Say Aloha to Sara
Many speakers talk about resilience- but few have lived it like Sara Kunz.
She overcame a broken spine, debilitating anxiety, and literally survived for 35 days in the wild on national TV… while being stalked by crocodiles (there was a leopard, too)! Today, she combines that experience with a Master's in Counseling Psychology to teach the most effective ways to navigate stress, fear, and uncertainty.
A two-time Naked and Afraid survivalist, award-winning storyteller, and counseling intern Sara blends survival psychology, humor, and powerful storytelling to deliver a keynote audiences never forget- and tools they actually use.
Through her Roadmap to Resilience Keynote Speech, Sara teaches the 3 Zones of Survival- a simple framework to navigate stress, adapt to change, and perform under pressure without sacrificing joy.
If you want a speaker who combines real survival experience with psychology expertise, unforgettable stories with practical tools, Sara delivers both.

Outcomes:
Your team isn't burned out because they're weak- their brains evolved for short bursts of danger, not constant modern stress.
Sara gives them one simple framework to navigate it:
Zone 1: Control what's actually controllable (yourself)
Zone 2: Influence your environment by identifying resources and threats clearly
Zone 3: Connect to the big picture so challenges feel meaningful, not crushing
