An easy way to find what you need
That knot in your stomach when you're about to share your story? The resistance to "putting yourself out there" even though everyone says you should? It's
not just imposter syndrome – it's your intuition trying to tell you something important:
The mainstream approach to storytelling isn't working. Not for sensitive souls. Not for paradigm-shifters. Not for those of us doing heart-led, transformational work.
There's a better way to tell your story. One that honors your nervous system, amplifies your authentic voice, and creates real impact for your communities. One that turns storytelling from a marketing checkbox into a sacred practice of service.
You're tired of:
Mainstream marketing tactics that feel manipulative and inauthentic
Surface-level storytelling that doesn't honor the depth of your experiences
Feeling pressured to "share everything" before you're ready
Stories that trigger rather than heal
Narratives that uphold harmful systems rather than create change
You're a heart-led leader, knowledge worker, or creative and you:
Have important work to share but feel hesitant about putting yourself out there
Want to make an impact while staying true to your values
Seek deeper, more authentic ways to connect with your audience
Care about creating safe, inclusive spaces in your work
Are ready to shift paradigms through better storytelling
Better stories create transformation on three levels...
Lessons from lived experience
Values & visions for collective futures
Cultural ways & wisdom
Honor nervous system safety
Create belonging
Liberate authentic expression
Shift mindsets & spark healing
Cultivate deeper relationships
Guide aligned action-taking
🌿 Connect - Ground with other heart-led leaders and reconnect with the visions that call forth your stories
🔍 Problem-Pose - Examine harmful storytelling in our contexts and reframe sensitivity into superpower
🏗️ Better Frameworks - Learn prerequisites for better storytelling and visualize frameworks that keep stories sacred while sharing impactfully
✨ Better Stories - Explore culturally-responsive, inclusive, liberatory outcomes and experience guides for 5 types of better stories
🤝Workshop & Share - Write in community, in safety. Share when called. We'll hold space for you.
Here's what we're changing...
Stories that commodify success and wealth
Stories that promise "fail-proof" formulas
Stories that create pressure and comparison
Stories that demonstrate your core values
Stories that share wisdom from lived experience
Stories that imagine & invite collective liberation
Authentic connection with aligned audiences.
Vicarious learning that builds real trust
Collective reimagining of better futures
about the TELL BETTER STORIES workshop:
"It was so eye-opening, perspective shifting, just so helpful. It's really something that you have to spend some time with and think about, which I love. There's layers to the work... I loved everything from the start with the acknowledgements & agreements, the invitation you made to us. I really liked the 'do now, do later' design of the follow-along... I loved the story internalization cycle – that's just so important to know. I found myself taking three pages of notes!"
"As a third-generation Singaporean-Chinese who moved to Melbourne... being away from Home has made the question of 'what is Home' come to the foreground... Joey's Tell Better Stories workshop... gave me a starting point to shape the story I want to tell - to my Self first, then considering how to use my story to connect with and advocate for the community that I serve... I love how Joey emphasizes the importance of checking in with our nervous system before sharing... I can't recommend Joey's workshop enough, whether you're wondering 'who am I' or 'how can I use my stories for good?'"
"I loved your framing around the sacredness of stories, and how we can be "good" storytellers. Loved the handout. Top tier. Those story types and frameworks are😘👌🏽. And your personal stories (obviously). Also the energy ritual you did 🫶🏽. I liked having time in small groups at the end. You probably need more time, cuz I can't imagine you sharing less content/context."
Here's what we'll explore together:
Intention setting & community-building rituals
What makes better stories (a radical, paradigm-shifting take)
How "bad storytelling" causes harm
Reframing imposter syndrome
Prerequisites for safe, impactful storytelling
The Sacred Story Work Framework
Examples & outcomes of better stories
Writing workshop & gentle sharing space
Community celebration rituals (no pressure to participate)

Educator, Storyteller, Coach, Healer & Activist
As an educator, storyteller, and coach with over 12 years of experience helping others find and share their authentic voice, I've developed frameworks that make storytelling safer, more intentional, and more impactful for both storyteller and audience.
My approach integrates:
Trauma-informed practices
Decolonizing methodologies
Indigenous wisdom
Nervous system awareness
Community-centered learning
I believe that our stories are our radical power - not just for ourselves, but for our communities & the collective futures we're working to grow. Through this workshop, I'll share the frameworks & practices I've developed to help you tell stories that heal, inspire, and create meaningful change.

This workshop evolved from Dr. Joey's years of teaching storytelling in classrooms, communities, & online spaces. While testimonials for this specific workshop are still being gathered, the frameworks and teaching approach have already helped hundreds of change-makers find & love their voice.
