As a first generation Serbian American, it took me years to see my experience mirrored in the books I was reading. As an adult, I worked to change that dynamic. Since then, I’ve published two books, hearing from hundreds of readers how much my writing has helped them. That’s the power of storytelling.

I believe that everyone deserves a seat at the table, and I’ll show you how to get there with powerful storytelling, whether you’ve been working on your book for years or have always dreamt about writing a book.

I love helping kick-ass people further their mission.

I’m fascinated by people, by what makes us tick. And I’m drawn to transformation. Who are we? How did we get here? Where do we want to go? And how do we get there?

I love learning–I have way too many books and am constantly picking up more. My teenagers have inspired me to learn how to snowboard, mountain bike, play ultimate frisbee and shoot a decent free throw. Although I’m still pretty terrible at most of those, I love the laughter and connection that come from trying.

A few of my favorite writers are Stephanie Foo, Diana Abu-Jaber, Kiese Laymon, Joy Harjo, Mary Oliver, Elizabeth Alexander, Saeed Jones, Martha Beck, Brene Brown, Chanel Miller and many others.
