"Shaunti has an engaging, compelling way of presenting her findings about how men think. It helped open the eyes of women to the real needs of the men in their lives, and it gave men a common language to use to talk about these things with their wives. I urge churches and other groups to give her the opportunity to share this message."

Kindness Changes Everything

women’s events • couples’ events  • singles’ conferences • pastoral interviews

Everyone is thinking about mental health these days. Divided relationships, anxious finances, social distancing, isolation, health worries—it’s a perfect storm for the soul. Many of us wonder how to heal the hurt in ourselves and our relationships. After all, we don’t want to be moody, depressed or stressed! Thankfully, research has found a crucial but little-known secret to self-care and better mental health: Kindness. Both towards ourselves and others. Every one of us has unrecognized daily habits of unkindness that unknowingly sabotage our relationships, our mood, and our ability to roll with the punches of life…and every one of us can take simple actions that create dramatic change. Kindness is the best medicine for the soul.

Kindness – it’s the secret that doesn't just transform relationships, it transforms YOU!

Come hear what both science and scripture say about joy!

Let's find joy, together!

Find Rest: A Women's Devotional For Lasting Peace In A Busy Life

Jesus said, “Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” But in this do-it-all world that concept can seem like an illusion.

Based on research and national surveys of thousands of men, women and teens, this talk opens the eyes of young men and women to knowledge and habits that truly will lay the foundation for healthy, rewarding relationships for the rest of their lives.


Public School Events

Shaunti’s research is nationally representative and compelling for both teens and parents. She is an ideal speaker for public school assemblies on relationships or Parent Association-type events.

While churches are more likely to have the type of relationship events that bring in an outside speaker, which is why she speaks at many churches and other faith-based events, Shaunti is a frequent speaker within corporate America and in public schools around the country.

Her talks and topics can be crafted to meet your needs for your next in-person or video-based event.

Feedback from Shaunti's Events

“Shaunti Feldhahn allowed God to use her to save my marriage. My husband and I were considering divorce (after 10 years).”

“When Shaunti explained what the man’s core need is versus the women’s core need, I saw for the first time that I was to blame for so much wrong in our marriage. My husband and I have reconciled and are now willing to work on our relationship. He sees the difference in how I treat him as my husband.”
—Female Attendee

“I just wanted to thank you for saving my marriage.”

“What I learned has yielded dividends far beyond my wildest expectations. And it was pretty darn easy! I had believed my purpose was to make lots of money. But I decided to try what you said for 30 days and see what happened. Within two weeks: magic! We made mad passionate love (which she initiated!) twice in the week!! Big deal you say? YES IT WAS! We had not made love in two years. Things have continued to improve. We are now planning vacations together, going out on dates, etc. Most importantly, we’re confiding our deepest dreams and fears with each other again. I feel like I did when I first met my cute little redhead best friend in college 26 years ago!”
— Male Attendee

Choosing Reconciliation Over Divorce

“I have to tell you something. I was supposed to have a meeting with a divorce lawyer on Wednesday—to end my marriage. But I’m going to call the lawyer and cancel it.”
— Female Attendee
