Hi! I’m Veronica Antipolo. I’m a professional storyteller and coach.

I tell stories, teach and speak about how sharing stories:

  • impacts and transforms the storyteller when we hold space for them,

  • connects us and builds community,

  • is key for sparking positive change.

It started as a hobby. But whew, storytelling had such a transformational impact on me that I continue to share stories, as well as, help others find and share theirs.

Here’s my story

Part existential crisis and part leap of faith, I started storytelling and stand-up comedy as hobbies.

The leap landed me exciting opportunities. Unexpectedly, it also landed me in spaces of impact and community building that fostered real connection - a key ingredient to sparking positive change.

Storytelling also took me on a surprise journey of self-discovery and transformation. I felt empowered by it. In fact, my experience got me so curious about how telling our stories impacts us that it’s now a mild obsession!

As a cheerleader for people, I hope to bring awareness to, celebrate and honor the diversity of human experiences by sharing the importance and impact of storytelling, sharing stories and helping others share theirs.
