Giving a good speech means being interesting, informative, and conversational when speaking to your audience. One way to make your talk more relatable is to speak about a subject that really matters to you. And in doing so, there is nothing wrong with including an anecdote or an example from your own life. (Of course, unless the speech is about you, it is not a good idea to ONLY use examples from your own life. But it is perfectly acceptable to personalize a speech by including a story or an example of something that happened to you. Just make sure you stick to your main point and don't let your story go on for too long.)
Often, drawing upon your own experiences can enhance your research; when you can apply the findings of the experts to your own real-life experiences, it reinforces what those experts have said. Using a personal anecdote or example shows the audience that you are familiar with the topic, and that there is credible research that supports what you have experienced.
