🔮 This FREE resource will help you:

🪄 understand the 3 roads that lead to a published book with their primary benefits and risks...

🪄 uncover your priorities for publishing...

🪄 choose the pathway that is right for you…

More Info, Please!

If you want to write a powerful book, build a magnetic personal brand, or lead with greater influence, your story is the most valuable asset and tool you have.

But only if you know how to invest with it… and wield it.

This October, join us at our “You Can’t Make Up This Story” Retreat, where we will help you begin to master the art of storytelling while rewriting the personal and professional chapters that no longer serve you.

You’ll learn the storytelling skills you’ll need to:

🖋️ craft compelling, authentic stories that captivate readers, clients, and audiences

🖋️ turn your personal and professional experiences into powerful messages that sell and inspire

🖋️ develop the confidence and clarity to speak, write, and lead with unshakable authority

🖋️ finally publish (or position) your book, your brand, and your thought leadership from a place of truth and authority

It’s more than a writing retreat.

It’s a storytelling immersion, in which serious authors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders do the deep work — releasing old narratives, healing what’s ready to heal, and stepping into the next level of their calling.

Past participants have:

✨ broken free from limiting family stories and finally written their truth

✨ shifted long-stuck dynamics in life and business

✨ found the clarity and courage to lead with a bolder, truer voice

If you’re ready to stop playing small with your message and start living and sharing a story that elevates everyone it reaches…

This retreat was designed for you.

the lost, the shattered, the tender-hearted wanderers, the grieving, the abused, the tossed-around souls wondering what’s the point of all this hurt and pain and tragedy... wondering if there could be any.

This series is an invitation to walk alongside someone just like you…

as she bravely, daringly, and of course, always a little recklessly listens to the signs, puts one foot in front of another, and answers the call, braving the path as it appears before her.

🦁❤️ The Lionheart Chronicles follows Scarlett V. Leonelli, a second generation Russian-Italian immigrant, writer, dancer, daughter, lover, and seeker as she faces the tragedies of life, unravels each of these identities, and becomes solely…

a Traveler.

More Magic, Please!

You’ve started and stopped.

Something always comes up, or you just can’t seem to get the right outline, tone, or words.

You wonder why anyone would want to read it.

You set it aside and pick it back up again and again, but it doesn’t get done.

We’ve created the solution:

The Chrysalis Content Program

It’s a carefully-designed model that provides just the right amount of:

• time away from your obligations

• structure and accountability to guide you and keep you on track

• permission to do the part only you can—get that content out of your head, heart, and body

• writing partnership to make sure it’s as powerful as it can be

• individual and group coaching to maximize learning, healing, and growth opportunities

• story-saving community experience for those tough and tender stories

• resources and training to prepare for the publishing journey

We know it’s not just a book for you.

It’s going to be a journey.

And you can finish it this time with a guide and allies who know the terrain intimately.

Our next cohort starts in September.

Comment “STORY” below or DM us for details, and we’ll send them straight over.

Cousin Camps are designed to create opportunities for young people to grow physically, mentally, and even emotionally; and the results are

Twenty of The Oracle’s clients wrote about their magically messy journeys through the creative process of getting their stories onto pages and stages in the world. Then she wrote her side of their story, sharing the medicine that they brought into her life to drive her personal healing and professional development.

You’ll laugh and cry and probably gasp at least a half-dozen times.

It’s definitely proof that everything is happening FOR us, not TO us, especially when we are answering the call to change the world in the way that only we can.

“And what’s stopped you?” the Oracle wondered.

“Just about the time I found my love for writing, someone squashed it with criticism… and that was it.”

“And what stops you now?” the Oracle coaxed.

“Nothing! Let’s do this!”

And because Lori Giesey is one of the feistiest humans we know, she mapped out a whole series titled Cousin Camp Chronicles.

The first in the series is “The Ascent,” and it launches July 15, 2025!

If you want the littles in your life to be clever, resilient, and determined youth and adults, get this book for them.
