Description

If your nonprofit’s message feels unclear, confusing, or just… not connecting, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down a simple but powerful storytelling framework built just for nonprofits. One that helps you move from passive, “look at us” messaging to clear, compelling communication that actually inspires action.


We’re talking:

- StoryBrand (with a nonprofit twist)

- Messaging mistakes that keep people from engaging

- How to avoid the saviour complex in donor comms

- 5 steps to clarify your core message today


Whether you’re writing emails, social posts, or campaign pages, this will help you build a message people actually want to join.
