make your personal story a profitable brand | i help high-potential women understand & share their stories to effortlessly sell themselves & their work | +15 years building brands for NBA All-Stars, founders, VCs | ADHD

i was broke for 8 years. had my card declined buying medicine for my toddler. lost $80K when my tech startup failed. now...


i help overthinking high-achievers turn their "mess" into money.

because after 11 jobs in 8 industries, i discovered something nobody talks about

your weird career path? 
your brain that won't shut off?
that thing everyone says makes you "too much"?

that's not your weakness. that's your f*cking edge.

listen, most "personal brand experts" want you to pick a lane. follow a formula. sound like everyone else.

meanwhile... 


you can't explain what you do in one sentence.
"just be authentic" makes you think, "but how??"
and you've got 47 drafts in your notes app that you'll never publish.

i get it. because that was me. 

which is my i turned the way i think and work into a methodology that could help more people than just me. 

through StoryEQ™, i help you:
• turn your overthinking into strategic advantage
• build a brand that actually feels like you AND makes money
• stop "performing professionalism" and start being profitable
• decode your story to find what actually makes you different (hint: it's in the mess)

my clients? NBA All-Stars. Olympians. VCs. Artists.

Founders who've raised $30 million.
Artists who sold $300K of art in 72 hours. 
Creators who went from "I can't monetize" to 
"it's hard to express how much opportunity is crossing my desk these days"

they don't hire me because they need confidence.
they hire me because they're sick of being overlooked despite knowing deep down that they have more to offer. 

fair warning(s): 

i swear. a lot.
i'll call out your bullsh*t (lovingly).
i don't do "mindset work" without strategy.
and if you're afraid of Queer people? we're not a fit.

Working in the space between stories | Dad to Neurodivergent Son | Twin Daughters | Narratologist

Most change doesn’t announce itself as a crisis.

It shows up as a quiet misalignment. Things still work, but they no longer quite fit.

That’s the space I work in.

I help people orient themselves inside moments of change.
Not to reinvent who they are or perform a better version of it, but to locate where they actually are before deciding what comes next.

This work began with individuals.
Executives, founders, and leaders who sensed that the stories they were operating inside no longer matched the reality they were navigating.

Over time, it became clear that the same condition exists inside companies.

Organizations reach inflection points where strategy still functions, performance still looks fine, but the underlying narrative has drifted. Teams are executing inside containers that no longer reflect the world they’re operating in.

That’s where I do my most durable work.

I partner with companies to:
	•	Re-orient strategic narratives during periods of growth, disruption, or transition
	•	Clarify category position when familiar language no longer lands
	•	Align leadership, culture, and direction when performance outpaces meaning

This is not branding in the cosmetic sense.
It’s narrative infrastructure. The work beneath messaging, positioning, and change initiatives that determines whether they actually hold.

Alongside this, I work directly with executives through ShiftStory™, a disciplined, human process for orienting inside personal and professional change before decisions harden.

The two are inseparable.
Companies don’t shift unless leaders do.
Leaders don’t shift unless they feel safe enough to tell the truth about where they are.

I’m less interested in scale than in accuracy.
Less interested in telling people or companies who they should become than in helping them hear what’s already true.

If something here resonates with you, you don’t need to agree with it. You only need to notice it.

That’s usually enough to know whether a conversation would be useful. Most of my work enters through leadership and scales through the organization.
