Many credible experts and brands are invisible to their ideal audience.

Are you struggling with:

  • Watching less-qualified competitors get featured in outlets you want?

  • Having a message that's too fuzzy or scattered to position you as an authority?

  • Not knowing what part of your story is actually worth with pitching?

  • Wasting time on DIY PR tactics that don't convert into real opportunities?

  • Not being found by the people who need you most?

I get it, watching less-qualified competitors get the spotlight is frustrating.

I know you want to be a sought-after expert who’s seen, quoted, and celebrated. To make that happen, you need consistent, credible media attention that positions you as the authority you already are.

The problem is, most accomplished professionals don’t know how to package their expertise in a way the media can actually use. So they stay stuck—frustrated, overlooked, and unsure how to finally be noticed.

You deserve a clear path to being seen, heard, and truly celebrated. That’s why, for nearly three decades, I’ve helped brilliant but hidden experts break through the noise and turn their hard-earned credibility into headline-worthy stories.

Here’s what makes my approach unique:

I don’t do fluff, filler, or fake hype—just sharp, story-driven strategy that gets real results and media coverage that actually matters.

  • My clients walk away with a crystal-clear message, a press-ready plan, and the confidence to pitch like a pro.

  • I uncover what’s actually newsworthy and shape bold, elevated narratives that feel personal, not performative. No formulas, just truth.

KJ entered my business journey when I felt overwhelmed and unsure how to articulate what made our brand special. Her coaching felt like sitting down with a friend who just gets it, someone who sees your vision and knows exactly how to help the world see it too. It was the push I didn’t know I needed, and I’ll forever be grateful for the clarity and momentum KJ gave me.
