She is available for motivational, inspirational, and encouraging speeches, and will share with audiences how to learn to accept and thrive through all life’s challenges.
Mollie’s sensitive approach comes from training and from her service as a Key Volunteer for 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines from 2002 to 2004. As a Key Volunteer during this time, Mollie offered support to many wives during their husband’s war time deployments to Iraq.
Mollie Gross is a humorist and brings much of her skills as a stand up comedienne to her speech. Audiences should be prepared to laugh, cry, and think hard about the choices they make.
Mollie offers a standard 1 hour speech : which can be modified for time or a 1 hour and 20 minute interactive speech.

“I just wanted to thank Mollie for helping make this past Saturday a wonderful and memorable event for the Spouses. The feedback about the performance during the event and on the evaluations were nothing but positive and the only complaint is that it was not long enough! Mollie- You have an amazing presence that the Spouses attract to and you did an awesome job with getting the spouses involved right of way and leading the activities so they had the chances to meet and interact with each other. Thank you for being flexible with the time changes. Next year I agree with everyone else, we are going to have to make it longer.”
