"Seeing Maggie speak last night changed my life. I know I wasn't the only person touched by her story because the room had a cohesive mood of comfort and hope surrounding the issues of mental health."
Maggie Bertram grew up in several small towns in central Illinois where everyone knew each other's business. She became a master at projecting confidence, maturity, and success while hiding her thoughts and feelings inside. Maggie's perfectionism and anxiety struggles began in high school and continued through college where she struggled with shame associated with discovering her lesbian identity, major depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and anorexia nervosa.
Since her recovery, Maggie has navigated a path toward a more positive, integrated, and balanced life. She is a powerful speaker who engages audiences with her sincerity, humor, and remarkable intellect. Maggie is currently Program Manager for Student-Led Initiatives at Active Minds, Inc.
