If you know me, you know I am a lover of stories – finding them, reading them, writing them and sharing them. To be able to cultivate my passion professionally over the past 15 years has been immeasurably fulfilling.

When I first launched my communications consultancy in 2019, I was most excited about getting to cultivate my own community of clients and collaborators. That freedom was equal parts intimidating and exciting. Moments like this – a sit-down with April Sciacchitano, Co-Founder of Mix + Shine, with whom I’ve been able to partner on a variety of projects – reminds me precisely of why I took that leap into solopreneurship.

Listen to my conversation with April on Episode 89 of “The Corporate Dropout Podcast” (now available here and wherever you listen to your podcasts) to learn more about my journey in storytelling, my best advice for brands, the power of stories and why authenticity is far more than a buzzword.
