All things voicey.
Writer, editor, singer — expresser of the genuine stuff.
I use my voice for a living. On the page. On stage. In the room where it’s happenin’.
If you want mine in the mix — or help mining your own — let’s get together (yeah, yeah, yeah).
I’m here for it all:
When your Notes app is full of brilliance and breakdowns — and you need someone who speaks both.
When your mind is moving so fast and still only circling the thing. I’m here to bulls-eye that sucker.
When you’re trying to write something 14-year-old you would’ve tacked to your bedroom wall (next to movie stubs and dreamcatchers).
When you want to stop people in their tracks, rewire their nervous system, and spark actual change — but, like, with personality (all yours).
On paper
Want a living, breathing voice dictation? Looking to make your message do a little song and dance? (Ha.) Check out what I do and how I work.
On stage
She’s been the O.G. Good Witch and Rizzo? I’ve got no interest in hiring a musical theater actress, but I’m hella curious what she sounds like…
On call
Want to feel things out? Collab? Spitball? Drop me a line (or five). Yeah, I drew an old-school telephone — but I prefer written comms almost always.
Wait. Who the hell are you?
I’m Vanessa Childers.
Multi-hyphenate baddie.
Fierce defender of the em dash.
Always chasing a common thread.
What can I say? I like lines.
Saying the thing is kinda my jam.
Not for shock value or applause.
But because faking a smile used to be my full-time job, and honestly? I quit.
Now I say the thing — the real thing — and I help other recovering people-pleasers do the same.
Wanna make something honest together?
