Some of Dr. Hill’s Keynote presentations include:
The XX Rules: Leading by Your Own Design
Leadership isn’t about fitting into a model built for men—it’s about leveraging the strengths of the female blueprint. This keynote introduces The XX Rules, a revolutionary framework that empowers women to lead, create, and succeed on their own terms.
Why Medicine Keeps Failing Women—and What Needs to Change
For decades, health research has treated the male body as the default and the female body as a deviation to be controlled, silenced, or fixed. The result? Women are underdiagnosed, overmedicated, and told their symptoms are “normal” when they are anything but. This talk unpacks how sex-blind research created a healthcare system that routinely fails women—and why many well-intentioned “solutions” have actually made things worse. Most importantly, it offers a roadmap for how women can advocate for themselves in medical settings that were never designed with their bodies in mind, reclaiming trust in their biology and power in their care.
The Burnout Trap: Escaping the Curse of “Having It All”
Modern women are told they can “do it all”—but at what cost? This keynote unmasks the hidden social traps fueling stress and burnout, offering science-backed strategies to reclaim energy, joy, and balance without losing ambition.
When Hormones Change the Brain: The Overlooked Effects of Female Biology and Birth Control
Hormones do not simply regulate reproduction—they shape the brain and the rest of the body. This keynote explores how fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone affect neural circuits involved in mood, motivation, and stress, and how times of hormonal change and hormonal birth control can fundamentally alter this system. Aimed at physicians and mental health professionals, the talk exposes critical gaps in how women’s symptoms are evaluated, why hormone-related distress is often misunderstood, and how integrating hormonal context can improve diagnosis, treatment, and patient trust.
Fail Better: Why Doubt and Setbacks Are the Secret to Success
Self-doubt and failure aren’t signs you’re off track—they’re the raw materials of greatness. This keynote reframes struggle as fuel for growth, showing how to harness setbacks as stepping stones to resilience, confidence, and true achievement.
Dr. Hill is also able to customize a presentation based on the needs of your event or organization.

She has the ability to attach warmth and levity to topics that are deep, academic, and sometimes heavy. In addition to her efficacy as a presenter and leader, she’s truly a joy to work with. Kind, engaging, and generous with her time. Our guests loved her and I genuinely hope to work with her in the future.
“Dr. Sarah Hill stands out among talented researchers for her rare ability to translate complex science on hormones, fertility, and their impact on our lives socially and emotionally into clear, compelling insights for a broad audience. She communicates with precision, energy, and practical focus, making challenging topics both accessible and actionable. I have invited Dr. Hill to speak at large, popular-level events in Washington, DC, as well as to brief medical experts, and in both settings, she excelled in her ability to contextualize her work inspire and resonate with the audience. Dr. Hill’s work bridges rigorous research and real-world impact, equipping audiences to be informed and advance practical policy solutions. It’s not just a “bikini” issue; her work speaks to the heart of who we are as men and women by equipping us with the knowledge we need to thrive.
“Sarah E. Hill brings exceptional depth and clarity to the complex neurological and hormonal processes that influence women’s health and performance. We had the pleasure of working with her on a webinar that connected the use of the Mira at-home hormone monitor with key principles from her book, The Period Brain.
Dr. Hill seamlessly translated scientific research into practical, real-world applications, expanding on the concepts in her work and adapting them for meaningful clinical relevance. She highlighted important gaps in women’s health research and underscored the need for more personalized, data-driven approaches to women’s care.
Her ability to bridge theory with actionable clinical insights made the session both highly engaging and impactful for practitioners using Mira in their clinical practice.”
“Sarah Hill addressed PhD students’ and scientists’ greatest unspoken fear – failure – with insight, honesty, and humour. A memorable day for 500 PhD students at the medical faculty, Aarhus University.”
