“With joy for life and inner strength through tough life crises?
Yes, it’s possible!”
Do you know that feeling when the ground is pulled out from under your feet? Suddenly you are in the middle of i a crisis and ask yourself: What Now?
I’ve experienced situations like these over and over again – and through them, I’ve developed a deep expertise in inner strength over the years. In my talks, as a mentor, and through my podcast, I support people not just in getting through crises, but in maintaining their joy for life and ultimately growing from the experience.
I am authentic, humorous, and full of zest for life – but I also know what physical and mental breakdown feels like. I stand for genuineness, gratitude, and optimism – not as a naive attitude, but as a conscious choice to actively face life challenges.

What others say about Carolin
How time flies. The Department of Vascular Surgery at the University Hospital Zurich has now been in existence for over five years. We marked this milestone with a small symposium.
One of the highlights was the talk given by Carolin Oder, the mother of one of our patients. She is now a professional speaker and delivered a powerful and moving presentation on the challenges faced by families of patients with connective tissue disorders.
“We were delighted to welcome Carolin Oder as a speaker at our International Symposium in London. With her inspiring and engaging presence, Carolin shared her family’s story and offered valuable insights to more than 200 participants on how to navigate profound crises.
Her energy and charm, combined with powerful music, evoked a wide range of emotions — from heartfelt laughter to deeply moving moments.
After a full day of medical presentations, Carolin brought a fresh perspective and emotional depth that truly resonated with the audience.”
“To be honest, Carolin’s speech was the absolute highlight of the day. She spoke with such strength and inspiration and shared a message I will never forget!”
“Ms. Oder captivates with her energy, openness, and compelling storytelling – without evoking pity or placing a burden on the audience. Her seven approaches are applicable to all areas of life and inspired me to reflect on my own mindset.”
“I’ve seen many speakers in action, but no one compares to Carolin. From the moment she stepped on stage, she captivated the audience — not just with her words, but with her energy and genuine passion. Carolin’s ability to move people emotionally is remarkable, and what truly set her apart was the way she engaged the entire room. She doesn’t just give a talk; she creates an experience.”
“The keynote was the perfect start to our event. In just 30 minutes, Ms. Oder not only shared her approaches to dealing with high levels of uncertainty, but also inspired our employees to continue the conversation afterwards. We would book Ms. Oder for a talk again at any time. Keep up the great work, Ms. Oder!”
“I had the pleasure of experiencing Carolin on stage. Her genuine presence and positive attitude toward life are truly contagious. Despite the many obstacles life has placed in her path, she continues on with optimism, staying true to her own seven tips for living with uncertainty.”
