LET’S WORK TOGETHER!

When you invite me to speak at your event, you get more than a speaker; you get a collaborator, encourager, prayer warrior and sister soldier who is ready to stand with you on the frontline.

SPEAKING

As someone who used to coordinate parish events, I know the time, effort, cost, and spiritual warfare involved. From the moment you reach out to me, consider yourself, your team and entire event blanketed in prayer.

We are on mission together.

My favorite thing about speaking is the people and hearts I encounter along the way. It is my mission to help all women see the value of suffering and to ensure that they know whatever it is they are facing, they are not alone. Through my relatable storytelling, devotion to the Blessed Mother, deep interior life and characteristic humor, I have the ability to connect deeply with women, inspiring them to see the beauty and meaning in their own story.
Some popular topics I speak on:

GIRL RESTORED: Reclaiming Our Identity as God’s Favorite Daughter
FROM ACHIEVE TO RECEIVE: How to Have a Contemplative Heart In A Chaotic World
HOPE FOR RIGHT NOW: Living Differently & Changing the World
BE IT DONE UNTO ME: Surrender to Suffering
HOUSE OF GOLD: Advent With Our Lady

See Laura at a Recent Conference

Laura is that rare blend of funny, relatable, and deeply moving. I’m finding more and more that readers and event attendees are craving content that offers something beyond the shallows—something to meditate on, to draw them into intimacy with God.
Laura does this effortlessly. Her words are invitations to places of prayer and interior peace.

Claire Dwyer, Author of This Present Paradise

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Laura Phelps both personally and professionally, and I can confidently say she is one of the most authentic speakers serving women in the Church today. Laura speaks from the heart, sharing her own journey with honesty, humor, and deep faith. She has a unique gift for helping women feel seen, understood, and loved by God, while offering practical encouragement for everyday life. Audiences consistently leave her presentations inspired, refreshed, and eager to draw closer to Jesus.

Danielle Bean, Author and Speaker

We were blessed to have Laura as our keynote speaker at our Catholic Women’s Conference for the Diocese of Wichita. Her deep love for the Catholic faith, authentic humor, and engaging style captivated women of all ages from the moment she took the stage. She has a unique gift for connecting with audiences across generations, leaving attendees inspired, encouraged, and drawn closer to Christ.

Susan Wilson, Diocesan Women’s Event Co-Coordinator

Laura has a beautiful gift for touching hearts by sharing her own by speaking with honesty, faithfulness, and her signature touch of refreshing wit. Laura’s approach is one of accompaniment: she knows what it means to face, and ultimately embrace, seemingly impossible crosses by leaning into the truth of our belovedness as God’s daughters, and she seeks to journey with us as we pray, wrestle, and ultimately praise our good, good Father in every circumstance.
