Hey, I'm Brune.ā€‹

ā€‹

I'm a French podcast producer and host, trauma-informed storytelling expert, and creation consultant.

 

I live in Brussels and have strong ties to Canada. 

ā€‹ā€‹

In 2018 in Toronto where I lived at the time, I dared to tell a true and personal story on stage. ā€‹A difficult one. 

ā€‹

After a lifetime of being mostly reserved, I felt heard, and the audience felt seen.

ā€‹

I told a few more stories at shows across the city, and then I had the weirdest idea.

ā€‹

It was 2019.

 

In order to allow others anywhere in the world to experience that sense of instant community as tellers or listeners, I created a monthly storytelling show... on Zoom. 

ā€‹

ā€‹The first ever online storytelling show. I called it Bodies of Stories.

ā€‹

A few months later, covid hit, and I was invited to co-found and co-produce the world's first online storytelling festival.

ā€‹

I produced Bodies of Stories for a year and a half, and selected 20 of the stories told live on the show and put them in a book.

ā€‹

I came back to Europe, chose Brussels for its cosmopolitan culture and, because there was no storytelling scene here, I turned to podcasting.

ā€‹

I've since created 3 podcasts of my own, (interviews, solo episodes, narrative/investigative production), and become a professional podcast producer.

 

For a European podcast company, I recently produced a podcast series on the impact of AI on the podcast industry.ā€‹

ā€‹

As a creation consultant, I've helped people center what matters most to them and create:

ā€‹

Books. Screenplays. Companies. Podcasts. YouTube channels. Events. Performances. Communities.

ā€‹

I think strategically and I'm good at unblocking creators back into action and flow.ā€‹

ā€‹ā€‹

I offer one-off and ongoing support.

ā€‹

Both start with a free chat so we can connect and I can pinpoint how to help people carry out their vision.

ā€‹

ā€‹If that's something you feel might benefit you, my calendar is open.

ā€‹

Welcome.
