Charles Tupper | Speaker Bio
Charles Tupper is a trauma-informed speaker, coach, veteran, and survivor who is on a mission to break the silence around abuse, especially among men. With a voice forged through pain, healing, and purpose, Charles delivers powerful keynotes and workshops that challenge stigma, ignite courage, and inspire real change.
As the founder of Courageous Warrior LLC, Charles helps male survivors of abuse reclaim their identity, develop emotional strength, and build healthier relationships. His approach blends lived experience with professional insight, offering deeply relatable stories, practical tools, and a message of hope for those navigating trauma, recovery, and growth.
Charles's journey began long before the titles. As a child, he was the target of repeated physical and emotional abuse in a home ruled by fear. That early trauma was followed by nearly three decades in an emotionally abusive marriage, where silence became survival. But in the aftermath of two divorces and the loss of a fiancée, Charles chose healing. He began a transformation from surviving to thriving, supported by a healthy, loving relationship with his wife, Terrina. With her encouragement, he stepped into his purpose—sharing his story and guiding others to reclaim theirs.
Today, Charles is the Courageous Warrior Coach—a speaker, coach, and soon-to-be author who equips men and couples with the tools to heal, communicate, and thrive. His workshops and keynotes go beyond awareness to offer empowerment, showing audiences what it looks like to rise from pain into purpose. Whether addressing a room of survivors, professionals, or couples, Charles brings honesty, insight, and strength that moves people toward action.
