Story & Content Coaching
for Founders Who Want to Be Seen, Trusted, and Remembered
You’ve dreamed of building something powerful.
A business with purpose, depth, and heart.
But lately, something’s off.
Your content feels flat.
Your audience feels distant.
And even though you’re doing everything right
(the strategies, the systems, the funnels),
the connection just isn’t there.
Here’s the truth:
You don’t need another marketing hack.
You need a story that makes people care.
The New Reality of Content
In 2025, people don’t follow content.
They follow characters they trust.
And as the founder of your brand, that character is you.
And the extra benefit: the more trusted you are, the more likely you are to get cited by AI search.
The problem isn’t that you’re not “showing up enough.”
It’s that no one’s ever shown you how to build your on-screen identity in a way that feels both authentic and strategic.
👉 If you’ve noticed views and sales dropping…
👉 If posting feels like shouting into the void…
👉 If “being the face of your brand” feels uncomfortable or fake…
You are not the problem.
Your story system is.
That's where I come in.
Hi, I’m Daryn, a Writers Guild Award-winning writer, producer, and digital storytelling strategist.
I help founders, small business owners, and women entrepreneurs stop thinking like influencers and start thinking like showrunners by using episodic storytelling techniques to get viewers to binge.
Because going viral is overrated.
Being binge-worthy — that’s the REAL metric.
☕️ Introducing: The Story Caffeine System
No more scattered, copy-paste content.
Other coaches focus on optimization.
I focus on character and narrative.
My Story Caffeine System Helps You:
✅ Build your leading character (the "you" people trust)
✅ Turn your mission into a narrative that feels authentic and aligned.
✅ Structure your content like a show people can't stop watching
✅ Build trust and emotional connection with your audience
✅ Put a repeatable content system in place that is sustainable so you don't burn out
How It Works
✅ STEP 1: Get Energized
Join my community and YouTube channel for weekly storytelling insights.
✅ STEP 2: Story Review Session
Book a 1:1 consultation so we can uncover your unique story angle and brand identity.
✅ STEP 3: Ongoing Story Coaching
Work with me to build your signature storytelling system,
so you can show up consistently, confidently, and in a way that truly connects.
You don't need to be a TV showrunner...
but you need to think like one.
