Why Event planners chose Brandi mac

1. Clinical Authority, Lived Reality A critical care NP with over a decade in high-acuity medicine who also parented a daughter through active fentanyl addiction, homelessness, and recovery. No theory. No distance. Real insight from both sides.

2. Harm Reduction Without Apology Education rooted in evidence, not outdated scare tactics. Audiences leave with tools that actually work, not guilt about what they did wrong.

3. Unforgettable Delivery Raw, direct, and deeply human. Brandi does not lecture; she connects. Audiences walk away feeling seen, not judged, and equipped to act.

Speaking topics

1.Do What You Can Live With: A New Framework for Families in Crisis

A raw, trauma-informed talk for families drowning in fear. How panic, guilt, and control break families apart, and how to shift into boundaries, clarity, and compassion without losing yourself.

2. The Post-Treatment Recovery Gap: Where Recovery Fails and Why People Relapse

The blunt truth most treatment centers avoid. How neurological injury, trauma history, and rapid discharge create a perfect storm for relapse. Why the current model abandons people at the most vulnerable stage, and what must change.

3. Why Families Lose Trust in Treatment (And How to Rebuild It)

A truth-telling keynote exposing unethical rehab practices, body brokering, and the dangerous myths that keep families in the dark. How to spot red flags, protect your loved one, and demand ethical care.

4. Loving Through Chaos Without Losing Yourself

A steady, grounded talk for parents, caregivers, and kinship families. How to protect children, maintain connection, and rebuild identity through grief, fear, and impossible decisions.
