In a world of information overload and bland cookie-cutter courses, have you ever yearned to stand out, cut through the noise, and forge those authentic, soul-stirring connections with your perfect tribe?
Join me on a life-changing journey!
It happened on an almost empty Swiss Airline plane when the pandemic hit.
Fresh from researching storytelling among refugees at a German university, I was en route to Colorado for my regular teaching gig as a linguistic anthropologist (and to reunite with my neglected husband).
Masked up (yes, with an eye mask, the best I had), cocooned in a warm blanket, I pondered my life in academia and my burning desire to drive positive change.
You see, with a Ph.D. in linguistic anthropology and nearly two decades of teaching experience, education wasn't just a job—it was my passion.
Online teaching was my jam because it allowed me to witness students from all over the globe experience breakthroughs that transformed their lives.
Mastering online teaching wasn't a walk in the part at first.
I spent all my time crafting content for my courses, hoping to strike gold.
And my courses weren't exactly setting the world on fire, and my students? Well, they were dropping like flies and handing me lukewarm reviews.
So, I had to hustle and think fast.
Luckily, my research on storytelling swooped in to save the day. I began infusing stories into every aspect of my courses, effectively communicating knowledge while keeping students engaged and eager for more.
But it wasn't until that plane ride that I had my 'Eureka!' moment(s)...
🌟 I wanted to launch my own business, breaking free from the confines of academia to share the magic of storytelling with fellow digital course creators.
🌟 My goal? To empower those who empower others—yes, including you, my amazing fellow creator!
But this wasn't my happily ever after - YET.
As I glanced over all the vacant seats on that flight...
Doubts marched in and rained on my parade
Should I abandon my trusted career? What would people think? What do I know about running a business?
Being obsessed with lists, I quickly scribbled down my expertise that makes me, well, ME...
💡 my decades-long storytelling research adventures that included some wild fieldwork – it’s been quite a ride!
💡 my consulting job sharing my linguistic skills with fellow teachers to spice up their teaching content.
💡 my launching numerous online courses – a treasure chest of inspiration, really!
And I still LOVE that list.
I use it as my superpower against that pesky imposter syndrome.
It has been guiding me towards doing what I genuinely love and excel at – designing courses and using storytelling to make them truly effective.
So, my friend, what is your unique superpower?
Let's find out and unleash it together!

If we haven't met yet, here are 10 things you probably didn't know about me...
As a Coloradan hailing from a small town in Bavaria, Germany, I hope you find my accent (and my selfie failure) charming. Prost to a business relationship that's as enjoyable as a Bavarian beer festival! 🍻
When I came to the US, I chased the American dream, transitioning from an Artistic Director at Vidal Sassoon to a linguistics Ph.D. scholar, and eventually to an online entrepreneur. My trading hair brushes for textbooks and then stuffy academic walls for the freedom of digital nomadism show that it's never too late to reinvent yourself. Chase your dreams! 🇺🇸✨🇩🇪
I take my coffee so seriously that I once contemplated giving it a spot on my emergency contact list. ☕️❤️☕️
In my world, education is not confined to dullness and dryness. Instead, it's a colorful tapestry woven with threads of imagination, discovery, and storytelling.
I'm an absolute sucker for 80s pop music and been known to crank up the car speakers for a good sing-along and for helping my husband perfect the art of the eye-roll. 💃🏻
I have quite the reputation as a chocolate supplier for friends and family on both sides of the Atlantic, flying a stash of Hershey's to Germany and returning with Milka and Kinder goodness. Spreading international chocolate love can be quite heavy on your back. 🍫
I could organize for days and that's why systems, frameworks, and simplifying things bring me joy. Oh, and I love editing and decluttering. Thank you, Marie Kondo, for helping me with my closet! ❤️
As a Christian, phrases like "Jesus take the wheel" and "God's got this" naturally find their way into my digital entrepreneur vocabulary when it comes to mastering yet another piece of tech. Can I get an Amen? 🙏
My bike rides through Colorado reach peak satisfaction levels when my favorite donkey and sheep are out in the pastures. The two have ignored me so far, but I haven't given up hope that one day they will recognize me and come trotting over. 🚴🏻♀️
I love the beach and pool, but can't stand being in the sun. It's like a comedic tug-of-war between my love for water adventures and my aversion to turning into a crisp lobster (despite layers of sunscreen). 🦞
