Guest Information
DeAnna Couzens Keith is a resilient “perspective coach,” speaker, and author who helps women rise from trauma into healing, clarity, and freedom. Based in Kansas City, Missouri (and proudly cheering for the Chiefs), DeAnna’s life message is rooted in one powerful truth: you can choose healing even after life has tried to silence you.
A survivor of sexual assault, stroke, and spiritual abuse, DeAnna turned her pain into purpose and captured her journey in her book Choice Maker: Find Your Voice, Shape Your Life. Through DeAnna Keith LLC, she leads workshops, masterminds, retreats, and coaching experiences that help women quiet outside noise, rediscover their voice, identify core values, and build a healthier circle of influence. As a member of the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team and a facilitator specialist teaching leadership principles to groups and organizations, she blends faith, growth, and practical tools that people can apply immediately.
Beyond the stage and coaching room, DeAnna is a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo, teaching strength in mind, body, and spirit. She’s also a devoted wife to her high school sweetheart, Stan, and mom to their son Nicholas, with family as her anchor (plus a beloved dog named Taco ). DeAnna’s story and work remind others that the past may explain you, but it doesn’t define you, and with the right perspective, your next chapter can be written with courage, purpose, and hope.
