Why Adversity is the Key to Future Identity

In this powerful and deeply personal keynote, Magie takes the audience on a journey through the defining moments of her life—moments marked by hardship, struggle, and seemingly insurmountable adversity. But rather than breaking her, these experiences became the blueprint for her transformation. This talk explores the universal truth that adversity doesn’t diminish us—it refines us. Through raw storytelling and lived experience, Magie reveals how life’s toughest challenges shape us into stronger, wiser, and more purpose-driven individuals. She introduces her signature 3R Framework —Resourceful, Resilient, and Relentless—a mindset model born from lived experience that empowers audiences to rise, rebuild, and reimagine who they’re meant to become.

Program Takeaways:
