Speaking
What does a candid conversation about death and dying sound like? How does voicing the pain of loss make us stronger? Instead of hiding our grief behind closed doors, what can happen if we share it with the world? What does death have to teach us about how to live a meaningful life?

Testimonials
“Captain Scott B and the Great Adventure drew one of the largest community audiences our lecture and film series has ever seen. The documentary artfully and patiently leads viewers through filmmaker Betsy Bertram's grief and search for peace after the too-soon death of her father. Many viewers stayed to thank Betsy for her honest approach to confronting loss and sorrow -- and Betsy in turn listened empathetically to their stories of loss. The evening was cathartic.” - Tracy Mancini, President, Carteret Community College
“Betsy Bertram is a gifted storyteller. She shows up with warmth, humor, honesty and an innate ability to connect to the audience and meet them where they’re at. Her insights on everything from grief and resilience to nature and healing are pure poetry… and the antidote to living in these crazy times.” - Erin Essenmacher, Founder, Feisty Aphrodite Media
