Speaking
Bring Brain Energy to your audience.
Keynote presentations and workshops that give people a practical framework for understanding cognitive overload — and the tools to do something about it.
The Message
Your audience isn't struggling because they're not trying hard enough.
They're struggling because no one has explained what's actually happening in their brain. Carrie Rae's presentations translate complex neuroscience into language that resonates — leaving audiences with a clear framework, practical strategies, and a renewed sense of possibility. No fear-based messaging. No motivational clichés. Just honest, evidence-informed insight that people can use the same day.
Speaking Topics
Topics that meet people where they are.
Brain Energy: Your Most Valuable Resource
An introduction to the concept of brain energy — what it is, why it's finite, and how understanding it changes everything about how we approach work, relationships, and daily life.
Decision Fatigue and the Cost of Choosing
Every decision draws from the same cognitive reserve. This session explores how decision fatigue accumulates, why it affects performance and wellbeing, and how to design environments that protect decision-making capacity.
Cognitive Overload: When the Brain Hits Its Limit
What happens when brain energy runs out — and why it looks different for everyone. Practical strategies for recognizing overload early and intervening before it compounds.

Burnout isn't a character flaw — it's a brain energy crisis. This session reframes burnout through the lens of cognitive capacity and offers a sustainable framework for prevention.
