Working on Personal Brand Story connects me to my childhood, to the feeling of opening a book excited to learn about the characters’ lives and adventures.
When you get a book you see the title and the cover and you get a first impression, but you don’t know about the journey of the character.
The same happens with my clients. When I first met them, I learned about their names, their headlines… but I don’t know about their defining moments, I don’t know about those parts of their story that made them make big decisions. Those parts that will help me understand why they do what they do, why they work with a certain group of people and why they care about the things that they care about.
That’s the power of sharing your story.
It provides context, showing how you are someone trustworthy.
It provides connection, showing how you are someone relatable.
It provides contrast, showing how you are someone unique.
There was a time when I was also confused, wondering why people would care about my story if I didn’t have an epic, outstanding story. But, you know what?
All of us have a set of special moments that shape and illustrate who we are, that had an impact on our lives, on our point of view, and on how we live our lives.
And those moments are helpful for our audiences. It can inspire them. It shows that there is a human being behind the business.
It can be the push that someone needs to take the next step. And that’s powerful!
You don’t need a Hollywood tale. You just need to explore your own journey with a new angle.
Look for those significant moments that are connected to and emphasize what makes your proposal unique and highly valuable.
Because your Personal Brand Story is about your personal story but it’s also about your business.
You don’t need just a nice, interesting, outstanding story.
It needs to be strategic.
Connected to your audience and your offering.

To be transparent, I want to be upfront about my values, so I’m sharing my value statement for you to review before deciding to work with me or invite me as a guest on your podcast or in your community. If these values don’t align with yours or you don’t respect them, I completely understand and am okay with you choosing not to move forward.
I believe no human being is illegal. I stand for peace as the way. I advocate for feminism, anti-racism, LGBTQIA+ rights, environmentalism, animal rights, universal access to health and education, solidarity, and global justice.
I believe in the impactful power of stories and am committed to creating spaces in my community for diverse voices to thrive.
I’d like to facilitate my podcast ‘Who Cares About My Story?‘ especially for those who have been historically marginalized to have the opportunity to share their stories, their journey in running a business, and their definitions of success.
