Personal Details

Bio

A.Y. Berthiaume is a professional writer, native Vermonter, practicing feminist, recovering middle child, wannabe superhero, and a mom who’s pretty sure she’s “winging it”. She holds an M.F.A. in creative writing and is the Lady Boss Owner of The Write Place, Right Time, her virtual boutique of copywriting and ghostwriting services. Whether she's writing for herself or her clients, Berthiaume believes in emotionally compelling, honest, and powerful stories that are told in an authentic voice, come straight from the heart, and celebrate bravery, grit, and hope. If you can catch her not doing all the things, she's probably drinking Maple Lattes in a coffee shop, getting lost in a bookstore, or binge-watching something on Netflix in her sweatpants while she eats ridiculous amounts of movie-theater-style popcorn.

Presentations

Presentations (4)
Listening to the Universe, leaning into your intuition, and braving your own path.

Topic: looking back and recognizing the nudges from the universe that have always been there, trying to guide you and teach you, and ways to brave becoming who you want to be.

My memoir, Dear Universe, I Get it Now: Letters on the Art and Journey of Being Brave and Being Me is full of stories I can draw from that speak to a long journey of ignoring my internal voice and knowing, constantly being in toxic relationships that kept me small, and always looking for permission and validation outside of myself. All of these things blew down my house of cards just before I jumped on the entrepreneurial path.

You Are Here: Self-Understanding and Awareness as your Due North in Business and in Life

The more we know about ourselves, the more at home we are within ourselves, the more intentional we can be about the decisions we make in business and in life. We may not get to call the shots when we work for someone else but as entrepreneurs with self-made businesses, we get to design our businesses and brands however we want. And the more authentic and genuine we are the more success we’ll see.

Transcending Your Purpose into Pain – The Healing and Art of Memoir for You and for Others

Interested in writing a memoir but terrified of sounding like its a “woe-is-me” whine-fest and “all about me” show? Curious how you’re supposed to intentionally craft some of your most painful life moments into meaningful prose for your reader? Let’s discuss how to transcend that pain into purpose that serves both you and others.

Who Cares About My Story? The benefits of writing a book that’s about you when you run a business.

Your coach, your best friend, your power partner, and your clients have all said, “You should write a book.” Maybe you think that the only option you have as a business owner or entrepreneur is to write one that’s all about what you do in this world. You’ll teach them your method or your framework or how to get the results you often lead them to when they work with you. Those are all good options. But are you leaving yourself out of it? Or what if those options don’t speak to you and you’re more interested in writing something deeper and more personal? There are benefits to sharing parts of yourself and your story within your book or making your entire book about you even if you’re aiming to serve them (your future clients). Let’s dive in.
