Stella Agwor

Transforming personal pain into purpose, inspiring healing, growth & bold living through resilience & storytelling

At the age of 14, Stella lost her mother—a devastating loss that shaped her formative years. By 19, she experienced a crisis of confidence after failing an entire semester at university. But the most heartbreaking moment came on 23 April 2013, when Stella held her 16-month-old daughter, Tamara, as she took her final breath. These life-altering moments of grief and loss could have destroyed her, but instead, they became the foundation for a life devoted to healing and empowering others.

Known for her warm, relatable, and thought-provoking approach, Stella is a licensed grief therapist, author, and transformational coach who has dedicated her life to helping others transform emotional wounds into tools for growth and purpose. As an inspirational keynote speaker, she has captivated audiences with her message of hope, healing, and bold living.

Stella’s powerful keynote, "From Brokenness to Boldness: The Healing Journey to Growth and Wholeness," takes audiences on a transformative journey through four steps: healing, growth, wholeness, and courage. She shares her deeply personal story of loss while providing a practical roadmap for those navigating grief and life’s challenges. Her talks leave audiences with actionable insights to embrace their pain, rediscover their voice, and live a life of authenticity and purpose.

"Healing Conversations: Building Emotional Resilience in Leadership and Life"

Stella’s story is not just one of survival but of transformation. A healthcare professional turned tech innovator, she left a 15-year career to embrace her calling as a soul healer. She has since self-published a children’s book that has impacted over 1,000 primary school pupils, hosted healing workshops for women, and built a thriving community of individuals seeking wholeness.

Her authenticity, values-driven resilience, and actionable insights resonate with audiences from all walks of life. Whether she is speaking at corporate events, conferences, or women’s retreats, Stella’s message is clear: brokenness doesn’t have the final say—boldness does.
