The Bio Rewrite
Client: A life coach & mindfulness mentor
Problem: Their current About Me was too vague, cliché, and flat
Goal: They want something human, warm, and real. Something that connects
________________________________________
Client draft:
Hi, my name is Sarah and I’ve been working as a coach for about 7 years now. I help people change their lives and feel better about stuff. I’m passionate about healing, growth, and spirituality and I like helping others. I used to struggle with self-esteem myself, so now I try to inspire people to feel good and improve their mindset. I believe in the power of being positive. My clients say I’m nice and supportive.
________________________________________
ClarityForged version (excerpt):
I know what it feels like to wake up and not recognize your own life.
To be surrounded by "shoulds," half-lived dreams, and quiet burnout.
That was me—before I found coaching.
And that’s what I help others move through now.
I’ve been guiding clients for over 7 years—people navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply trying to reconnect with who they really are. My approach blends emotional grounding with practical action. I’m not here to fix you—I’m here to walk beside you as you remember your own strength.
Coaching isn’t about hype. It’s about honesty.
And you don’t have to do it alone.

Project summary
The original bio section lacked clarity and emotional resonance. The client wanted something that felt more personal, grounded, and real.
Result: A 320-word bio that told her story with warmth and precision. She received multiple replies from new leads within the first week of publishing.Client comment: “It finally felt like me on the page. Better than I could’ve said it.”

Ghostwriting | Memoir – “The Second Life”Brief: The client—a burned-out tech founder—wanted the opening of a memoir that felt honest, irreverent, and emotionally intelligent. It needed to strike a balance between dry humor and raw humanity.Result: A 2,000-word excerpt that set the tone for a full-length personal memoir.
“You didn’t just find my voice—you found the one I didn’t know I’d lost.”
Client draft:
So I used to run a startup, and on the outside things were going great. Like, we were getting lots of funding and attention.
But behind the scenes, I was totally burned out. I was getting sick all the time and not sleeping. I felt like a fake, like I was pretending everything was fine when it wasn’t.
I often puked from stress. One time I cried at work in the bathroom and had a panic attack but then had to go give a presentation like nothing happened. I think I was also dealing with old trauma and didn’t realize it.
I want the memoir to be honest but not whiny, like raw and introspective but not emo.
I guess what I want to say is… chasing success without healing first will break you, even if you’re hitting all your goals.
I’m in a better place now, but I want people to see that version of me who had everything on paper and was still completely lost. Maybe someone else will recognize themselves in it and start earlier than I did.
ClarityForged version [excerpt]:
The first time I cried in a WeWork bathroom I was wearing a Patagonia vest and three-day-old socks. The startup was “thriving.”
I was dying.
That year I launched our third product, got invited to panels I never showed up for, and lost twelve pounds from stress vomiting. Everyone thought I was crushing it.
I was. Myself, mostly.
The worst part wasn’t the pressure—it was the praise. The Slack claps. The passive-aggressive LinkedIn messages from VCs I’d ghosted. The way people said “you’re killing it” like that wasn’t exactly what was happening.No one ever tells you that building your dream life with unprocessed trauma feels a lot like living someone else’s nightmare.I used to believe success meant more clients, more visibility, more noise. Now I think it might mean silence. Maybe joy is when no one needs anything from you for five whole minutes.I still wear the vest. But I’ve stopped apologizing for the person inside it.

Project: Academic Ghostwriting – Argumentative Essay
Brief: A time-strapped student needed an essay that sounded competent, clear, and slightly imperfect—something that could pass without raising red flags.
Client draft:Results — Ghostwritten Essay Opening:
Is Social Media Destroying Us—or Just Holding Up a Mirror?
Social media has been called a modern plague, a digital addiction, and a political weapon. But is it inherently toxic—or simply a reflection of the society that created it?
In this essay, I’ll argue that while social media platforms can amplify misinformation and worsen mental health, the real issue lies not in the platforms themselves but in the absence of digital literacy and ethical regulation.
Blaming the algorithm won’t save us. Learning to wield it just might.
________________________________________
Result: A 1,500-word structured argument with cited sources, a neutral tone, and a coherent thesis.
“Got a B+ and didn’t get flagged for anything. Honestly impressed.”
I don’t judge your hustle, I just make your words land.

Project: Ghostwritten Keynote Speech – Opening SegmentBrief: The client needed a speech that explored resilience and reinvention without leaning on clichés. The tone needed to feel intelligent, vulnerable, and grounded in real experience.Client draft:
So I have to give this speech at a conference thing. It’s like 8 minutes or whatever. They want something inspiring but not cringey. I’m supposed to talk about like… resilience or change or something similar. Something inspiring. I’ve gone through a lot—burnout, career pivot, family stuff—but I don’t want it to be trauma porn. Just real, and maybe funny in parts.
They said I should open strong but I hate cheesy quotes. I just want it to feel smart and grounded. Something people remember.
I don’t know. Say something cool. Make it sound like me.
ClarityForged version:
“Let Me Be Honest.”
I rewrote the opening line of this speech fourteen times.
The first version started with a quote. The second one with a joke.
The third version tried to sound smart.
But this one? This one just tells the truth:
Change broke me.
Not dramatically. Not all at once. It wasn’t a rock-bottom story or a movie montage. It was quiet. Slow. A thousand micro-burnouts that I kept pushing through because I thought resilience meant endurance.
Turns out? Resilience isn’t staying strong.
It’s knowing when to shatter strategically.
When to pivot.
When to pause.
When to say: “This version of me got me here. But it can’t take me further.”
That’s not failure. That’s design.
And if there’s one thing I’ve learned?
The most powerful transformations start with a single, terrifying sentence:
“This isn’t working.”
What comes next—that’s the good part.
And that’s what we’re here to talk about.
Result: An 8-minute speech with a strong opening, clean structure, and memorable closers—designed for a live audience.Client comment: “You gave me the words I didn’t know I believed until I heard them out loud.”
