Writing About Hard Things,
A Writing Course
An asynchronous offering that introduces you to the tools that independent writing coaching would offer (at a reduced price)
Do you have a story inside you that's bursting to be told? Afraid to put down hard truths on the page? Can’t commit to writing coaching, but want the tools and insights that one-on-one writing coaching would offer?
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to start, Writing About Hard Things is a self-paced writing experience that will give you tools that will help you become a confident, empowered writer capable of tackling your hardest stories, and transforming your most difficult experiences into powerful, meaningful narratives.
Are you carrying a story within you that feels too hard to get out?
You want to express your truth but it feels daunting?
You're not alone. There is a way forward.
Start Your Journey: Unpacking Your Hardest Stories
Dying to write something that feels too emotionally charged? You feel called to write it, but it feels dangerous… Scary. I understand completely: this has been the sole motivator behind my own writing.
These tools (videos and writing prompts) will help you start the journey towards saying the hard thing out loud.
This course is designed to help you unpack difficult experiences and navigate feelings around them. The beauty of this offering is that there is no rush— you get to take this in the pace you need.
To help guide you, I share my own experience writing about my eating disorder, substance abuse (recovery), and lived experiences, offering reflections on what worked and what did not. I have shared prematurely and over-shared, but I am here to help guide you towards crafting and sharing when you feel ready and the time is right.
Together, we'll walk through the process, so you can finally feel the relief of sharing your story. Let's begin this transformative journey.
Get Unstuck
Break through mental/emotional barriers and start writing with confidence.
Navigate Complexity
Safely confront and process your deepest emotions through writing while taking care of yourself.
Find your voice

This offering is perfect for you IF:
You like to go through things at your own pace, on your own time
You want to get to know my voice and coaching style
You want the writing tools, but not the interpersonal interaction (introverts, unite!)
You are afraid to reach out, but want to grow as a writer
Curious about writing coaching, but can’t currently swing the cost
