let's get visible

Bold Types Collective

As a creative coach and facilitator—as well as a solopreneur myself—few things bring me more joy than helping fellow entrepreneurs, small business owners and subject matter experts step into the spotlight. Over the last few years, I’ve been able to do just that through my Start Your Press intensives and 1:1 work with clients! This work has been highly effective, garnering placements in top media outlets including Fast Company, BBC, Business Insider, Martha Stewart, CNN Underscored, Woman’s World, National Geographic, TIME, AARP and so many more.

People are so energized when they take the Start Your Press intensives, and you can *absolutely* take what you learn there and run with it on your own. But sometimes you need extra support and motivation to stick with these tools and start incorporating them into your worklife in a meaningful way—and that’s where the Bold Types Collective comes in.

There are *so many* juicy ways to build your expert presence—from podcasts to summits to guest posting—and I’d like to create ongoing opportunities to share them and shepherd others to success! Additionally, this landscape is always evolving; I keep my finger on the pulse and would love to help you do the same. Let’s create a container to help not only start your press, but keep it going and elevate your expert status along the way!

The Bold Types Collective launches in May 2025 right after the Start Your Press intensive happening May 8-9! And I'd love nothing more than for you to be one of the founding members.

Bold Moves in the Making

Each month, we’ll focus on a different theme related to visibility! Here’s what’s on tap through October 2025:
