Welcome!

I’m Danielle Ripley-Burgess, an experienced communications professional, published author, and inspirational speaker.

Communications

For over two decades, I’ve worked alongside organizations that want to make a difference. I've worked on high-profile campaigns and award-winning projects that were a part of both print and digital campaigns. I specialize in turning complex topics into clear, engaging messages, and building a communications strategy focused on your goals and what your audience needs. Plus, I'm all about teamwork and strive to work alongside teams to boost morale and improve communication.

My communications consulting work includes:

• Patient education and storytelling: Simplifying complex medical topics and telling stories for impact
• Freelance PR: Securing media coverage, media training, messaging/talking points
• SEO writing: Creating online content that can be found online
• Freelance editing/writing: Creating and reviewing content for brochures, emails, flyers, magazines, and more
• Martech: Consulting on CRMs, email marketing, project management, and other strategic communications tools

Author

I am a 20-year cancer survivor, wife, and adoptive mom whose life events would make a great reality series or scripted drama. I write and speak to offer stories of hope and share how my faith has survived everything life’s thrown at me. 

My weekly devotional, Faith that Survives, sends inspiration and encouragement to your inbox every Monday morning.

Inspirational Speaker

Drawing on all the tough stuff life's thrown my way, I encourage audiences to find resilience for their own life challenges. Whether I'm addressing nonprofits, associations, conferences, or Christian gatherings, I bring authenticity, humor, and hope. I encourage people to keep going no matter what life throws at them. 

Speaking Topics include:

• Resilience & Facing Adversity: Finding light in the darkest times
• Health & Wellness: Caring for body, stress management, healing, trauma
• Faith & Inspiration: Wrestling with doubt, keeping the faith, and finding hope
• Family & Relationships: Infertility, adoption, and foster care
• Body Image & Confidence: Encouraging tween and teen girls (based on my book Blush)
• Patient Advocate: I'm a 20+ year colorectal cancer survivor first dx at age 17, and I have Lynch syndrome
