Speaking & Media

Gina Vild is a writer, speaker, and thought leader on happiness, resilience, grief, purpose, and living with greater meaning.

Gina’s speaking work grew out of a 2019 talk on happiness that would eventually help inspire the concept for Buoyant. The audience response was enthusiastic, and she was invited to return to speak on related topics. Since then, Gina has given talks, keynote addresses, podcast interviews, media interviews, webinars, and live-streamed conversations for audiences ranging from corporate teams and annual meetings to literary events, libraries, wellness communities, and cancer organizations.

Today, many of Gina’s talks focus on resilience: how we build it, how we access it during times of loss or uncertainty, and how we can use life’s most difficult chapters as a path toward renewal, meaning, and purpose. She is also a sought-after speaker on happiness, showing how service, gratitude, and forgiveness can strengthen well-being, deepen purpose, and create a more fulfilling life.

Gina is available for keynote talks, podcast interviews, media interviews, webinars, literary events, corporate gatherings, annual meetings, retreats, and community conversations.
