One of the most humbling lessons my husband and I have learned as parents is this: your love, your wisdom, your effort, no matter how sincere, do not always reach your teenager.

​

Not because they do not care. But because they are becoming. And part of growing into themselves means pulling away from the voices they know best, even ours.

​

That is not failure. That is biology.

​

In that space between child and young adult, something powerful is needed: mentorship. Not more information, but trusted guidance. Someone outside the emotional choreography of family.

 

Someone who sees them as they are, and believes in who they can become.

​

Our sons are athletes. We have seen the impact outside voices can have. But not every coach is a mentor. Titles do not build trust. And exposure alone does not shape character.

​

That was the gap I saw, first in our home, then everywhere I turned.

​

Monomyth Studios wasn’t created to extend our home education model. It was created to fill that gap. A mentorship studio for families like ours, deeply engaged, still learning, and wanting more than survival.

​

Families who seek voices beyond their own. Families raising teens to think independently, lead with integrity, and grow into strong, self-aware adults.

​

Before Monomyth, I worked in the litigation consulting field and served as a federal criminal investigator.

 

I trained at the DEA Academy in Quantico, Virginia, and hold a master’s degree. But my greatest learning came not from credentials, but from experience.

​

I struggled as a student. I know how hard learning feels when it’s disconnected from confidence or purpose. What changed me was being put into high-stakes environments where what I knew had to work, under pressure, in motion, for real.

 

That shaped how I lead now. Because learning sticks when it connects to purpose. When it matters.

​

But nothing has shaped me more than raising two teenage sons in a world that rarely pauses for what is real. That’s where I learned the difference between being smart and thinking clearly.

​

And it was in that moment of wrestling, reflecting, and rebuilding that I discovered the work of Joseph Campbell, and the timeless structure of the hero’s journey, aka, the monomyth.

​

It gave language to what I had felt all along: that growth is not a straight line. It is a calling. A departure. A struggle. A transformation.

​

Monomyth Studios is built on that belief.

 

This is not a curriculum. It is a mission. A studio for mentorship, clarity, and challenge, for families who want more than checklists, and for teens who are ready to answer the call to become who they are.

​

My role is not to replace yours. It’s to reinforce it, with the right voices, at the right time, in service of the journey ahead.

​

I built it because I needed it.

​

Now I’m building it for you.

​

Monomyth Studios takes its name from the heroic arc we all walk. We believe every teen is on their own path, and with the right guidance, they will rise.

​

Every great adventure begins with a call.

​

You’re enroute.

Welcome to Monomyth.
