You’re a quiet rebel, a savvy business owner making moves. The world knows you’re good at what you do.
YOU know you’re BRILLIANT.
But when you open Instagram or Mailchimp to share your work — you go blank. Inspiration gives way to fear. You feel a little lost, a lot overwhelmed, and exhausted AF from trying to do All. The. Things. you THINK you have to do to grow.
If you hear one more self-proclaimed 'online expert' say, "just tell your Story!" you're gonna lose it.
What does that even MEAN? Where do you even START? Why does this feel so HARD?
I see you, biz bestie. And I’ve got you.
But if you’re being honest … nothing feels further from reality.
Instead, you’re having thoughts like:
➡️ “I don’t have a Story to tell. Why would anyone care what I have to say?”
➡️ “Ugh, telling my Story means airing my dirty laundry. No thanks.”
➡️ “I know I should post on social so I open my phone, upload a generic quote and call it a day.”
➡️ “I’ve literally tried everything to get aligned in my business and nothing seems to click.”
➡️ “I just need a better content strategy and help to organize my systems.”
And starting without a Story strategy is like trying to jump hurdles from a standstill. You’re gonna trip.
Why? Because your content strategy is a tactic ... it’s only as good as the platform or tool it’s built on. It’s polished to look like you’re only made of superficial good.
It’s a principle … more full, more holistic. It lasts longer and withstands shifts in tactics and the market. Stories create a lasting connection. Embody the good and the bad. Dark and light.
You’re struggling because there’s a critical piece of the puzzle you’re not digging into and using to shine.
Your Story Strategy is a guiding force behind all you do.
It’s truly how YOU show up with confidence, clarity ... and giving zero f**cks.
The Simple Story Solution is for female entrepreneurs who feel like they don’t have a Story to tell but whose brilliance longs to be unleashed.
It’s a robust and crazy soulful process that lays the practical foundation for showing up, creating deeper connections with your customers & clients, and building your business, your way.

✓ Stop “checking all the boxes” and feeling exhausted at the end of every damn day

✓ Stop pushing and start magnetizing dream clients with ease
✓ Break up with being booked out but not charging your true worth

Story has been my constant companion my whole life. Between my grandmother - a librarian and my dad - a journalist, the concept of Story was everywhere *safe* for me.
She (as I like to refer to Story) is an embodiment of a person. I FEEL her presence. I SEE her in others.
When I work with my 1:1 clients to unearth their Stories, they tell me they find refuge in what we discover about them. They start to feel stable. Safe. They get in touch with the soul they haven’t been leveraging.
The Simple Story Solution is my soul. It’s my whole, deep process for helping YOU see, believe, and use the Story within.
This is EVERYTHING I use to help my clients start to create impact, resonance, and relevance so they can form meaningful connections with their customers and clients.

• You’re looking for shiny checklists & templates. If you just want to get clicks and likes and become Insta-famous ... Mamma, that is not my style. The Stories you’ll uncover are yours alone. There’s nothing cookie-cutter about this program.
• You want someone to tell you what to post when. No content strategy calendars here, friend. But even better than that? Where I’m going to guide you, you won’t need a content calendar. Because we are going to give you the gift of a Story lens, so you’ll always be able to see and tell the Story.
• You aren’t ready to own your brilliance. If you know you’re brilliant, but you aren’t ready to show up and shine, then there’s some inner work to be done. This program is designed to guide you to that brilliance so you can see it, feel it and embody it in the Stories you confidently tell.
But if you’re legit done playing small and you’re bursting to show up as a leader in your life and business … I’ve got you.
