Memoir Mindset Course
THIS COURSE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR ENROLLMENT
Through working with our clientele, we noticed that many people who came to us wanted help in telling their personal story and experiences in an authentic and purposeful way. And we dig it. Thus, our Memoir Mindset series was born!
Throughout this 12-week course we will be in community with one another and work together to start and create a book that you are proud of and represents your own unique voice.
By sharing our stories with the world we create more unity, more understanding, more truth, and ultimately more peace.

Think about a memoir or novel that influenced your life. Did you feel seen? Inspired? Did you make life changes afterwards?
What if that author let their insecurities get in the way of their creativity? What if you never got to read that person’s stories and way of life, which probably led you to be braver or more adventurous in your own life? Did you feel less alone in the world when you read it?
By not writing your story you are robbing someone of that experience. Your story has the power to heal others (and yourself in the meantime!). Whether you want to write about your hilarious travel stories, or how you stopped the cycle of abusive relationships, YOUR STORY MATTERS. And we want to read it.
So, let us help you along the way towards creating your memoir!

We will also carve out time for actual writing. Not only will you learn together and discuss your own personal book, you will also have designated time to go off mic and put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). We believe in learning about our craft, but it doesn’t mean that much if we aren’t making time for the actual practice.
Included with the designated hour each week of discussion and writing time, you will also have 2:1 book coaching for 30 minutes with Renee and Codi one time during the 12-week program.
Additionally, you will be invited to a private Facebook group for those in the Memoir Mindset series with you. Here we will build community, get additional help when you are stuck, exchange ideas, and cheer each other on.
