"My own story changed lives - now I’ll help you share yours with the world"

M

Marie-Anne Keeffe

Award-winning journalist, TV producer, and media coach with 30+ years empowering voices worldwide

For over three decades, I’ve dedicated my life to storytelling - whether it’s breaking news on TV, crafting features for radio, or writing for digital and print. My journey began with a passion for uncovering the stories that matter, and over the years, I’ve learned every secret, shortcut, and strategy to make a message resonate on a global stage.

But my connection to storytelling is deeply personal, too. As an adoptee, my search for my biological father became a story that touched hearts around the world. Sharing that journey not only changed my life, but also inspired countless others to find their own voice. Soon, I’ll be presenting this story on the international TEDx stage - a dream I never imagined possible when I first started out. I want to share the ride, and everything I have learnt along the way, with you.

Beyond journalism, I’ve worked as a keynote speaker, MC, voiceover artist, and published writer. I’ve spent decades training people in media, strategic communications, PR, and marketing - helping them craft messages that cut through the noise and truly connect.

I built this app because I believe everyone has a story worth sharing. Whether it’s a personal journey, a bold new idea, or a product you believe in, I want to give you the tools and confidence to tell your story globally. My hope is that this app empowers you to step into the spotlight and make your voice heard.

And yes, it's not AI - I really did meet Oprah! In our conversation she told me I'd made the biggest mistake of my life... complete the StoryBreaker course to find out why and what I did next!
