Hello! I’m Hilary.

I’m so glad you’ve found me. I’m a writer, speaker, founder of 22 Stories, host of The Everyday Storyteller Podcast, mum (to a human and a Golden Retriever) but most of all, I’m a storyteller.

I make it my job to help brilliant women in business who want to be the leading character in their life but are fed up with feeling the pressure to ‘have it all’ (plot spoiler - no one does), turn their experiences into inspiring stories that connect them with their dream clients.

So if the idea of being a #bossbabe makes you feel queasy, you have zero desire (or energy) to ‘hustle’ and quite frankly you can’t be arsed to earn ‘6 figures in 30 days’ because you don’t want your business to be boss of you and success means something a little deeper… I reckon you and me are going to be friends.

Why subscribe?

Here on Substack I share more than just my professional experience and knowledge of how to use storytelling in business, I talk about why having your own voice matters, how hard finding it can be, and what it really takes to finally feel in control of your story (the good, the bad and the downright butt ugly).

What you can expect

• Unfiltered thoughts and musings as I share my journey from never fitting in to finally finding my place and figuring out what I actally was put here on earth to do (it only took 43 years!)

• An honest view of business storytelling; sharing what works well and what to avoid - no bullshit here.

• The odd feminist rant and take down of the patriarchy (natch).

Everything here is free for now So please do subscribe now by tapping the button below and enjoy

Honest disclaimer: Speaking in Stories is free today but won’t be free forever. At that time, there will be a whole heap of extra features - like LIVE sessions and exclusive podcast episodes, and I will be very intentional about when I turn on the paid feature. But for now, please subscribe and enjoy as I waffle on about life, business and storytelling. I thank you :-)
