Our stories are our legacy.

Your Story Shapes Everything
I believe we need three things in life: food, love, and story.
Story is deeper than how we communicate. It’s how we figure out who we are. It’s how we connect, how we make meaning, how we’ve survived and grown for generations. Whether you’re writing a book, pitching a show, or building a brand, story is what makes it stick.
It’s not just about what you say. It’s about how people feel themselves in what you’re saying. That’s what makes your work magnetic.
Your personal story works the same way. It quietly shapes what you choose, what you believe is possible, and how you show up in the world.
I bring over 20 years of experience - across Broadway, Hollywood, writing rooms, creative studios, and coaching - and I've learned how to spot the story shift that brings everything into alignment. My work goes beyond helping you succeed. It’s about unlocking the highest expression in both your work and yourself. That's what My Story Shift is all about.
YOU WERE NOT BORN FOR BOXES AND ALGORITHMS
You’re sitting there, coffee warm in your hands, phone nearby, feeling that familiar tug. Maybe your creative projects have stalled. You sense there’s a full-wingspan version of you just waiting to break through.
You’ve tried all the things: TikTok “motivation,” AI morning routines, breathwork workshops, the latest podcasts, ChatGPT as your therapist. And for a moment, it shimmered like a promise. But you're still here, more disconnected than ever.
Why? You've been consuming solutions instead of creating them. Collecting other people's insights instead of trusting your own.
Here’s the truth: You don’t need more noise. You need a story shift. One essential adjustment that realigns everything downstream. Like flipping a light switch, suddenly the shadows fall away and the space breathes open.
That's what My Story Shift does. We uncover the hidden stories running beneath your creative life. The ones AI can't name and Instagram can't fix because they live in your body, your history, your truth. This is where story goes from being your cage to your key.
Yes, we'll use the tools of this moment to work smarter. But first, I’ll help you remember what’s yours.
Your voice. Your rhythm. Your story.

INITIATE THE SHIFT TO START ALL SHIFTS
Shifting your story is like knocking down the first tile of a domino rally. Next comes a shift in your perspective. Then, your choices. Finally, your outcomes.
This holds true if you’re drafting a story to guide your home life, career, business or if you’re developing a work of fiction or memoir. (I work with all types of writers.)
If you’re ready to jumpstart a stalled story, you’ve come to the right place. Story Sessions are designed for individuals, writers, creatives, and entrepreneurs seeking personalized, 1:1 coaching to map life-changing stories.

One-on-one sessions with Autumn aren’t about forced positivity or surface-level change.
It’s precision storytelling support from someone who’s danced on Broadway, acted opposite Oscar-winners, pitched studios, chased a dream to Paris, and rewritten her own life more than once. Whether you’re navigating a creative block, launching something new, or just tired of talking about your dreams instead of living them - she’s here to help you shift the story beneath the stuckness. So the real magic (the kind that lasts) can finally flow.
"There was my creative life before Creatives International, and then after. I'm so happy to not feel alone as a writer."
“Whether in your creative work, or in your personal life, Autumn has an uncanny ability to listen, identify your specific blocks, and point you in the right direction to get out of your own way.”
When I tell people Autumn is the FBI of creative resources, here's what I mean: she's relentless in uncovering the story at the heart of your vision.
My Story? It's a good one.
Hi! I'm Autumn Withers.
I'm a Rockette-turned-Hollywood-actress-and-screenwriter who somehow ended up in Paris writing a book. Life has a way of surprising you, doesn't it?
I've devoted my life to stories: performing my way through them on stage, bringing them to life on screen, and writing them too. Along this wild ride, I became an Eckhart Tolle certified presence teacher (plot twist I didn’t see coming).
What I've learned through all these chapters is how powerful reframing a story can be. I've experienced it myself time and again. One story shift, and suddenly everything looks different.
But right now, we’re not here for me.
We’re here for you. Your story.
