Inviting Liberation

Video Storytelling That Moves People

Your Story is Sacred. Your Truth Is a Gift.

I believe that everybody is sacred, that everyone has stories to tell, and that within your story is a gift for others. Storytelling is more than just marketing. It’s a sacred act of witnessing, a tool for transformation, and an invitation into deeper connection. It is not just a reflection of where you’ve been, it is a portal to where we can go together. Sharing your truth is an act of liberation, for yourself and for those who need to hear it.

Inviting Liberation is a done-for-you video storytelling package designed to help you share from the soul, so you can connect with your audience in a way that is deeply aligned, transformative, and rooted in authenticity.

This is for small business owners and changemakers who are ready to speak from their depths, connect with their people, and invite others into a journey of transformation.

Your story has power. Sharing it can transform you and our culture. Reconnect to the heart of your purpose & soul through video storytelling.

Imagine This…

• You finish your 60-minute interview. After sharing your beliefs, visions, and lived stories, you feel grounded, alive, and connected. You're reminded of the gifts your experiences have shaped in you. The golden thread woven throughout your life is illuminated.

• You receive 8 beautifully crafted, ready-to-post videos that capture the essence of your work, complete with animated text and gentle branding.

• You’re expressing yourself clearly, courageously, and without performance. You feel proud of how you’re showing up and what you’re standing for.

• Your stories are shifting narratives, deepening connection, and resonating with the people who are meant to find you.

• You feel seen. First by yourself, and then by your community.

• Your online presence becomes more than just a platform. It feels like gathering around a fire under the stars: warm, grounded, magnetic, and true.

• You start sharing your stories more, and it becomes a practice of clarity and connection. Your courage to use your voice for the world you want to live in grows.

I want to help you bring your voice into the world, in service to our collective liberation.

What You’ll Receive:

  • A Soulful Interview (1 Hour on Zoom)

    Interviewing is an act of sacred witnessing. I acknowledge that sharing your story can feel vulnerable. I know how much courage it takes to be seen. In our conversation, we will explore the experiences that have shaped you, the beliefs that drive you, and the vision you are bringing to life. I will listen deeply, hold space for your truth, and help you express your story in a way that feels authentic and true to you.

  • 8 Social Media Reels (Optimized for Instagram & TikTok, 9:16 Format)

     From our conversation, I’ll craft 8 short-form videos (20 seconds to 1.5 minutes each) that illuminate your truth, your vision, and your call to action. These reels will be formatted with subtitles, branding elements (colors, fonts, logo), and an outro that invites people into your work and your movement.

  • A Full Interview Transcription

     Your words are potent, and you’ll receive a full transcription of our conversation—so you can repurpose your message into captions, blog posts, or newsletters and continue weaving your heartfelt messages & invitations into the world.

  • Technical Guidance for Best Quality Video & Audio

     We’ll record over Zoom, and I’ll provide simple instructions to ensure your audio is clear and your video and lighting are optimized.

  • A Pre-Interview Guided Meditation & Reflection Worksheet

     To help you feel grounded and ready to share deeply, you’ll receive a 10-minute audio meditation and a reflection worksheet before our session.

  • Nervous System Support

    Sharing your truth - especially online - can activate tender places in the body. This offering includes gentle, trauma-informed support to help you stay grounded and resourced throughout the process.

    You’ll receive a PDF guide with simple, supportive practices for caring for your body before, during, and after sharing your stories. You’ll also receive a guided meditation you can listen to if you ever feel overwhelmed while posting your videos.

  • A Social Media Distribution Guide

     A simple, actionable guide with best practices for sharing your reels, maximizing engagement, and repurposing content across platforms.

  • A Posting Plan

    To make sharing easy and stress-free, you’ll receive a flexible posting plan with suggested pacing so you can share your reels strategically without feeling overwhelmed (let’s be honest, sharing will likely still be uncomfortable if this is new for you).

  • 🎨 *BONUS* A Custom Artwork Featuring Your Words

    After our session, I’ll select a powerful quote from your interview and turn it into an artwork. This can be a keepsake, for social media, or even printed as a reminder of your truth and courage.

Meet Your Storytelling Partner

I am Life Escobar (they/them), a filmmaker, storyteller, and the founder of Awake Storytelling.

For over a decade, I have helped changemakers, nonprofits, and purpose-driven businesses share their stories in ways that move people to action.

There is nothing I love more than hearing people’s stories and lovingly witnessing them as they share them.

I believe that storytelling is more than just content—it’s a sacred practice, a tool for transformation, and a way to invite others into new possibilities.

