ABOUT SCOTT STE MARIE
For the past decade, I’ve dedicated my work to helping people understand themselves on a deeper level. It's such a curious thing as to why we punish and push ourselves, yet are kind and compassionate to others. Our biggest fear is that we're not and will never be enough.
I’ve walked this path myself — through anxiety, depression, self-criticism, and years of feeling like I couldn’t keep up with my own expectations.
My message isn't about fixing anyone.
It’s about understanding yourself and helping people reconnect with the part of them that’s already strong, wise, grounded, and capable.
I hold a Master’s degree (MSc) in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Mental Health from King’s College London. I’ve been practicing meditation since 2008 and have been trained in Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Emotional Focusing since 2020.
KEYNOTE SPEAKING
My approach may be different from many speakers. We slow down together. I don’t push productivity, hustle, or performative “toughness.” Instead, I speak to what’s real—our inner critic, self-doubt and the quiet exhaustion so many of us carry. I blend neuroscience, mindfulness, and lived experience with depression to speak directly to the inner world we rarely talk about.
My talks help us all slow down, understand the pressures we've absorbed, reconnect with ourselves, and become more grounded, confident, compassionate people—in work, relationships, and in our own lives.
With AI emerging and constant attention given to a digital world, people are craving honest conversations, not more content and information.
If your workplace, conference, school, or community is looking for a speaker who blends neuroscience, inner-critic work and self-compassion that will truly help people feel seen, I would love to support you.
