hello! i’m annette

teacher, author, & flÂneuse

I have always felt that there is a profound magic in stories: since the beginning of mankind they have helped us understand ourselves, each other, and the world we live in. And I am a firm believer that we should live our own life story as deliberately as possible.

This ended up defining who I am and what my life’s work has become: I have spent most of my life studying stories, myths, and archetypes—through years of formal academic training, decades teaching and lecturing at universities and in my own business, and two internationally acclaimed books.

All my offers—free as well as paid—are designed around this basic idea; that the stories we love shape our journey through life, and that if we learn to understand their deeper layers more consciously, they can help us build a the most authentic adventure. I call this walking in the footsteps of heros and standing on the shoulders of giants.
