The Big Idea
CHASING THE BIG IDEA
I believe everyone has a big idea waiting to be hatched. My job is to crack it.
I help people find their unique story, the nugget behind the Aha! moment.
A TED talk coach, public health expert, and author of five books, I help individuals and organizations unlock their most powerful narratives. My work bridges personal healing, professional development, and social advocacy.
I’m a writer, speaking coach, and advocate but, above all, I’m an experience curator.
Writer
lIVING MY STORY
I don’t choose to write books and essays. The stories choose me.
Everything I’ve written has insisted on being told. My work is both personal and a call for others to learn, grow, heal, and be helped.
My book topics range from creating great experiences to memoirs of healing and migraine wellness. I’ve topped the Amazon charts in a variety of genres and also pen articles online.
Speaker
Stand Up. Stand Out. Shine Bright.
As a TED talk speaking coach, I guide each client through my Experienceology process to curate their unique story on a small red carpet.
There’s no magic wand to public speaking. The key is finding the big idea within the speaker and their deeply personal connection to it.
Advocate
wellness. rights. golden retrievers.
Give back and receive. I stand up for those who need my voice.
I began writing about diet and health after I overcame my own battle with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and migraines. I added a wellness coaching certification to my MPH in Public Health and built an online community to network and share solutions.
I am also a puppy wrangler and participant in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study dedicated to ending canine cancer.
I’m a proud member of Free Mom Hugs supporting LGBTQIA+ rights, and can frequently be found at marches.
