Our speakers
KIAH TWISSELMAN BURCHETT better known as Coach Kiah, is a California cattle rancher turned international motivational speaker on a mission to empower others to love themselves deeper, care for themselves better, and find joy in this messy, beautiful journey of life. If she looks familiar you may have seen her on the Kelly Clarkson show, Good Morning America or on the cover of People Magazine. We're very excited to have Kiah come to Vermont!
Kayla Josefiak is a Certified Christian Mental Health and Life Coach who utilizes Biblical scripture and positive habit change to coach her clients all over the world. Raised in agriculture, Kayla found inspiration in her family's cattle ranch and continues to be inspired by her life on the farm now. Despite initially pursuing a teaching career, she has since embraced farm wife life; putting God, her husband, her kids, and the farm before anything else.
Kayla sees coaching and speaking as a deeper exploration of oneself and faith. Kayla’s keynote, “Your Struggle Has Purpose,” will share a brief portion of her testimony, provides tactile tools to help you alleviate stress in your day-to-day life, and will walk you through how God is willing to meet you right where you are.
Kayla helps remind us to read our Bible and ask for God's help in everything. Fun fact, Kayla has never been to Vermont and is excited to see our beautiful state.

What should I bring or wear?
You only need to bring yourself. Come as you are and wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Fall in Vermont usually means jeans and a flannel top! Layers are always a great idea.
