This podcast will change how you tell your story
Big news: I just recorded my very first podcast interview! 🎉
My first podcast interview is here, packed with tools to own and share your story.
I was so honored to join fellow coach, community builder, and change-maker Lis Best on her Women Changing the World podcast, where we dove into one of my favorite topics—the power of personal storytelling.
In the episode, I shared stories from my journey and a boatload of storytelling frameworks, including:
How being laid off in 2020 (hello, global pandemic 😓) became the turning point for me to step into my new chapter as a Story Coach.
Why humans are wired to connect through stories and how storytelling is the ultimate tool for creating deeper relationships and inspiring action.
A few of my favorite frameworks, like the Hi-Story (perfect for answering "So, what do you do?") and the Story Scaffold, which helps you structure impactful stories for any occasion.
I'm so excited to share this episode with you because Lis and I had such a thoughtful conversation about how reflecting on your own stories can give you clarity, confidence, and direction—whether in your personal life, career, or leadership.

A Little Storytelling Activity for You ✍🏻
To celebrate this milestone, I want to give you something from the episode that you can use right away:
📖 Name Your Current Life Chapter
Pause and reflect: What's happening in your life right now?
Set the scene: Where are you in your life or career right now? Literally and metaphorically.
Introduce the characters: How would you describe yourself? What brings you joy? What challenges are you navigating?
Set the stakes: What do you want most in this moment, and why?
2. If your life were a book, what would the title of this chapter be?
Try out some titles: Is it “The Year of Growth”? “Embracing the Unknown”? “Ruthless Prioritization”? (Fun fact: One of these is a podcast easter egg! 🐣)
How does it feel?: What do you like (or not) about the chapter title you are currently in?
Where to next?: How do you want this chapter to inform or influence the chapter that comes next?
3. Now use this chapter title as a decision-making lens to move you in the direction you most desire. Here's how:
Reflect on alignment: When making a decision, does it support the theme of your chapter? For example, if it's the “Year of Growth,” does it help you grow?
Prioritize intentionally: Use the title to filter what's most important and let go of distractions that don't serve you in this chapter.
Create momentum: Choose actions and attitudes that reinforce the story you want to tell when you look back on this chapter in the future.
Naming your chapter is a simple but powerful way to step into “author mode” and think about where you've been, where you are now, and where you want to go next. ✅
I'd love to hear your chapter title! 👇🏻 Reply to this email and share it with me.
I'm always inspired by the creativity and thoughtfulness of this community! ✨
Recording this podcast was truly a dream come true. Being a podcast guest has been on my bucket list for years, and sharing this milestone with you feels so special.
( 🪣 Now, hosting my own podcast is next on my bucket list. Stay tuned for more on that later this year!)
I poured my heart into this conversation with Lis, sharing lessons, frameworks, and personal stories that I hope will resonate with you.
So go check out the episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.
You'll find actionable tips and inspiration to help you own and share your story with clarity and purpose.
Thank you for being part of my journey. Your support means the world to me, and I'm so excited to keep building this story together. 💖
