Tell Me Your Story
Tell Me Your Story
Tell Me Your Story is a storytelling intensive where we roll up our sleeves and nail down the pillars of your story so you can walk away with tangible material that builds the framework of who you are and what you stand for.
First, you are your business. Knowing and being able to tell your story clearly grounds you AND grounds your business in purpose and history.
People don’t realize that their business IS a story in itself. Your business is a reflection of who you are and where you’ve been.
Imagine always showing up to your lives or your podcast interviews knowing exactly what to say on the fly because you are so in touch with your message.
Imagine having a bank of subjects you KNOW you can rant powerfully on or make content about because they are close to YOUR heart and YOUR why.
Why does telling your story matter to your business?
If you know who you are, what you have to offer, and why, content becomes a heck of a lot easier.
You’ll also start to see new possibilities around where you and your business can show up and serve.
Sure, you might know your niche, but if you’re clear on all of who you are and where you’ve been, then you’ll start to see all the audiences your story will serve - and if your story can serve them, that’s where you and your business are needed.
Being able to tell your story with clarity, honesty and authenticity is like putting a homing device on your ideal client. When they hear your story told this way, they will see their needs reflected and come running.
Her work? It’s led us to surpass a $100,000 launch in just FIVE weeks, and an over a Quarter of a Million dollar year. Her first month with us was the same month we went from 10-20K months to 20-45K months. I strongly believe we have a multi-million dollar road ahead with her email funnels - the quality of which are SO high, even our Forbes featured Coach was stunned upon reading them.
In conclusion?
Gwendolyn is the most rare diamond of a copywriter you will ever hire, and you’d be wildly crazy not to.

Because I believe that in today’s world of fast media, there are only two things that will catch your attention and hold it: the honest truth, or a flagrant lie.
And you’re not here to tell lies. Lies might make the sale today, but they will not keep people coming back.
The truth sells, and it is the most efficient way of finding your ideal clients and running a business you love.
In my first year as a copywriter, I’ve written copy for a $100k launch, and I’ve helped businesses scale up to 10x their size when I was hired.
I’ve spent hours drawing out my clients’ stories and translating their truth into copy.
So the people who need them can find them.
I’ve been called the "CEO Whisperer" for a reason: I draw out their truth, and their truth draws in their ideal clients.
I'm here to take your own words, your own ideas, and reflect them back to you in the fullness of your power.
Why? Because you - your stories, your very essence - are compelling.
After over 10 years as a performer in the entertainment industry, I’ve experienced what happens when we try to bend and pretend to fit what we think other people want from us. I’ve seen what happens when we take on the stories other people wrote for us.
We become small, we lose our power, and our work becomes a grind.
I’m here now to live fully and freely in my truth - and I’m here to help you do the same.
Because Sounds Like Cool Studios is about helping you see and communicate from your power. I’m not here to fit you into any prepared box. I’m not here to give you a bunch of formulaic copy that “works for everybody”.
I’m here to understand. To see you. To hear and draw out your story. I specialize in working with life coaches and spiritual healers for a few reasons - I’ve done a ton of healing and coaching myself, I’m plugged into Source, I’m an intuitive channel, and I believe in serving people who are lifting others up.
I’ve been instrumental in helping top tier businesses ground in their purpose and start soaring. In my first year in business, I was part of scaling two businesses to 10x what they were when I began, and just six months into my work as a copywriter, my work was a key element of a $100k launch.
I have a unique gift to be able to see the power of who you are and what you do, and then reflect it back to you in words. The effects of this sort of support have been more than even I could have imagined. After working with me, my clients have been able to speak with a kind of authority and power they didn’t have before.
It is a true joy to see the sort of growth that can come to a business after I’ve helped the CEO understand how incredible they are and the unique power they hold.
Frequently Asked Questions
No problem! My objective is for you to be able to tell your story in full. You would be surprised at how much we can cover in two hours, but if you’re sure you’ll need more, you can go ahead and book an extra hour for $55 when you book the session.
During the session, I’ll alert you when we’ve got just 30 minutes left. You can decide if you’ll need more, and if my schedule allows, I will simply give you a link to quickly book that additional hour during the session, or to book another hour or two for a later date.
No problem, love. I offer a 24 Hour Rush Fee for 5D to 3D, and a 48 Hour Rush Fee for Tell Me Your Story. You can book it at checkout - just remember that space is limited for this service!
Oh, so many things.
You began with an idea - you recognized a need, and you realized you could fill it. But that’s not enough to find your ideal clients. They might find you through your WHAT, but they buy because they understand your WHY.
But it’s more than that. YOU have to know and be able to articulate your WHY. You have to be rooted in why you’re working so hard, in the significance of your work and your connection to it, so that you’ll do what it takes to build your business. So that the business your building is completely aligned with who you are and is a place you show up to with JOY.
Everything your business touches must be rooted in that truth. That includes everything from your social media content to your offers to any podcast interviews you do or articles you write to present your business. You need to know why you’re here and how you, as a person, connect to your business.
Knowing that truth, pairing it down, making it easy to repeat, will become the message, the very root, of your business. It focuses your offers, it focuses your content, and it focuses your clients on how you are here to serve them.
For you:
So you can have a place to go back and ground yourself in the story and message of your business - whether it’s while you’re batching your social media content, or while you’re creating your next offer. It creates continuity in your content and keeps you personally aligned with everything you do - keeping you true to yourself.
But also, for your team:
If you’ve got a new or growing business online, you’ll start to notice quickly how many people will cycle into and out of your business - from your VA to your social media manager to your OBM to your copywriter - and their time is valuable. You need each of them to understand what you’re doing and why you’re doing it as quickly as possible so they can get about their business of presenting your work to the world.
A Brand Story is like a consolidation of the truth that guides your business - without your team having to spend time sifting through all your social media content to piece it together for themselves.
So now we have your story. But how do we tell it in 3 min or less?
How do we distill the essence of what you do to immediately call in the clients, collaborators, even investors who are aligned with your business?
Before this meeting, you’ve had some time to look over my notes and highlights from our story session, perhaps even listen to yourself again in the recording.
Now, we roll up our sleeves and map out the 3-5 key points you want to get across when telling people about your business, project, or latest offer, and how to move gracefully from one to the next, regardless of which point comes first.*
*This is a key trick if you end up pitching out of a conversation.
So when you meet your ideal client, collaborator, or investor - be it in the comments, in dm’s, or in person (perhaps in an elevator…), you know exactly how to drive home the essence of your business and what you bring to the table.
Then book a call with me, and let's talk about it! I love chances to think outside of any box - even the ones I made up myself!
One note, though:
Any work you do to grow your business will be more powerful if you are rooted in your story.
If you have not taken the time to sit down and dig into who you are and what your business stands for, or if you took that time several years ago, I suggest you take a deeper look. There is more there - more impact, more opportunity for growth, more truth in your message - than you can know if you’ve never done this work or if you haven’t done it in a while.
