Turn Your Lived Experience Into a Clear Story People Understand
If you have something meaningful to say but struggle to articulate it, I help you shape your story, your method, and your message into something people can feel and take action on.
You’ve done the work. You’ve lived the story.
Now you want clarity that matches the impact you’re here to make.

You’re sitting on a meaningful idea but the message still feels foggy
You have a method or process but it’s not clearly articulated

Ryan Kenny
Meditation Coach
I’m Kary Youman, a resilience coach, author, and story strategist helping leaders turn lived experience into clear, compelling messaging. For over a decade I’ve guided people through transformation as a TEDx speaker, published author, podcast host, 20 year meditator, and someone with 14 years in recovery.
As an American living in Norway, my work is shaped by reinvention, culture, and growth. I’ve helped founders, creatives, coaches, and advocates develop signature stories, frameworks, and messages that feel honest and land with the right audience. If you have something meaningful to say but haven’t found the language yet, I can help.

If you’re ready to stop circling the same ideas and finally land a message you stand behind, let’s talk.
