Our Vision

Our vision is to captivate and transform hearts and minds all over the world through the interpersonal, spiritual, and mental wellness stories we tell and through the redemptive way we create and relate to those we impact.

I am so thankful for the strength I was given to heal from the trauma of neglect. As I grew up, I was given all I could ever want physically but was not always accepted for who I am, my uniqueness. I was also bullied. But I was deeply encouraged and emboldened by those who listened and saw me for who I am. First God listened. Then my parents helped me connect with mentors. Those mentors saw my talent and helped me find my place in the world telling stories and directing musicals starting at age 11. And, most importantly, a play therapist helped me learn to see and hear myself.

It is no surprise that I married John who has a similar story and that I now advocate for those who have experienced neglect or have been on an interpersonal, spiritual, and mental wellness journey. I do this by writing and directing corporate, stage, and episodic stories that uplift people to wellness. My heart’s desire is to ensure that all people are heard, respected, recognized and celebrated for their ideas, choices, and uniqueness just as I was. – Wanda
