Learn How to Use the
Healing Power of Storytelling to
Discover Your Your Truth
Strengthen Your Brand,
and Build Your World-Renewing Business
“So, tell me your story…”
This is the perfect way to start a relationship with a new friend, colleague, or potential client. Starting a conversation with such an invitation means you instantly get a window into who someone is and what's important to them.
Have you ever noticed that learning someone's story deepens your connection with them? You can't help but want to work with them or at least support them in their endeavors...
Same thing goes for you. People lean in when you share a piece of who you really are.
When you’re a creative entrepreneur or a healer with a unique approach, people are always going to be interested in your story...
The story you share immediately helps them understand the “why” behind what you do and how you do it. A story will help them realize, “Oh! This is exactly who I need to work with!”
But, if you haven’t given yourself a chance to dig deep and get clear about your own story, that invitation can feel very unsettling.
The sense of “I don’t have a story to share” or “I have no idea where to begin” can be paralyzing. You fumble for the right words and you might start to panic that you’re missing a golden opportunity to create a new relationship.
The truth is you do have a powerful story worth sharing.
You just need to figure out how to access it, articulate it, and use it in conversation and on the page.
Stories are currency
Stories give you access to the most valuable thing in the world: human connection
Ask yourself what becomes possible for you as an individual and as a professional when you…
Have a ready answer the next time a new acquaintance or potential client asks you what you do
Know what to say on your website, on social media, and during that next podcast interview
Can rely on an authentic brand story that conveys your unique magic and helps you stand out in a noisy marketplace
Stories are at the heart of that elusive yet powerful thing called “your brand.”
In this program, we’re going to demystify that whole “build a brand” thing and help you translate your vision and your ideas into something real and necessary: a world that invites your ideal clients to step right in and take part in your magic.
You’re Invited to Uncover
Your Sovereign Story
Your Sovereign Story integrates the most essential parts of your personal and professional “why” and enables you to be who you are and what you offer so you can connect with the people you wish to serve.
And, as you’ve probably guessed, it wraps all this into a meaningful story that you love to tell and really want to embody.
So often, the people who do the most powerful, life changing work - transformation professionals including coaches, therapists, healers, and teachers - don’t have the right words to describe their magic and represent their unique brand.
When you have a clear Sovereign Story, you can communicate your mission with ease.
Relying on your Sovereign Story, you can invite people to work with you while holding a sense of confidence and grace.
The next round of Sovereign Story, Sovereign Brand begins May 3, 2021

Let’s talk about how I can support your journey as an entrepreneur and a storyteller.
“
Marisa understands that transformation professionals write because we want to heal ourselves first, and then we want to share our stories to support others in their healing.
We want to touch the heart and soul to make a difference in the world. It is about the process/journey and not just about performance, notoriety, or the standard definition of “success.”
The magic and medicine Marisa offers is in the encouragement, support, and challenge to venture into new areas with our writing and our businesses so we can confidently and skillfully express and communicate our work out in the world.”
During the Stand In Your Sovereign Story Program, we’ll uncover and craft:
the story that matters to you & represents who you are
the story that builds relationships with your ideal clients
the story that establishes your brand and helps people choose you
After you complete the Sovereign Story, Sovereign Brand program you’ll have:
a deep understanding of your own origin story and the “why” of your business
insight into the Archetypes of Sovereignty and why they’re so important to you and the way you show up in the world
insight into how to use storytelling to sell your services in a way that’s in alignment with your goals and your spirit
clarity about your ideal client and what they’re looking for from you
new approaches to social media strategy that are authentic and sustainable
answers to “what do you do?” and “what’s your story?” that fit every occasion, from networking events to conversations with potential clients
“After taking this course and working with Marisa, I feel like I have a lot more confidence to communicate what I do to potential clients, and great story-telling copy for my website. It was incredibly helpful to have a group tell me “this is how this lands for me” and a coach help me focus and hone my word-smith skills.
Marisa really is a “word witch,” as well as an amazing coach. I got what I came for and I am so glad to have been part of the Sovereign Story Program. ”
What do we mean when we say “Sovereign”?
First, let me introduce myself.
I’m Marisa Goudy, and for me, everything in our personal and professional lives comes down to Sovereignty.
In fact, I published a book called The Sovereignty Knot: A Woman’s Way to Freedom, Power, Love, and Magic last year.
Here’s a passage from the introduction…
You are called to stand Sovereign in your own life. When you are Sovereign, you know who you are and what you want. You know how you’re called to show up, heal, and serve this world. Your Sovereignty is your sacred sense of self. It is your sense of agency and your ability to exert a healthy measure of control over your thoughts, your actions, and your destiny.
I’m a writing coach and business consultant with a decade of experience as a content writer, copywriter, website consultant, and online marketer. I’m also an energy healer, a tarot reader, and a student of Celtic myth and mysticism.
And, in case you think that “Sovereignty” is all about going it alone, it’s important to say that I’m a married mama with a penchant for partnership and a craving for community.
I’ve invested time and energy into writing my own Sovereign Story because I needed to understand and heal my own life and because I know that a well-told story is an invitation.
Experience has taught me that when one brave writer-healer tells their story, it opens everyone around them to do that work of discovery, understanding, and healing.
“The Sovereign Story program has been an invaluable support as I created my business this year. Through this program, I gained so much clarity around the how and why of storytelling in building my brand and connecting with my audience.
Marisa has guided me every step of the way, encouraging me to find just the right stories, crafting those stories to bring value and meaning to my readers, and infusing my stories with word magic that brings them alive.”

What do you need to know before you commit to the Sovereign Story Program?
Sovereign Storytelling is healing work.
This approach gives you the space to get clear on your past and on your dreams. It gives you permission to look at all the ways you’ve struggled, healed, learned, and evolved. Your Sovereign Story depends on your truth, strength, and empowered vulnerability.
Sovereign Storytelling is practical work.
As a service provider and healer trying to be heard above the noise, your success and growth depends on the clarity and potency of your message. You can’t change lives if you can’t get people to book a session or come to class. When you have a Sovereign Story you have an essential piece of your marketing strategy.
(By the way, one of the many meanings of “sovereign” is related to old British currency. Yes, using the Sovereign Storytelling method will help you make some coin and build your livelihood.)

Sovereign Storytelling is magical work.
Storytelling is about taking the unknown and shaping it into words. It’s about being an alchemist who translates a lifetime of experience into prose.
We call on intuition, myth, meditation, and archetype to turn the unspeakable, the overwhelming, and the painful into a healing narrative.
Sovereign Storytelling isn’t just writing work.
Yes, I am a writing coach and the founder of an online writing community called the Sovereign Wisdom Circle, but this program is not just for writers. We’ll be teaching fundamental concepts that are essential to every creative entrepreneur and transformation professional who wants to understand and share their own story to market their business and change lives.
If you’re really struggling with writing copy you’ll be able to hire me for some extra help. (But shhhh, don’t tell anyone! I’m super selective about taking on copywriting clients and only write for people who are on the Sovereign Storyteller’s path!)
