Meet Our Speakers

Deanna Morae

Deanna is the ReZENergize Sanctuary on Indy’s Northside. Known as The Shine Coach, she helps people feel their best inside and out.

Sarah Kendrick

While assisting her family in the aftermath of her grandmothers’ passing, Sarah recognized the profound need for care and support during the bereavement process. This realization led her to establish RHEA Services, a heartfelt endeavor aimed at assisting other families in the delicate task of honoring their loved ones’ legacies. After guiding other families through this challenging period, she uncovered another critical need – the importance of gathering essential information in advance.

Sarah’s mission is to empower individuals to proactively collect and organize necessary information to avoid the frantic search for critical details during difficult times. Since its inception in 2020, RHEA Services has developed three comprehensive books and streamlined processes tailored to assist Families, Small Business Owners, and Caregivers in this essential preparation. In addition, Sarah has had the privilege of being featured on numerous podcasts and engaging with various groups to share her expertise.

Beyond her professional commitments, Sarah finds solace in quality time with her husband, Kevin, and their two beloved dogs, Milo and Hazel. She has a deep passion for reading, creating music, and cherishing moments with her extensive extended family.​​

Kara Long

I grew up in a little historical town called Irvington east of Indianapolis, and now I work out of my century-old childhood home with my husband, two cats, and two rescue doggos. When I am not developing The Memory Collective, I’m working on my fantasy fiction series, playing an instrument and singing, taking lots of photos and videos (mostly of my animals and of cool nature things), planning the details of our next travel destination, studying mindset, and learning something new every day. I’m a casual gamer, novice philosopher, and aspiring athlete (as in, I’d love to be athletic, but that’s a work in progress). I love watching basketball and football, and I’m a sucker for watching the X-games. I do what I can to fight for equality, human rights, conservation, and the planet. I strive to be a better version of myself every day. I have a BS in Music Technology where I studied digital music composition, music theory, and audio recording; a BS in Media Arts and Science from IUPUI in Indianapolis where I specialized in Photoshop and 3D modeling; and a lifetime of experience of being curious, kind, objective, and sympathetic. The people who know me best—or casually, for that matter—would tell you I’m super easy to talk to.
