Nothing beats a
great story.
I’ve spent my life fascinated by how stories shape us, and a decade as a ghostwriter has only strengthened my love for reading, reflection, and sharing what inspires me.
Hi, I'm Sydney!
Over the course of a decade, I went from being fascinated with the sheer scale and ingenuity of content marketing to loathing its monotonous and superficial nature.
When I realized my heart was no longer in it, I searched childhood dreams and old hobbies trying to figure out what would come next. Thankfully, it didn’t take too many bouts of soul-searching before a question presented itself…
“Who says I have to stop writing just because I’ve stopped writing what I was writing?”
So, I said goodbye to the corporate world and turned back to the passion-driven, purposeful stories that have always moved me. Now, I’m proud to say I’m back to writing — but, this time, with my whole heart.

I believe the best stories are those told selflessly, with the hope of connecting and inspiring.

A fresh take on marketing.
No more crossing fingers and hoping the algorithm likes you this week.
Grow your brand with a storyful marketing strategy that brings lasting attention to your mission.
The typical approach to marketing makes growth exceedingly difficult — so why does everyone seem to do it that way? They invest hours into writing blog posts then struggle to get traffic. They burn themselves out posting on social media only for their hard-earned followers to rarely see their posts. They dream of scaling up, but it just seems impossible.
It’s not that you’re doing marketing wrong. It’s not that you can’t write. It’s not that you’re boring. The traditional “inside-out” approach makes you over-exert yourself on all the wrong activities and, too often, leaves people convinced that their ideas aren’t sellable at all.
What you need is an approach that moves from the outside in. So your stories are always getting seen by fresh eyes, not the same old followers. So you can pour your heart into content knowing it will move the needle for your business. So that you can get back to focusing on what you really want to share, not what you think you should.
Share what's in your heart.

A story doesn’t have to be worthy of your memoir to be meaningful. A story doesn’t need to culminate in a thrilling, unexpected, or satiating twist. It doesn’t even need to have a clear-cut lesson or takeaway.
The best storytellers don’t write by a rubric. They don’t get caught up in flawless execution or perfect continuity. They write habitually and share insistently.
Storytelling, when we get back to the heart of it, is beautifully simple. It’s in our nature.
Tell stories that stick.
Plunging into a new approach requires only one thing: The courage to put yourself out there. Let me help you come up with a marketing mix that drives meaningful results.

Getting impactful exposure isn’t complicated. I’ll help you identify and tell the stories people want to hear.
AMPLIFY IT
Create something amazing and I’ll show you how to make it work for you over and over again.
OWN IT
With the right mindset, owned channels will help you nurture and connect more deeply.
The Real You Never Goes Out of Style
It’s normal to be nervous before sharing something new with the world.
It can be so tempting to polish up a persona to represent you. An alter-ego who boldly stands up for their beliefs; one who keeps their head down and chips away at their goals with envious discipline; one who gets knocked off their feet and jumps right back up, better off for it.
But the real you has more stories than you could ever tell. They never run out of things to say. They’ll always be “on-brand.”
When you show up determined to be authentic and not hide behind the guise of perfection and positivity, something incredible happens: You start to resonate with people… like all the time.
It takes courage. But the whole you would connect with your audience in an instant. And you would see how much they admire that you’re not hiding behind a facade.
Because complete personas — flawed, quirky, frustrated, ambitious, persevering people who have found the strength to show their weaknesses — are rare finds. And they always stand out from the noise.
