I'm a two-time Moth GrandSLAM champion, the former founding Director of Education at The Moth, and host of The Story Letter podcast. I've published a hit audio memoir on Audible, and my full-length memoir is on the way from HarperOne in 2027.
I've told my own stories onstage to audiences from 20 people to 9,000, and I designed a storytelling curriculum used by thousands of educators worldwide.
All of that is to say: I've told a lot of stories, and I've helped hundreds of other people tell theirs. Whether you're a first-timer or a pro, I can help you figure out what your story is and how to tell it in a way that feels like you.

"Micaela has an extraordinary combination of experience, skill and talent. Unlike some coaches who have one approach for everyone, she co-creates an environment that serves each storyteller's specific needs. I understood my own story much better after just 30 minutes with her."
"Micaela came in overprepared and calibrated perfectly to what my students needed. With her, you’re learning from someone who's been in the trenches—she doesn't just theorize, she brings what actually works in a live room."
"My experience with Micaela was transformational. She gave me the skills and confidence to get on the Moth stage for the first time, and more importantly, her deep insights helped me understand myself just a little better."
