuss the reality of sole parenting. Having survived an 18 year emotionally abusive relationship, she wants to help other women recognise the signs of this invisible abuse and help them see that recovery is possible. She advocates for the benefits of speaking out about those things we are most ashamed of, as a way to help us build shame resilience (as written about by Brene Brown) and to use the online connections we build to help us traverse some of our most difficult times.

In addition, Dorothy is passionate about women’s voices being heard on the world stage – through their blogs, their businesses and their causes. Women have the power to change the world, one small difference at a time, whether they are passionate about crochet, parenting or digital marketing. All our voices matter and they all add up to the overwhelming voice for world societal change.

Some topics that Dorothy can address are:

“Are you being heard? Women’s voices matter and how you can change the world”

“Blogging for healing and connection”

“Overcoming trauma and finding your true North”

Sam and I went to see a couple of houses in Geelon Sam and I went to see a couple of houses in Geelong today and in between we visited Eastern Beach. It's like a little St Kilda, without the cake shops. Or at least we didn't find any.

This house hunting business is exhausting, when you have to travel so far. Three more trips next week. At least Sam is proving to be a fun companion.

It stopped being reliable for me a while ago, due to lack of care, due to lack of money. Now off to another family and another life.
