The client went from feeling reserved and overlooked to seeing her life in a kinder, truer light.

Not by saying affirmations or by working on her self-esteem.

But by talking about her life in a kind and welcoming space.

Private Life Story Coaching

Telling your story is one of the best ways to get to know and understand yourself. You'll discover and connect invisible dots. You'll find hidden answers. Telling your story will also give you powers you wouldn't otherwise have.

But unless you're a natural-born storyteller or a TED Talk lecturer, the places we get to tell our stories are few and far between.

This is one of them.

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

Telling your story can be a precursor to writing your memoir, more creativity, personal clarity, moving forward, and to seeing your life (past, present, and future) as story-worthy. It's also a proven path to more self-esteem and self-love.

Hi. I'm Dee Dee, and I've always loved hearing people's stories. Lately I've become passionate about creating storytelling spaces for people who, for various reasons, have stayed silent.

Now they are ready to talk. There are things they want to say out loud. Maybe they are curious about writing a memoir. Maybe they intuitively know that this work will be healing and empowering. And if you're reading this, I have a feeling you're ready to share your story too. Welcome!

you have something to say

Which one are you?

Felt invisible growing up

Maybe you grew up in a family where you didn't have a voice and your opinions didn't matter.

Now you're ready to embrace your largeness, even if it feels scary.

Your mind draws a blank.

Maybe your upbringing glorified being small and silent. This is so common.

Now you're ready to tell your life story, but you need someone to steer the conversation and ask questions.

You want a big life.

You have something to say, but you're afraid of being perceived as arrogant or self-aggrandizing.

Now you're ready to embrace all of you, without judgment or fear.

Maybe your situation isn't exactly like that, but if talking about yourself feels hard—you're not alone.

I get it. It used to be hard for me, too.

What's typical for my clients is that they want to share their stories & their unfiltered longings and insights... but not in front of a big audience.

Your story deserves to be told and heard. I'm here to help you make it happen.

The path to self-esteem is self-love.

And self-love starts with honoring your story.

WHAT WORKING TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE

All the practicalities

We get together for four sessions.

Each session will last 60 minutes and take place over Zoom.

You will tell your story in any order and in any way you like. You can single out events or share things in chronological order.

I will listen and ask relevant questions.

I meet every client where they are. Some clients need help connecting the dots, while some need help to even begin sharing. Some just want to be heard, perhaps for the very first time. Some want to shape their future stories.

Together, we will create a space where your life (and story) gets the support, attention, love, and understanding it deserves.

Cost : 580 dollars.

Once you've signed up, you'll receive a welcome email with all the relevant details, including how to book your first session.

After each session, you might walk away with a new level of self-awareness and self-compassion. Or you might feel lighter and ready to make some changes.

That's the magic of storytelling. Simply by talking, things will unfold naturally and effortlessly.

What people are saying:

RENEWED DEPTH OF GRATITUDE FOR MY SIBLINGS

In one of our sessions, when I shared the story of my early childhood, you reflected back to me the numerous ways my siblings demonstrated that they wanted to spend time with me... that I was someone worth spending time with. Despite our age difference, they made a significant and intentional effort to include me in their lives. Remember when we recently chatted about how things can change in form or spirit... My relationship with my siblings might look the same on the outside, but there's a renewed depth of gratitude for them in my heart.

ALLOWING ME TO MOVE UPWARD AND ONWARD

Dee Dee has that rare ability that allows you to actually see yourself through the eyes of others. She guides you through the process by asking thoughtful questions and, more importantly, listening to your responses in order to take things to the next level. I found her focused questions to be highly effective in allowing me to move upward and onward with issues that once held me back.

Now it's your turn.

This is a beautiful fit for people who love the idea of telling their story without a big audience, and without running the risk of being interrupted or judged.

Life Story coaching is not such a great fit for people who don't want to talk about themselves, don't like the idea of seeing themselves in a new light, and

ABOUT YOUR
COACH

Hi! I'm Dee Dee, so glad you're here. I am known for creating environments where people feel safe, respected, and heard. I genuinely value what every single person has gone through in their lives.

Going back to the very beginning, I grew up camping in Yosemite, where evenings around the campfire naturally became story-sharing about each other’s lives—comical, profound, heartbreaking, and life-changing.

This is the spirit I'm bringing to my work.

I’m passionate about this work because I have witnessed what can happen in a person’s life when they see that they matter, and when they experience that sharing their own story has ripple effects— on themselves and on others. It’s what I call magic.

And it's also why it's different than regular life coaching. You don't need to come with an agenda, a goal, or a problem to overcome. There may be nothing apparent to fix or improve. And yet, life is infinitely better for having told your story. It's a felt experience.

I want this!

“Before beginning, I was nervous and not sure what to expect from participating in coaching sessions, and now I am so glad I’ve had the chance to do them with Dee Dee. She has a friendly and intentional way of engaging in the topics you bring to the table, and creates an environment that feels safe to share and be vulnerable. The exercises and discussions she has led me through have resulted in many “aha” moments. I now have tools that I can (and do!) reach for to help me make changes in thoughts or behaviors that are not helping me be who I want to be. I have been so glad to partner with her on this path to self-improvement.”

Some common questions:

WHAT IF I WANT TO SIGN UP FOR PRIVATE COACHING, BUT NOT LIFE-STORY COACHING?

If so, I recommend you book a free consultation. People hire me to work out next steps, overcome challenges. . . Life-story coaching is often the starting point, or how people get to know me, and then things develop from there. Book your free consultation here.

I'D LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU, BUT THIS IS OUTSIDE MY PRICE RANGE.

I'm so glad you brought this up. I always offer one spot at a 30% discount. Email me if you're interested in that spot, and we'll take it from there.
