About Us

In a digital world world that's more disconnected than ever

Stories that Stir™ is about creating human connection.

Meet Monica!

Monica spent over two decades working in the media, before creating Stories that Stir™, with her artist husband, Joram. After working as a Producer for Nine Network’s ‘A Current Affair’, she founded her own PR agency, where for 22 years, she helped thousands of professionals, craft and amplify their story to millions through mass media.

While running her PR agency, she did a stand up comedy course for fun, and ended up performing on the comedy circuit for 5 years, culminating in shows in Sydney Fringe Festival and Sydney Comedy Festival.

She found herself sharing her stories on stage through comedy, various storytelling events and as a keynote speaker, and loved it!

During COVID lockdown, she mentioned to her husband Joram that she missed the stage, human connection and storytelling. His response was, “why don’t we just start our own storytelling event?”

She got goosebumps. “Let’s do it!”

And Stories that Stir™ was born!

The Stories that Stir™ event concept is designed to break down barriers, stir conversation and inspire positive change.

At each event, six people share a raw and personal story linked to a theme. Themes are juicy, emotive topics such as FREEDOM, TRUTH, EXPECTATIONS, CONNECTION etc.

Audience members rave about how good it feels to spend a lovely evening, listening to other people’s funny, moving, and inspiring stories and how connected to humanity the event makes them feel.
