Hi, I’m Gabrielle!
I’m a writer and keynote speaker on a mission to connect people to themselves and each other, one story at a time. Why? Because the world needs more deep conversations, genuine empathy, and people who know they are loved.
You may have met me through Random Note Project, my book Waiting Room, or my newsletter that's said to feel like self-care. Either that or I stopped to talk to your cat.
Real stories for the real you

Waiting Room
Reeling from heartbreak and waitlisted for mental health care, I packed my car and traveled the United States asking strangers to teach me how they cope without access to care. See yourself in my vulnerable, honest life story and join me as I meet ordinary and inspiring people who taught me how to heal in my memoir, Waiting Room.
Unlock the power of story, together.
