but from a life fully lived.
Mentor · Founder, Choose to Be Restored
Into Purpose
Celeste Ducharme has spent over three decades doing one thing exceptionally well — meeting people where they are and helping them move forward. An entrepreneur, international best-selling author, and the founder of Choose to Be Restored, she brings hard-earned wisdom, deep compassion, and the kind of honesty that moves rooms.
Her work has impacted thousands of women and organizations. From recovery centers to community stages and corporate spaces where leadership meets real life — Celeste speaks not from theory, but from a life fully lived. She carries both the weight and the hope of that experience into every engagement.
She is the founder of Choose to Be Restored, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women through mentorship, community, and transformational experiences. Her speaking work is an extension of that mission — and every engagement helps carry it forward.
"Celeste has a rare ability to draw strength out of women who feel broken and powerless. She helps them see value and possibility where there was none before."— Sheila York
Celeste's speaking engagements directly support Choose to Be Restored — a nonprofit committed to making healing accessible to every woman who needs it, at no cost to participants.
Celeste is available for keynotes, workshops, corporate training, and media appearances. All engagements are positioned as charitable contributions to Choose to Be Restored and may be tax-deductible.
