Your Origin Myth
We all live within a story that defines who we are. I work with you to change that story so you can change your life.
The story we live within is set down by the time we reach early adulthood and contains limitations and assumptions about who we are and what we are capable of. Usually these limitations and assumptions were absorbed from the world around us when we were too young to critically appraise them, whether from family, friends, or the societies and cultures we grew up in.
At some point in midlife, often after we have dutifully lived according to these assumptions and limitations and done our best to prove ourselves out in the world, we start to get a nagging feeling that the story we have told ourselves about ourselves is wrong. When this happens, the life we have been living suddenly seems intolerable. This can be a moment of profound uncertainty and fear but it is actually one of immense opportunity because it is a sign you have outgrown the story you have been living within.
It is time to free yourself by writing the real one.
I have developed and refined the Your Origin Myth process to work with you to interrogate and then rewrite the story of your life, combining my perspective and skills as a writer, entrepreneur and storyteller to give you the best outcome. Rewriting the story that you have told yourself about yourself in an authentic way leads to a transformation in how you see yourself and what you are truly capable of. It leads to rich insights and feeling more comfortable in your own skin along with a sense that finally you have permission to be the person you were always supposed to be.The work gets best results when you have lived a little and are now in a moment of change. This could be change you have chosen for yourself, or change that has been imposed upon you. It is also powerful for companies and can smooth out co-founder dynamics.
The process takes between 4-6 weeks and involves one interview session that takes three to four hours (I do this in person and will travel to you) and then we have weekly zoom meetings until you are happy the work is complete. As well as changing the way you feel about yourself, the work also includes deliverables that are bespoke depending on your individual requirements and will be agreed in writing before we begin.Testimonials
