Hi, I’m Judy Davis
Motivational Speaker, Author, Mental Health Advocate, Veteran Spouse Caregiver and Sometimes I Paint
The Woman Behind DavisInspired
Hello! I'm Judy Davis, founder of DavisInspired.com, and I'm on a mission to help you move from merely saying "I'm fine" to genuinely feeling "never better." As a motivational speaker, published author, mental health mentor, and resilience trainer, I've dedicated my life to helping others navigate life's challenges and discover their true potential.
My Story
My journey began like many others—saying "I'm fine" when I was anything but fine. As a military spouse, I mastered the art of holding everything together while slowly losing myself in the process.
Then my world was turned upside down when my husband Geoff suffered life-altering injuries in an explosion while serving in the US Army. His above-knee amputation, TBI, and other injuries forced us to confront a new reality where "I'm fine" was no longer even remotely true.
This trauma became my awakening. Through rebuilding our lives together, I discovered that life's most difficult challenges can become our greatest catalysts for transformation. I found my calling in helping others navigate their own times of crisis and transition.
My Approach
I believe in raw, authentic connection. No sugar-coating, no toxic positivity—just honest conversation about life's challenges and practical strategies to overcome them. My approach combines:
Emotional resilience training
Stress management techniques
Holistic wellness practices
Creative self-expression
Practical life strategies that actually work
Whether I'm speaking to military spouses, midlife women, small business owners, or students, my message remains consistent: you have the power to transform your challenges into stepping stones for growth.
My Professional Journey
My work has taken me across the country as a keynote speaker at over 45 Military Spouse events, universities including Texas Tech and the University of Michigan, and organizations ranging from USAA to the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. I've been honored as Fort Carson Military Spouse of the Year and received the Dove Real Beauty Award.
As an author, my books include "Right Side Up: Find Your Way When Military Life Turns You Upside Down" and "Warning Signs: Is Your Teen at Risk for Depression, Addiction and Suicide." I'm also the co-founder of DASIUM, a brand leading the way in depression, addiction, and suicide prevention in teens and young adults.
My Personal Philosophy
I believe that every challenge brings an opportunity for growth. My family's motto—"Life happens, live creative"—guides everything I do. I've learned that real transformation happens when we stop merely surviving and start intentionally creating the life we desire.
Let's Connect
If you're ready to move beyond "I'm fine" and discover what "never better" truly feels like, I'm here to light your way forward. Through speaking engagements, mentoring programs, and resources here at DavisInspired.com, I'm committed to walking alongside you on your journey to authentic fulfillment.
The extraordinary life you deserve is waiting. Let's take that first step together.
