Why Storyhouse Fifteen?
It's a name that comes from the 15th chapter of an ancient story about a wise and selfless shepherd.
Like that shepherd who leaves his field of 99 in order to find the one lost sheep, the work we're doing at Storyhouse Fifteen isn't really about accolades or profits or fame. And no matter how many people find their way to our community, we'll never ever forsake the one just to keep the many.
We're not here to scale our way to multi-millions. We're not even setting out to become the next big name. We just want to show up with all our gifts and strengths so that we can help leaders like you keep changing the world - one relationship at a time.
Since 2016, I’ve worked with more than 400 solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, and brands. From brand message strategy to storytelling, I’ve helped every single client cut through the noise to make room for the message that needs to emerge.
I’ve earned a master’s degree in professional writing, worked hard for the types of certifications mom hangs on her fridge, and studied all-things-story alongside some of the best teachers in the industry.
But in spite of all the tips and tricks and amazing skills I’ve learned along the way, the biggest truth I’ve discovered in my nearly 50 years on this earth is that everything I do boils down to my ability to do three things well...
I call these my non-negotiables
I don't get to ditch them on a hard day, and I don't get to change them simply because the world around me moves and shakes.
These are the values that have colored my soul with permanent marker, and when we work together, these are the values that you'll see me use to live, and move, and breathe.
1.
Show up with love
And not the woo-woo kind of love, either. I'm talking about the self-sacrificing, going-to-the-mattresses kind of love that believes wholeheartedly in that ancient maxim -- first shall be last and last shall be first.
2.
lead with grace
Because when you do this first, you create space for others to show up as 100% real. Grace prioritizes forgiveness and understanding, mercy and love, and there's no other world I wish to live in than the one that's been colored by the power of grace.

3.
Examine everything
No question is off limits, and no question is ever too big. Truth is never afraid to be challenged and sifted, so you'll never see me run away from hard-to-reconcile ideas. Instead, I'll embrace the wrestling because it's here in the close-up examination where the greatest growth always happens.

Here are a couple of things you should know about me, friend!
I’ve played piano since I was 8 years old and secretly wish I had become an opera singer. In fact, I’ve convinced myself that if writing had not found me first, I’d be traveling the world, giving all the Pavarotti-sound-a-likes a run for their money. (Of course, all the patrons would need to be tone-deaf to appreciate my singing skills.)

I once found a 4-karat diamond ring that had been lost in the sand. The woman who had lost it had surrendered to despair, and although I didn’t know her, I knew I couldn’t let her give up. I crouched down and dug through the hot Bahamian sand, searching for any glimmer of gold or diamond. “It’s lost forever,” she kept saying. Twenty minutes later, I proved her wrong. I knew determination would win the day. It almost always does.
