Bernadette Jacobs helps people reclaim their stories after failure—transforming what once defined them into what now drives them.

Through storytelling, she teaches that our past doesn’t determine our credibility—it deepens it. Her talks and writing explore how we recover from failure, recognize when the social construct itself has failed us, and rebuild self-worth through story. Because when we reclaim our voice, we reclaim our power to shape the world into something more compassionate, honest, and human.

Bernadette believes storytelling isn’t self-promotion; it’s reclamation. It’s how we turn shame into strength, and experience into empathy.
