Five Steps to Share Hope from Your Story

This will shift how you see your story in 10 pages.

Five Steps to Share Hope from Your Story isn’t about perfection, having “more material,” or getting it "right." It’s about identifying the most important pieces and learning why they matter. That way, you can connect with your audience and support them.

As you work through the steps, you’ll begin to see your experiences differently. I teach two simple principles that will change how you understand your story. Suddenly, it stops being scattered memories and random details. The next thing you know, it's transformed into something that will truly inspire others.

From Memory to Meaning

Your story isn’t unclear… it’s just unprocessed.

In this live, 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn how to identify the moments that matter and begin turning them into content that connects you to your audience.

This isn’t a class on how to write more effectively. It’s about gaining the clarity you need to finally understand your message and how to use it. I explain how to take your experiences and start shaping them into clear, meaningful content with real-life, in-the-moment examples from class participants.

Includes: 1 Printable PDF (8.5" x 11") of Five Steps to Share Hope from Your Story; 90 minutes of live teaching that focuses on exercises to uncover the key details of your story, identify the patterns that cause them, and figure out what to do with what you discovered; Q & A; plus participants will get my help refining their story LIVE.

1:1 Coaching:

"Ohhh... That's Why!"

I used to think I was confused. Turns out I was stuck: overlearning, starting, freezing, rewriting. I wasn’t broken. I was missing the structure I needed to understand what I experienced. You too?

If you're like me, you already know there’s something in your story that matters. You’ve felt it. You’ve tried to put it into words… but it hasn’t quite come out the way you wanted. This is where that changes. Together, we can take what you’ve lived and turn it into something you can finally share with clarity and confidence.

My 1:1 coaching is a private, high-touch experience for women who are ready to fully engage in the process of transforming their story.

The Writing Life Checklist

You don't need more willpower or motivation, you need clarity to know what matters.

Writers usually have more ideas than time to write. Often, they struggle because they're trying to juggle too many things without a vision or plan. The Writing Life Checklist is a simple way to cut through the chaos.

I created a set of practical checklists to help you focus on the important aspects of writing so you can stop overthinking and start putting effort where it matters most. This is a practical reset for writers who feel scattered or overwhelmed by all the moving pieces.

Includes: 1 Printable PDF (8.5" x 11") containing 3 structured checklists; approximately 20-minutes of video with practical application, ideas for implementation, clear direction without overwhelm, and lots of encouragement.

Writer's Toolkit:

Ten Things Writers Need to Know

This doesn’t just tell you what you need to know, it helps you figure out where you stand.

Most writers aren’t stuck because they don’t know enough. They’re stuck because they’ve never been guided through what they already have and how to use it.

This contains ten essential truths about writing, plus guided questions and exercises to help you understand your own path as a writer.

 Includes: 1 - 14 Page Printable PDF (8.5" x 11") with focused insights, clear explanations you can apply immediately, a grounded view of life, writing, and growth, along with 6 pages of coaching questions, journaling prompts, and exercises to help you put what you learned into practice.

Valuable Affiliate Resources:

If you're going to tell your story, not only do you need to know it, you need a reliable platform to share it on and legal documents to keep everyone who uses it safe. It doesn't hurt to have a few credentials to support yourself and your audience. Or proven tools to help.

Each link below pays me a commission if you make a purchase at any of these sites.

Kajabi

Hands down, Kajabi is the simplest online platform I have ever used. I've been building websites since 1997 and worked with a bit of everything. I got tired of having one piece of my site here, another there, and juggling a third and forth somewhere else. Kajabi has integrated email, automations, ecommerce, digital product hosting, built in coaching tools, and ease of use. One price per package, not twelve random bills. I'm a #kajabihero for life.  Get a 30-day free trial from Kajabi to build your website and tell your story → here.

Plainly Legal

If you plan to do anything online, you need to protect yourself legally. Not only are you required to have terms of service, privacy policies, and disclaimers for your website, you need contracts for your digital products, classes, workshops, coaching, the services your provide, and the people you hire. For most folks, especially me, that's a nightmare. Enter: Bobby Klinck.

I met Bobby in one of the courses we took together several years back. It turns out he's not your average Harvard Law grad. He's down to earth and began offering legal and marketing insight in words normal people understand.

Bobby originally created the Online Genius Template Library, but decided to make it even more user friendly by turning it into Plainly Legal. Having his templates and advice in place for my business, for far less an investment than hiring a local lawyer, has given me so much peace of mind. Protect your online presence today.

Transformation Academy

I started coaching and consulting in 1994 as a naturopath. In 2020, I decided I needed some type of official coaching certification. I wanted a program that had recognized accreditation but didn't require classroom time or a lengthy mentorship since I had so much prior experience. Transformation Academy fit my requirements.

I've completed almost twenty of their certifications and programs, and loved every minute. Their basic coaching courses are solid, and the programs they've added in the last two years fill in the frustrating gaps I noticed in their course catalog. Learn the skills you need to take your story to the next level.

Scrivener

I discovered Scrivener at a writer's conference in the early 2000s. There is nothing like it to organize your clips, book projects, courses, or email campaigns and website copy. I also use it to build my KDP eBooks. It automatically creates the navigation hyperlinks when the structure is set up correctly.

Scrivener comes in multiple platforms. There is a learning curve, but the tutorial makes it easy. They offer a 30 days of use (not 30 calendar days) free trial so you can get your feet wet before you decide to purchase it. Best of all, there is no monthly fee or subscription. Organize your projects like a pro. Learn more about Scrivener → here.
