In Conversation
Research. Storytelling. Conversations that stay with people.Whether speaking to conference audiences, university students, leadership teams, women's events, or podcast listeners, Dr. Carlette Norwood creates space for honest conversations about trauma, resilience, narcissistic abuse, identity, healing, and the hidden burdens we carry.Drawing on her expertise as a Sociologist, educator, and cultural storyteller, her work challenges audiences to think differently while leaving them feeling seen, understood, and inspired.
Why these conversations matter
Some of the most important experiences of our lives are also the ones we struggle to talk about. Trauma. Loss. Identity. Harmful relationships. Workplace toxicity. Emotional survival.
My work is not about offering easy answers. It is about helping people understand the forces that shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world.
Through research, storytelling, and honest dialogue, I create spaces where people can explore these experiences with curiosity, compassion, and greater understanding.
Where I've spoken
Trusted by universities, organisations and communities worldwide.
From keynote presentations and guest lectures to workshops, panel discussions, facilitated conversations, and media appearances, I have been fortunate to engage with audiences across education, industry, and community settings.
Every audience brings its own experiences, questions, and stories. My work is rooted in creating thoughtful conversations around trauma, resilience, identity, healing, and the hidden burdens we carry, helping people find language for experiences that are often difficult to name.
Bring this conversation to your audience
Every audience carries its own stories, challenges, and questions. Whether you are planning a conference, leadership event, university programme, panel discussion, workshop, podcast, or community gathering, I would love to explore how we can create a meaningful conversation together. My work combines sociology, storytelling, and lived experience to help audiences think more deeply about trauma, resilience, identity, healing, and the hidden burdens we carry. The goal is not simply to inform, but to create conversations that stay with people long after the event has ended.
