My story

I started at 51. Months in, I was ready to quit.

Our son, Hayes, has Down syndrome and autism. My days are caregiving, therapies and appointments. My free time is five minutes here and there.

I needed an outlet. I felt very alone. I wanted to create some awareness.

So I posted. And posted.

Tips. Pretty pictures. Things I thought I was supposed to share.

Then I shared one quiet moment between my husband and Hayes.

It took me about 7 hours to make.

One of my reels was watched over 28 million times.

One reel. Not a promise. Most posts reach far fewer people, and that's normal.

Total views across Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. My results aren't typical, and I can't promise yours.

What it taught me: People don't stop for perfect. They stop for real.

That's what this course is. What I learned, step by step.

I'm a few steps ahead, reaching a hand back.

Is this you?

You have a story. You just don't know which part to tell.

  • You want to create awareness for your child, your family or your cause.
  • You post, and it feels like posting into the void.
  • You freeze when it's time to write a caption.
  • You feel behind. Like it's "too late" to begin.
  • You want to share real life, but you worry about privacy.
  • You have five minutes here and there. That's it.
  • You run a small business and want people to feel like they know you.
  • You've tried the tips and trends. None of them sounded like you.

If you nodded at even one of these, I see you. I was there. Not that long ago.

The method

Struggle, Shift, Lesson. Then S.I.M.P.L.E. Then The Tweak.

Short sentences all the way through. One idea per line. That's Staccato.

Struggle, Shift, Lesson

What was hard. What changed. What you learned. The shape of a story people remember.

S.I.M.P.L.E.

Turn your real life into content that connects.

The Tweak

A 5-point check I built with Claude: hook, tension, seen, voice, ending.

Module 7 · Signature module

Protecting Your People

I share our family's life. I think about what that means every single day.

Hayes is 18 now, and his dignity comes first.

Most storytelling courses skip this part. I couldn't.

You can tell a true story without telling everything.

Inside this module

  • Consent: ask before you post. Kids, partners, students, clients, and adults with disabilities.
  • The 10-year test: would they be proud of this in 10 years?
  • What I never post, and why
  • Location, school, schedules: privacy basics
  • When a post takes off: comments, strangers, and protecting your peace
  • Kids in content that earns money, in plain English (general information, not legal advice)

Your Story Coach

It asks you questions. One at a time. Like a friend.

Every module has a Story Coach card. You copy it, paste it into a free Claude account, and it asks you questions.

Only you know your story. The coach helps you find the words.

It asks what a good friend asks. "Wait. What happened next?" "Who was there?"

If it ever adds a detail that didn't happen, you tell it to take it out. You're the boss.

Uses Claude, an AI assistant made by Anthropic. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. The cards also work in ChatGPT (not affiliated with OpenAI).

The Do-the-Work Guarantee

Do the work. Show me your 4 posts.

All sales are final, except this guarantee. To ask for a refund:

  1. Email [email protected] within 30 days of your purchase.
  2. Include links to your 4 posts: 3 stories and your Start Here post, made after you joined the course.

Every request is reviewed. Refunds are approved only when all of the above is met. Posts must be your own and still up when you ask. Full wording is in the refund policy.

Questions

Questions you might have

Will my reel go viral?

I can't promise that, and I won't. Most posts, mine included, reach far fewer people than my one big reel did. What I can teach is how to tell your story so the right people feel it.

Is this for families, or for business?

Both. It started with our family. Special needs parents, teachers and families come first. The same method works for a small business, and Module 2 shows you the bridge between your life and your work.

I have no time. Can I really do this?

Lessons are short pages. Homework fits in five minutes here and there. Go at your own pace. Fall behind? Pick up where you left off.

I'm not techy.

If you can text, you can do this. Everything happens on your phone. The Story Coach runs in a free Claude account, and lesson 0.3 walks you through it step by step.

I don't want to show my kids. Can I still do this?

Yes. You can tell stories with hands, places, objects, your own voice, or no family at all. Module 7 is built for exactly this worry.

My life isn't interesting. What would I even post?

That's what almost everyone says before Module 1. You don't need a big dramatic story. You need one moment. Your camera roll already has it.

Are there live calls?

No. It's self-paced. Start the day you join, and go at your own speed.

Where does the course live, and how long do I have it?

In a private Skool group. One login, on your phone or computer. You get lifetime access, for as long as the platform remains active.

What's the difference between this and The Reel Kit?

The Reel Kit is the how: one moment, one reel, fast. Finding Your Story is the why: your stories, your voice, and how to protect the people in them.

Why are there no reviews on this page?

Because the January group is the first one. I won't make reviews up. When real students share their words, with permission, they'll go here.

Finding Your Story

Your story is the one thing no one else can tell.

Your hard days. Your wins. Your losses. None of it was wasted.

Let's find it. Together.
