Selling Without a Story is an Uphill Battle


When you dont embrace storytelling, you are making things harder than they need to be.

We’re bombarded with ads every day—on our phones, in our inboxes, and even during a quick scroll through social media. It’s relentless. And because of this, people including you and me - have built walls. We’re skeptical, resistant, and often outright blind to anything that looks like a pitch.

But there’s one thing that sneaks past those walls.

A story.

A well-told story has the power to stop someone in their tracks. It pulls them in, makes them lean closer, and sparks that little voice inside that says, “This is different. Tell me more.”

When you share your story—crafted thoughtfully, told authentically—something magical happens. People don’t just listen; they participate. They root for you, feel invested in your success, and want to be part of your journey.

But here’s the catch: it’s not enough to have a story.

It’s about how you tell it.

There’s an art and a science to structuring a story so it resonates. To polishing it without losing its heart. To making it powerful without oversharing or coming across as manipulative.

That’s where I come in.

Your story is already in you. Let’s get together, bring it out, lay it out, pick out the good bits and craft it into something unforgettable—something worth listening to, worth sharing, and worth remembering.

Because once your story is told right, you becomes unignorable.

Let's do this,

Yesterday, my bestie woke up in the middle of the night, ate a few biscuits from her bedside snack drawer (don’t even ask) and promptly went back to sleep. We were on a FaceTime call, when she randomly shared this fact with me. Apparently, she’s been on this 21-day fast, and according to her, the hunger was kicking her butt! After we had a good laugh about her midnight snack attack, we somehow ended up talking about make-up. She even gave me a mini makeup lesson right there on the call “This...

Nobody cares about your story... Harsh? Maybe. Here’s a marketing lesson for you: people only care about themselves—their own pains, problems, desires, and goals. So if you’re going to tell your story, you need to tell it in a way that matters to them. Your story needs to reflect their desires, pains and needs. When I recently shared my own story, I knew it had to serve a purpose: reintroducing myself to my warm audience. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats—psychology student, medical school...

Over 100 likes and 30 comments in just 2 days after sharing my story - and that was just on my Facebook profile. On my linkedIn page it was wild. I had not posted anything for months and I just I posted my origin story and it was bonkers! Over 7000 percent increase in impressions and 2.5% increase in followers. Nothing fancy. I just told my origin story. I shared my story because I had to put my money where my mouth is and practice what I had been "preaching" to you to do all this time... I...
