Thinking about the fact that Directing someone's story for the stage or in interviews is so personal. And it's such an honor that I am trusted with so many unique and personal stories.
I never thought when I was completing my Master's degree in Spiritual Psychology back in 2001 that the tools I learned there would not only heal me to my core (that's why I went), allowing me to let love into my life again after the trauma I experienced (losing my family in one night) but that these very tools would help me expand open my creativity, help me to love myself with the self-honoring decisions I was making but also that I'd be able to tune into my clients stories i (life stories, energy, etc) n an intuitive way and in a way that helped them access their inner strength and bold creativity.
Hey, I'm from Brooklyn where things were loud- and tough- it was NOT where I nurtured or even was aware of my own inner guidance system and my sensitive side.
I didn't know that when I was putting together my one-woman show- out of a need to be heard, seen and express my truth and my talent- and putting myself on stages and facing reviews before I was ready -
I didn't know I was making the mistakes I was (not knowing how to command an audience, being in my head, not understanding story structure how to take risks on stage) and then learning how to correct them was going to lead to me having the honor of pulling the deepest, most incredible stories out of my clients and into existence in a way that uplifts,moves deeply and heals the storytellers and their listeners at the same time.
I am inspired everyday by the depth of my clients and their courage and their creativity.
I am thankful that along the way I lived in Sedona (a very spiritual place), attended multiple silent retreats, became a prayer chaplain for Unity Church ...and well, surrendered to what Spirit wanted me to do...
Hold the energy of Truth, Creativity, Play, Strength
I have facilitated dozens of group workshops and trainings and I am grateful. I love what students and clients learn from each other.
Community is important.
And I am especially lit up right now- working one on one with clients because so much magic happens in the spaciousness of those sessions
Maybe it's because they have skin in the game, they are ready, they're hungry, they're open, they've said YES to themselves in a BIG way.
I guess you could say my ask of my one-on-one storytelling clients is BIG because I see their BIGNESS. I see their HEART. I feel how resilient they are.
And I am unafraid of holding a space for them to go deep...because when my father killed my mom...the only way for me to heal was to face my pain and get help. I went dark. I went deep....
I beleive how deep we go- is how light and high we can soar.
When i didn't face my stories- I felt swallowed up by them
(And by no means am I saying we have to face everything or share everything. I trust everyone to make wise decisions for themselves and get the support they need)
I went to therapists and past life regressionists and to a chord cutter and for soul retrieval and to a primal scream workshop. I studied at Agape. I went for acupuncture and did everything I could to feel better again.
Because it's my life. I'm in charge.
I wrote my story. I owned my story. I forgave my story. I brought presence to it.
When I didn't bring it to conscious awareness I couldn't send love and light to those parts inside that hurt cause I didn't see them
I went on to hold the space for healing for years as a volunteer in my Spiritual Psychology program and then as a prayer chaplain
I want nothing short of huge influence for my clients.
I want them to experience what I've experienced by presenting my story live on so many stages and for so many different communities.
I know what it's like to share my story for 4 people to 700 at a time in person and feel how my message lands.
I know what it's like when I've produced client showcases in person and virtually and the audience leaves in tears, or hope...always entertained .
I can help anyone tell a more captivating story and I LOVE my entrepreneur and Speaker clients who are willing to play with me and trust that my help with development of the emotional part of what they've experienced and the 'real stuff' can fit into their BIZ Talks...and make them memorable
Sometimes two lines- about your story and delivering them in a way that wows the audience is enough to not only grow your business, get referrals- but it's also the thing that has your story become that person's story in the audience that you can literally change the direction of their life- because you were so brave...and skilled.
And when it's not about the money and business growth and I can dive in artistically with my performer and author clients and squeeze out every bit of their talent because they are unafraid...(or afraid but ready)...just freaking amazing energy.
I have space for two new private clients who are ready to take that story they've been thinking about sharing on stage for years, may have even worked on it here and there or maybe for years like a client I am thinking of now- who went from working on her piece for five years in a class to getting it on stage within 3 months of working with me...and then continuing from there- more stages.
Yes, you have to be ready to say NO to your fears and thoughts of not being good enough. (I've been a coach since 2006 so I have tools to help with that)
You have to be BRAVE. I'm not relying on a formula that I've sold to thousands of people and saying- do this and you will be making money and be unforgettable.
My frameworks works and it's the foundation for me to help you take your work from the page to the stage.
You can get my framework or you can get me helping with your writing, your storytelling and directing you
My prices are going up after the next two private client spots are filled.
DM me to set up a non-pressure call where I can find out if I can help you take the stage. in the way I know you were born to
