Dr. Tricia Pingel has lived every side of the perfectionism cycle — and she brings the medical science, the real talk, and the radical permission your audience has been waiting for.
The Question That Changes Everything
What Am I Modeling?
Simple enough to remember. Powerful enough to change behavior.
She was a fashion model who discovered the most important thing she was modeling wasn’t clothes — it was behavior.
As a naturopathic physician, she has the science to prove it.
The Power of the Shift
“Am I good enough?” becomes “What am I teaching others about being enough?”
“How do I fix myself?” becomes “What behaviors am I unconsciously passing on?”
“I have to keep going” becomes “What message does my burnout send?”
The Result?
They stop performing their life and start living it.
The Audiences
The “What Am I Modeling?” message resonates across generations—because we’re all teaching someone how to handle stress, success, and self-worth through our behavior.
CORPORATE & PROFESSIONAL WOMEN
Perfect for: Women’s ERGs, professional associations, leadership conferences, financial and sales teams
They’ve hit the milestones. They’re still exhausted. High-achieving women don’t burn out from lack of ambition — they burn out from proving their worth on repeat. Dr. Pingel brings the medical science behind why perfectionism creates the exact chaos it’s trying to prevent, and the permission your audience has been waiting for to lead differently.
They leave with: A framework that interrupts the proving cycle — and the biological proof that letting go isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom.
HEALTHCARE & MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
Perfect for: Hospital systems, medical associations, healthcare entrepreneurs, clinical leadership retreats
They know exactly what they should do. They can’t do it for themselves. Healthcare professionals are among the most burned out people in any room — and the most resistant to admitting it. Dr. Pingel speaks their language as a fellow physician who collapsed from adrenal fatigue while treating it in others. No judgment. Just recognition, science, and a way forward.
They leave with: Permission — from someone who’s been there — to make their own wellbeing non-negotiable.
UNIVERSITIES & SCHOLAR PROGRAMS
Perfect for: Freshman orientations, women’s leadership programs, mental health awareness weeks, scholar and honors programs
They’re achieving everything and feeling nothing. Gen Z is the most anxious, most high-performing, most self-doubting generation in history — and they’re exhausted from performing a version of themselves they don’t even recognize. Dr. Pingel meets them where they are: no toxic positivity, no empty motivation. Just real science, real stories, and real permission to stop performing their life.
They leave with: A question that replaces comparison and self-doubt with purpose — What am I modeling?
WELLNESS EVENTS & RETREATS
Perfect for: Wellness retreats, spa and lifestyle events, integrative health conferences, women’s wellness gatherings
Joy isn’t a reward. It’s medicine. For audiences already on a wellness journey, Dr. Pingel takes it deeper — into the neuroscience of why chronic stress undermines everything they’re working toward, and why authentic joy is the most powerful prescription they’re not taking.
They leave with: The science behind joy as medicine and a personal framework for sustainable wellbeing.
Why Dr. Pingel is Different
She’s Not Your Typical Wellness Speaker
Most speakers talk about work-life balance from one perspective. Dr. Pingel has lived all sides of burnout: high-performer, healer, mother, caregiver, grieving daughter—navigating devastating loss and complete identity reconstruction while trying to look perfect on the outside. That’s exactly what makes her message impossible to ignore.
