You do work where you affect a community. You work to make people’s lives better, healthier, freer. Whether you realize it or not, storytelling is an important part of what you do.
🌾 For heart-led change-makers…
I think that one of the most important things we can do is understand our stories deeply & then make powerful choices around the stories we believe, the stories we tell ourselves, and the stories we share with others.
Hello, I'm...
JOEY YUNG-JUN LIU, PH.D.
Educator | Storyteller | Life Coach | Healer | Activist
And I want to help you...
Tell Your Story
Find Your People
Grow Your Mission
So I offer...
Radical life, leadership, & communication coaching to help you develop your unique voice & share your sacred knowledge without compromising your dignity, values, & humanity.
Doing your sacred story work is a journey of coming home to yourself.
The version(s) of you beneath layers of social conditioning, capitalistic burnout, and other people’s (unhelpful) voices. The you who is whole, powerful, knowing, discerning, creative, resilient, and who carries necessary gifts for this world.
In this story work, you heal your wounded stories, love your origin stories, celebrate your self-determination stories, and write a story of collective liberation by living it.
We create our best futures when we tell better stories…
…to ourselves, to our communities, & to the world.
The dominant system wants your story neatly packaged, easily consumed, quickly forgotten. They want you to keep scrolling, keep buying, keep doubting your voice.
But your ancestors knew better. 🌱
Your stories have roots. They're meant to ground you, connect you, hold you in community. They're medicine for your healing, strength for your spirit, wisdom for your path forward.
Your stories aren't meant to be commodified—they're meant to help you and your community grow into the better world you know is possible.
To be the paradigm-shifting leader you're meant to be, you need to become the storyteller you're meant to be.
Are you ready to do your story work? To learn how to tell better stories—stories that heal, stories that transform, stories that create the change we need? 💛
Let's begin.

I think a lot about how we can become the people we need to be to shift paradigms & sustain a healthy world. My work intersects with decolonizing, healing, storytelling, cultivating communities of belonging, stewarding our planet, protecting what’s good for all living systems, and disempowering what isn’t.
I've been an educator-activist for 18 years. In different chapters, I've been a spoken word coach, created university-approved coursework on Oral Expressions, helped teams of teachers explore their internal biases and transform department culture to be more equitable & inclusive, and built programs from the ground up to close gaps in the educational system.
Along the way, I've learned a lot about the balance it takes to address systemic issues on one hand & on the other hand to hold safe space for people to do their inner work of self discovery & growth. Both are needed to sustain radical change.
I've been doing my inner work too. From becoming a certified Kundalini yoga teacher to spending years learning from Indigenous teachers & communities about healthier ways of being, my journey has led me through self-healing, self-inquiry, and self-expression.
In this chapter, I'm crystallizing all my strands of work, learning, and being into a framework I call story work. I teach story work now to paradigm-shifting leaders, guiding them to deepen their own process of becoming & knowing.
My mission is to support a community of thriving voices from the global majority who will reverberate their necessary knowledge, imagination, and ideas for the liberation of our best collective futures.
