Harness the Power of Narrative Clarity

The Four Dimensions of Narrative Clarity

(Not all clients need all four dimensions. Read below and see what resonates with you…)

1. Getting Untangled

You may be stuck in patterns you recognize but can’t seem to break. Perfectionism might keep you from finishing. Self-doubt might stop you from trying. Comparison could make you feel like you’re always behind. People-pleasing might mean you say yes when you want to say no.

These aren’t character flaws. They’re tangled narratives… stories you’ve internalized about who you have to be, what you need to prove, or what is safe to want. My work helps you see these patterns clearly, understand where they came from, and work to loosen their grip.

Together we will…

• identify the specific narrative elements that are keeping you stuck
• work to understand the sources of those stories
• challenge assumptions and views that no longer serve you
• experiment with new ways of processing and responding
• build practices/frameworks/systems that support lasting change

2. Embracing Your Agency

Agency is your capacity to make intentional choices about your life rather than defaulting to old patterns or reacting to circumstances. It’s the difference between drifting and directing.

Most people have more agency than they realize, but tangled narratives make it hard to access. When you believe “I’m not the kind of person who…” or “I have to…” or “I can’t because…”, you give away your power to choose.

My work empowers you to reclaim that power by clarifying your values, aligning your actions, managing your emotional patterns, strengthening your habits, and building the mental models that support intentional living. This process instills a sense of confidence and control, helping you to feel more empowered in your life and work.

Together we will…

• clarify what actually matters to you
• align your daily actions with your values
• increase your self awareness and emotional regulation
• design experiments, habits, and systems that support your goals
• clarify your overall mental operating system to sustain momentum

3. Communicating Your Expertise

You’re excellent at what you do, but when it’s time to talk about yourself and your value, you start to feel friction, fear, self-judgment, or some other form of misalignment. You might undersell your value because you don’t know how to articulate it without feeling inauthentic.

The problem is not in your expertise, but in a lack of clarity in your narrative. You can’t communicate what you haven’t clarified.

My work helps you find language for what you bring, develop the confidence to claim it, and build the capability to deliver your message with presence in the moments that matter. This process leads to a sense of accomplishment, helping you to feel proud and successful in your ability to communicate your expertise effectively.

Together we will…

• clarify and articulate your value and differentiators
• refine your authentic voice and style
• build confidence for high-stakes communication
• practice and adapt your delivery until it feels truly yours
• apply a framework to adapt your message to different audiences

4. Building Skills for the Next Level

Some challenges require a new skill or a level up in an existing one. It might be better communication, stronger emotional intelligence, or more effective leadership. You might need increased ability to navigate conflict without avoiding or escalating, and to stay grounded when during times of disruption and change.

For most people, these aren’t innate talents but learnable skills. The trouble comes when you try to develop them without addressing the narratives underneath that disrupt the learning and application (or perhaps just getting started in the first place.)

My work integrates skill development with narrative clarity, so you’re not just learning techniques, you’re building sustainable capability that aligns with who you are.

Together we will…

• strengthen your communication and interpersonal skills
• refine your emotional intelligence and self-awareness
• add to your leadership presence and cultural influence
• practice navigating conflict constructively
• foster resilience and adaptability for change

The Untangling Process: How We Work Together

Whether through one-on-one coaching, in cohorts, or self-guided journals, all my work follows the same six-phase process. These aren’t rigid steps – they’re recurring movements in the process of narrative change.

Phase 1: Notice – Spot where a specific challenge or pattern is showing up in your life

Phase 2: Gather – Explore the story, influences, and conditions that shaped this narrative

Phase 3: Name – Identify clearly what needs to shift and why it matters

Phase 4: Loosen – Explore overlooked possibilities that expand what feels possible

Phase 5: Experiment – Choose one small shift and put it into motion

Phase 6: Incorporate – Reflect on what helped and carry it forward into your rhythm

This process is built on the C.U.E. Method:

• Consider what’s happening without rushing to fix it
• Unpack the context to see what you’re really carrying
• Experiment with one small shift to learn something new

When we work together in coaching, this process becomes personal and adaptive. I bring focus, accountability, and the ability to spot patterns you might miss. When you work through a guided journal, you’re following the same path at your own pace.

My Background

How I Got Here

I started as an improviser and performer, spending years on stage learning to be present in the moment, commit without self-doubt, and create compelling narratives from chaos. That foundation taught me something about confidence under pressure that becomes the basis for everything else.

I spent years in consumer lending sales – high quotas, tense clients, compliance constraints, and performance metrics. This is where I learned consultative communication, how to explain complex value simply, and how to persist with integrity when everything pushes you to compromise. Most importantly, I learned what it’s like to do good work in a system that doesn’t always recognize it.

Eventually I moved into leadership coaching and communication strategy. I learned the frameworks and studied adult development theory. As a communication lead, I learned to think systemically – how messages move through organizations, how to influence without authority, how to create alignment through narrative.

Every piece came together into an integrated practice. The improviser’s presence, the coach’s insight, the presenter’s skill, the salesperson’s resilience, the strategist’s planning. I realized I’m uniquely positioned to help people untangle their narratives and communicate them powerfully. From discovery to delivery. That’s what Untangled Narrative delivers.

I see connections you might have missed – Pattern recognition combined with improviser training means I spot the inner workings of the story you are living that you might not see yourself.

I ask questions that unlock things – Intuition about what’s beneath the surface, combined with coaching training, means I know what to ask and when

I get genuinely excited about your breakthroughs – This isn’t performative. When you have an insight or make progress, my investment is real

I keep it real – Allergy to inauthenticity means I can’t do corporate platitudes or fake encouragement. If something’s not working, you’ll hear about it

I make it engaging – Creative energy and improviser connectivity means our work doesn’t feel like homework. It feels like discovery
