Private storytelling for creative misfits who are tired of hiding (but not ready for the world stage)

Some Stories Just Need to Breathe

You know there’s a story inside you that wants out. It’s been knocking around in there, making noise, demanding to be written. But every time you think about sharing it with the world, something in you goes “NOPE.”

What if that’s perfectly fine?

What if you could write that story anyway – not for publication, not for readers, not for anyone but you? What if you could experience the wild relief of finally getting it all down on paper without any pressure to do anything with it afterwards?

This is for the beautiful weirdos who need to write their truth but aren’t ready (or willing) to put it out there. It’s still writing your book but you get complete privacy, zero pressure and you decide if or ever you want to pubish.

Why Write a Story No One Else Might Read?

Because your story is tired of hiding inside you

It wants to exist in the world, even if that world is just your desk drawer.

Because writing your truth changes you

When you organise the chaos of your life into chapters and themes, suddenly everything makes more sense. What felt random becomes purposeful. What felt shameful becomes powerful. It is so freeeeeing!

Because you deserve to hold your own story

There’s something magical about having a completed manuscript that proves you’ve lived, survived, learned, and grown.

Because maybe someday you’ll want to share it

Or maybe you won’t. Both choices are perfect. But if you do decide to let it out into the world later, you’ll have something solid to work with. It’s far easier to edit it once you have written.

Because

Because your wonderful, wild, weird self wants to be witnessed – even if the only witness is you.

What Else?

The Sacred Space We Create Together

Complete confidentiality: This stays between us until and unless you decide otherwise. I’ll never share your story, reference your work, or use you as an example. Your secrets are safe.

Zero publication pressure: We’re not writing for an audience. We’re writing for your soul. This removes all the “will people like this?” anxiety and lets you explore your truth freely.

Support required: This work can bring up intense emotions. You need access to therapeutic support before we begin. I’m not a therapist – I’m a storytelling guide who knows how to hold space for big feelings.

Your story, your rules: Some people publish later. Others keep their manuscript private forever. Others share pieces with trusted friends. All choices are perfect.

How We Do This Together

The framework is the same as my publishing program, but with a BIG difference – we’re writing for YOUR healing and freedom, not reader transformation.

12 sessions over 3 months:

  • Discover which story is demanding to be told
  • Map your timeline and turning points
  • Select your most powerful scenes
  • Find your transformation arc
  • Uncover your universal themes
  • Create your outline with creative energy
  • Write with full support and zero judgment

The difference: We’re not asking “will readers connect with this?” We’re asking “what does YOUR truth need to say?”

This subtle shift changes everything about how we approach the work.

This Is Perfect For You If…

  • You’re tired of carrying untold stories inside you
  • You want the clarity that comes from organising your life into chapters
  • You’re not ready to share publicly (and that’s totally fine)
  • You have access to therapeutic support for the deep work
  • You’re curious about what happens when you stop hiding from your own truth
  • You want to experience your wonderfully weird wild soul as perfect instead of shameful

Please don’t book this if:

  • You’re looking for therapy
  • You want someone else to write your story for you
  • You’re not ready to go into vulnerable territory
  • You’re secretly hoping I’ll talk you into publishing

Your story wants out. It doesn’t necessarily want to go anywhere. But it wants to breathe.
