I’m the founder of CollectingStories — and I believe that even the hardest chapters can become the most powerful parts of who we are. My story hasn’t been an easy one. I grew up with a mother who had bipolar disorder, walked through a violent relationship, ADHD, an eating disorder, a forced marriage, addiction — and later, the heartbreak of a late miscarriage. But through it all, I stayed curious, brave, and somehow hopeful. I learned to laugh again, to trust myself, and to keep going — and in the end, I found freedom, clarity, and purpose. Sharing my story openly changed everything. It healed me, connected me with others, and reminded me that vulnerability is not weakness — it’s pure courage. Every time we speak our truth, we give someone else permission to do the same. That’s why I created CollectingStories: a living space for real stories, real people, and real transformation. In a world of filters and perfection, this is a place to be honest — to share your story, to listen to others, and to turn pain into strength. Here, we celebrate growth — even the messy kind. We believe that every setback can be a turning point, every voice matters, and every story can light the way for someone else. My vision is to build a community that thrives on authenticity, compassion, and courage — where we learn, heal, and rise together. Because our stories don’t break us; they build us. Alongside this, I offer 1:1 coaching and storytelling guidance, based on ICF-certified training. I help people find their voice, embrace their truth, and share their story in a way that inspires change — in themselves and in others.

CollectingStories isn’t just a website.
It’s a movement — a growing circle of people who believe that by sharing, we heal; by connecting, we grow; and by telling our stories, we transform.

Your story has power. And this is where it begins.
