Live the Story You Want to Be Telling
As a writing coach and creative guide, I spend my days helping clients step into the full light of their personal leadership and service callings by evolving their small businesses, developing their writing or leadership identities, strategizing how to write their first books, or amplify the impact of their authentic voices.
How We Got Here
The words we choose and the stories that we tell shape a large part of what our future becomes: collectively, as a community, and individually, as souls.
When I realized that I was not living the story I wanted to be telling, I took drastic action. Ever since quitting my career path in politics and public service in 2009, I’ve published 5 books, traveled the world, taught classes and workshops to over 5,000 students, and worked with over 300 creative entrepreneurs on their paths of self-realization.
