Katie Bulmer is host of the Truth for Your Twenties Podcast, a speaker to over 30 colleges nationwide and passionate about helping sorority women unlock their world-changing power. The heart behind her dream is to be who she needed when she was a young woman looking for happiness in the arms of boys, Bacardi, and attempts to be beautiful.

IF YOU’RE A SPEAKER TRYING TO SHIFT INTO ZOOM-MODE, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.

When the pandemic hit the U.S. in the spring, Katie’s scheduled speaking engagements at nearby colleges came to an abrupt halt. Her hope, like most of us, was that by fall things would be back to normal, college students would return in person to campuses, and her speaking career could resume.

As we all know now, that wasn’t the case. Instead of letting the circumstances deal a fatal blow to her speaking career, Katie investigated what her target market needed most in the current moment and engaged them in conversations to come up with creative solutions. Those early decisions to adapt instead of quitting doubled her speaking engagements for the year, now in a virtual format, and opened the doors to dozens more campuses able to invite her to share her message via Zoom.

I love this woman and her ambition, creativity, and energy so much – even if public speaking isn’t your thing, there’s so much you can glean from this quick 20-minute conversation.

Listen and learn as she shares about:

Trying new things, taking risks, and listening to what her audience needed most,
Letting her true self shine through in her speaking,
The value of the bite-sized message, and
Just starting even when you don’t know what you’re doing.

These Pivot Session episodes are all short, honest conversations with a guest who has made a shift in her dream in response to the coronavirus pandemic that arrived on the scene in early 2020.

This is all about not allowing the enemy of our souls win the battle for our dreams. Listen in, be encouraged, and maybe even get an idea about how you might be open to God’s nudges that could shape and shift your dream during this unprecedented time in our lives.
