It has been life-changing! The culmination of this incredible journey was the Book Signing Event. Seeing our efforts materialize into a beautiful and impactful book was an indescribable feeling. The investment I made was worth every cent. The knowledge gained, the connections made, and the personal growth I received are invaluable. I highly recommend it!

I started unsure of myself. Knowing I have hope to bring and not the skills to share it frustrated me. It was hard work and worth every moment. The encouragement kept me on track, conquering any impostor syndrome. I have emerged as a Bestselling author, confident, with skills in marketing and social media and many new friends. The S.T.O.R.Y. framework has made my writing on every platform more concise and impactful. My story is out there to encourage and bring hope to the world. ~ Nikki Cruise

A collaborative celebration of life-affirming growth. I have learned so much and have so much documentation to review and use for my own personal projects. To describe my feelings during this process, it was like being taken on a trip around the world on someone else’s dime. All I had to do was just show up and be a good traveling partner and all expenses were paid. Elayna invited us on this journey and treated us to all the amenities of a luxury vacation. Elayna shared gems from her S.T.O.R.Y strategy and it was all so simple, direct, and interactive. ~ Jahidah Diaab

It was an absolute joy, all thanks to Elayna! Elayna’s warmth and clarity made the whole process feel like a breeze.

It was more than writing a chapter; it was making memories that will last a lifetime. ~ Maria Lentzou

When I sat down to write this testimonial I found it interesting to be groping for words to describe the journey of working with Elayna Fernández on our bestselling book. As an author, words rarely escape me yet the words incredible, fabulous, transformative, and life-altering, still, I seem to fall short of the experience. If you have the opportunity to work with Elayna Fernández, I would grasp it with both hands and hang on tight for the ride of your life to greater self-expression, clarity, and success as a bestselling author.  ~ Britt Ivy
