Professional Bio

Dr. Cristi Bundukamara, "Dr. B," Ed.D, PMHNP-BC, is the only clinically trained speaker teaching executives, founders, and high-performance teams to build mental capacity as a trained system. It is not therapy and not a mindset hack. Audiences leave with a repeatable method for staying clear, steady, and effective when pressure doesn't let up. She is the creator of The Mentally STRONG Method.

Signature keynotes:
- How Elite Performers Build Capacity When They Can't Shrink Their Problems
- Built, Not Born: The Skills-Acquisition Model for Unshakeable Confidence Under Pressure
- Load-Bearing Leadership: The Science of Working at Capacity Without Breaking

Dr. B has spent 25+ years in psychiatric clinical practice and has helped more than 7,000 people. She began as a U.S. Army medic at 17, serving on active duty including overseas. She was then commissioned in the U.S. Navy Reserve, served 16 more years, and retired as a Commander. She founded Mentally STRONG Clinic and Mentally STRONG Academy in Colorado Springs, was recognized by Forbes as a Top Entrepreneur, and is featured in the award-winning documentary Strength in Vulnerability. After losing multiple children and her husband, she lives the method she teaches. Her enterprise clients include Johnson & Johnson, Bristol Myers Squibb, Alkermes, AbbVie, and Otsuka.

Formats: keynote or workshop, 45-90 minutes, for 50-5,000 attendees.
