Where Stories Meet Spirit, and the Ordinary Becomes Sacred

Step into a world where stories shimmer with mystery, healing, and truth. As a seasoned speaker, storyteller, and spiritual guide, I invite audiences on a journey through the unseen layers of life—where whispers from beyond, intuitive nudges, and everyday encounters hold the power to transform us.

Born and raised in the soulful city of New Orleans, I blend Southern warmth with spiritual depth, weaving personal stories with universal insight. With over three decades in the wedding and hospitality industries, I know how to create memorable, meaningful experiences—and now, I help others find the same magic in their own lives.

Whether I'm speaking to a conference hall, retreat group, or online gathering, I help audiences do the following:

✦ Reframe the Past with Purpose

I teach how to analyze personal stories—those quiet memories, defining moments, and unexplained events—to uncover the divine threads running through them. These aren't just stories… they’re signposts.

✦ Embrace the Mysterious

Ghosts in the hallway. Angels in the kitchen. Dreams that come true. I speak about the strange and sacred, encouraging people to stop brushing off the things that can’t be explained. There’s wisdom in the weird.

✦ Find Meaning in the Mess

Whether it’s a hurricane or a heartbreak, our hardest chapters often hold the greatest gifts. I share how my own story—including a childhood month spent in my grandmother’s clothing store on Willow Street—led me to discover the beauty of service, storytelling, and soul work.

✦ Awaken Intuition and Connection

The stories we tell and the ones we bury are shaping our lives. I help audiences trust their inner voice, recognize the patterns trying to get their attention, and reconnect with what matters most.

Signature Topics Include:

  • “The Nickle Tree” – How one childhood memory shaped a life of service, business, and storytelling

  • Whispers from Beyond – Spirit-led storytelling and encounters with the unseen

  • Healing through Story – How analyzing personal narratives brings peace, clarity, and growth

  • The Soul of the South – Wisdom, resilience, and mysticism from a New Orleans heart

  • Angels, Ghosts, and Gut Feelings – What our stories tell us about what lies beyond

Whether you're planning a conference, retreat, spiritual gathering, or professional development event, my talks are designed to uplift, challenge, and open hearts. With laughter, depth, and a little mystery, I help audiences remember:
Your life is not random. Every story has a purpose. And the divine is always leaving breadcrumbs.

“Whispers from Beyond” and Other Soul Stories That Heal and Transform

Some stories change lives.
Some stories refuse to be silenced.

In these intimate, spirit-led workshops, I guide small groups through powerful storytelling experiences designed to unlock meaning, ignite growth, and connect participants to something greater than themselves.

Whether the story involves a loved one who has passed, an intuitive nudge that changed your path, or a mystery you’ve never been able to explain, this space honors it all.
