Through Your Eyes: Reclaiming Authorship by Shifting Perspectives – Abby Mae

Through Your Eyes: Reclaiming Authorship by Shifting Perspectives
Everything changes depending on how you frame it.
In this thought-provoking keynote, Abby Mae explores how the lens through which we view our experiences shapes the meaning we assign to them — and ultimately, the lives we build from them. The same event, the same memory, the same chapter can be understood in many different ways, and those interpretations influence identity, healing, and possibility.
Through heartfelt storytelling and deep reflection, Abbie unpacks how many of us have been living inside frames built by pain, survival, conditioning, or other people’s perspectives. She reveals how reclaiming authorship begins when we become aware of the lens we’ve been looking through — and choose, consciously, to shift it.
This talk is an invitation to see your life differently. Not to minimize what you’ve been through, but to recognize that the way you hold your story can either keep you trapped in old meaning or open the door to a new chapter.
