Transformational

I’m Shaunti Feldhahn – a social researcher, author, and semi-confused wife and mom finding my way just like you. But I also happen to have an analytical background to investigate the little things that make a big difference! I’m eager to share them with you.

My talks have been called transformational. That’s because my husband Jeff and I have interviewed and surveyed tens of thousands of people around the world to discover what most helps people thrive –and because we love to have fun at our events!

I speak to many churches and other faith-based groups each year, but also to universities, corporations, conventions and even governments. (Ask me for the funny story that happened when the Government of Singapore brought me and Jeff in to share our research.) Speaking of Jeff, we make a great team and love doing marriage events together.

  • I wish you could have been a fly on a wall the past few days after Shaunti spoke at our women’s event.

    Echoes of “Shaunti was phenomenal” were everywhere among our team! I couldn’t agree more. She has such a gift of authenticity and storytelling that bring her research to LIFE! Her talk was the best part of the night.

SPEAKING Events

Discover “Aha!” moments from Shaunti and Jeff’s research and bestselling books, including For Women Only, For Men Only, The Surprising Secrets of Highly Happy Marriages, Secrets of Sex & Marriage and more. Multiple formats include a one-session marriage talk, a multi-part marriage seminar, or a Sunday sermon with Jeff and Shaunti exploring God’s intention for marriage. (Be sure to ask how any marriage event can be interactive, and include live, anonymous Q&A and polling with the audience, if desired.)

Laugh, find encouragement, and learn from the best of science AND scripture as Shaunti addresses the challenges of life common to women – and provides practical help each woman can implement the next day! Shaunti helps women understand how to find rest and peace even in the busiest life (e.g. Find Rest, Find Joy), how to better understand the men in their lives (For Women Only), and how a specific kindness hack can change any relationship (The Kindness Challenge). She enjoys any women’s event – from the most intimate women’s retreats to the biggest stadiums. (Be sure to ask about her special women’s retreat package.)

The mental health crisis today is real, and it is not the end of the story. Based on more than ten years of research – including recent studies that resulted in When Hurting People Come to Church (2025) and Habits of Hope (releasing 2027) – there are many simple things that organizations and individuals can do to elevate wellbeing, resilience, and hope. With Shaunti’s talks (applicable to churches, businesses and/or women’s groups), you can discover how to bring tangible hope to the hurting.

Shaunti is available to speak to pastors and leaders about her 2025 release When Hurting People Come to Church: How People of Faith Can Help Solve The Mental Health Crisis. Based on surveys with 2,000 church leaders, her talk will provide insights for practical, effective ways to care for the hurting, understand the mental health crisis, and make your ministry more effective. 

Discover how work relationships should work by booking Shaunti for corporate training. A former public policy analyst with experience in the banking industry, Shaunti knows that good leaders know what makes people tick – and they know how to build an engaging work environment and make drama disappear! From understanding the research-based differing perspectives of men and women in the workplace (The Male Factor), to helping your people thrive at home (For Women only, For Men Only), to providing an empirically-tested kindness intervention that can transform your workplace or community (The Kindness Challenge), these talks and trainings are perfect for the workplace, business leaders, church leaders, and marriage and family influencers.

Unlock the parental superpower of understanding your children! Through her nationally representative research, Shaunti will take you inside young people’s minds and help you learn about their longings. Based on For Parents Only, these encouraging, equipping talks are perfect for parents, grandparents, teachers, and young adults – and can stand on their own or be a powerful part of a marriage and family weekend.

Shaunti loves speaking at fundraising events, and, as a Compassion International Ambassador, she is skilled at doing “the ask.” Fundraising revenues or sponsorship numbers often spike with her talks.  She can tailor almost any talk to your needs. And, as an analyst, researcher, and critical thinker, she is also skilled at helping audience members see why your organization is one of the best places they could invest!

We are happy to do multiple events in one weekend:

  • Friday night – Date Night Couples Event
  • Saturday – Women’s Event
  • Sunday morning – Churchwide Ministry (during sermon)