Through deep listening and soulful creation, I help people uncover the heart of their work and share it in ways that feel authentic, compelling, and liberating.

Inviting Liberation is an extension of this mission—designed to help you share your truth with confidence, clarity, and heart.

  • Michaela Gaziano

    “I’ve got tears in my eyes and goosebumps on my arms :) Thank you so much for all your hard work on this, the story was told beautifully! ”

  • Eleanor Crooke

    "Let me tell you how easy talking to Life is. Every time I was struggling for words or anything, they're sitting there with their hand on their heart looking transfixed. This has just been cathartic. It has been a journey. I'm gonna take this with me."

  • “I just wanted to send a thank you note - you were AMAZING.  You have a great way of making people feel comfortable.  I really appreciated your energy.”

Over years of filmmaking, I’ve learned this:
The most powerful storytellers are not the most polished.
They’re the ones who feel safe enough to speak from the heart.
To share what matters.
To let their soul rise to the surface.

This is why I love interviewing.
Because I get to witness the moment someone relaxes into their truth.
The moment their voice becomes an offering.
When they speak of what they believe in, what they’ve experienced,
what they long to see in the world, my whole body hums.
My heart swells. My spirit soars.
It is holy to witness someone share what matters.

Interviewing can be ceremony.
The camera, a sacred vessel for presence and intention.
Storytelling, a practice of liberation.

Inviting Liberation is a space to experience that magic.
To speak from your depths.
To be witnessed with care.
To share your truth. Not to perform, but to make space for what matters.

You don’t need to have the “right” words.
You just need to come as you are.
Let what’s within you be seen.
Let your story breathe.

You are invited.

  • Why Storytelling?

    Stories are how we make meaning. They shape culture, connect us to each other, and invite people into shared vision. In a world where dominant narratives uphold oppressive systems, sharing your truth is a radical act. Your story has the power to disrupt, inspire, and move people to action.

  • Why Video?

    Video brings your story to life. Unlike static posts or written words, video allows people to see your expressions, hear your voice, and feel your presence—which creates a deeper emotional connection. It’s one of the most engaging and effective ways to communicate your truth and invite people into your work.

  • Why Show Yourself on Camera?

    Being on camera can feel vulnerable, but people connect with faces, voices, and presence. Seeing and hearing you helps your audience build trust, resonate with your message, and feel invited into relationship with you. That said, this is about choice. If you don’t want to be on camera, we can create voice-over reels with captions—ensuring your message is heard while honoring your comfort level.

  • Why Reels?

    Short-form video is one of the most powerful tools for visibility and engagement. Reels are more likely to reach new audiences. They allow you to deliver a potent message quickly, keeping people engaged while showcasing your story in a way that feels dynamic and alive.

  • Why Social Media?

    Many of us feel ambivalent about social media—rightfully so. These platforms weren’t built for liberation—but they are where our people gather, where movements take shape, and where stories can disrupt dominant narratives. We don’t post to serve the algorithm; we post to serve our communities. This is about using these tools with intention, on our terms, in ways that amplify truth and connection.

The Values Behind This Work

Storytelling is a sacred practice.

Every story is a gift. Sharing it is an act of truth-telling and transformation—for both the storyteller and the audience.

Being witnessed is healing.

Storytelling isn’t just about visibility—it’s about being truly seen, heard, and honored. This process is designed to feel safe, affirming, and deeply supportive.

Stories shape the world and disrupt oppression.

The systems we live under—capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy—thrive on silencing, shaming, and disconnecting us from our power. But when we share our truths, we challenge these systems. We remind each other that we are not alone, that we belong to the earth and to each other, and that together, we can imagine and build a world rooted in collective care.

Marketing should be rooted in connection, not extraction.

Your outreach isn’t about pressuring people into action—it’s about inviting them into a vision, into possibility, into relationship.

Collaboration over perfection.

You don’t need the perfect words or polished delivery. You just need space to be real—and a partner to help you shape that story into something powerful.

Sharing as an act of love and devotion to collective liberation.

You can’t control the outcome of sharing your stories, beliefs, and visions—but you can show up bravely, in partnership with someone who believes in the power of your voice. We can help each other break our silences. Sharing is an act of creation, a seed planted in service of the world you want to live in.

Your story, your consent.

Your story belongs to you. You never have to share anything you’re not ready to share. This process is about empowerment, not pressure. I will never push you to do something you don’t want to, but I will encourage you to step into your courage if and when you choose to. I welcome your boundaries, limits, preferences, and needs in this process.
