Meet Remi Gibbs
Speaker | Author | Coach | Certified Positive Psychology Practitioner
Remi (Ray-Me) Gibbs helps individuals and organizations build resilience, cultivate happiness, and create more fulfilling lives through engaging keynotes, interactive workshops, transformational coaching, and her writing.
Known for her warm, conversational style and practical approach, Remi combines evidence-based positive psychology with honest storytelling and actionable strategies that help people create meaningful, lasting change. Whether she's speaking to a room full of conference attendees or sitting across from a coaching client, her goal is the same—to help people better understand themselves and intentionally create lives that align with who they truly are.
My Story
Raised by two parents struggling with alcoholism, I learned early that life doesn't always begin on solid ground. Those experiences taught me that while we can't always choose our circumstances, we can choose how we respond to them.
Years later, after navigating caregiving, burnout, career transitions, grief, and my own journey of self-discovery, I realized I wasn't alone. Through coaching clients, speaking engagements, and conversations with more than 60 women on my podcast, I kept hearing the same questions:
Who am I beyond the roles I've carried?
What do I really want?
How do I create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling?
Those questions became the foundation of Renovated Realities.
Today, my passion is helping others build resilience, cultivate happiness, and intentionally create lives filled with greater purpose, connection, and fulfillment.
My Approach
I believe lasting change doesn't come from quick fixes or motivational slogans. It comes from understanding yourself more deeply, making intentional choices, and consistently practicing habits that support the life you want to create.
My coaching and workshops blend the science of positive psychology with practical tools that people can immediately apply in their daily lives. I believe growth should feel encouraging, honest, and sustainable—not overwhelming.
People often tell me it feels like having coffee with a trusted friend who asks thoughtful questions, offers practical guidance, and genuinely wants to see them succeed and less like attending a lecture.
What I Believe
I believe...
- You are worthy of the life you desire.
- Resilience can be learned.
- Happiness isn't something we find—it's something we intentionally cultivate.
- Self-awareness is the foundation for lasting change.
- Small, consistent actions create extraordinary transformations.
- It's never too late to discover who you are and intentionally create the life you want.

Beyond the Work
When I'm not speaking, coaching, or writing, you'll probably find me exploring nature with my hubby and doggos, planning my next travel adventure, enjoying great food with friends, volunteering in my community, or savoring a good cup of coffee while dreaming about a cabin in the mountains.
Life isn't about waiting for the perfect moment. It's about intentionally creating one that feels meaningful, joyful, and authentically your own.
