Good stories deserve an audience.
We find the story people want to hear, turn it into an angle they can’t ignore, and put it in front of the journalists, podcast hosts, and media outlets already looking for it.

Story Finder
You don’t need more content. You need a story worth talking about.
There are incredible people doing incredible things who nobody has heard of.
Meanwhile, people with less interesting stories show up in articles, podcasts, interviews, and inboxes every day.
The difference isn’t always the accomplishment.
Sometimes, someone simply knew how to tell the story.
That’s what we do.
First we find the thing people actually care about.
PR isn’t about shouting louder. It’s about finding the right story, the right angle, and the right person to tell it to.
Find the Story
We dig past the polished bio and find the part of your story that makes someone stop and want to know more.
Find the Angle
One story can become a business story, a reinvention story, a money story, a human-interest story, or something completely unexpected.
Find the People
We research journalists, editors, podcast hosts, and media outlets whose audiences already care about the conversation.
Make the Pitch
Then we package the story into a pitch that gives the right person a reason to want to hear more.
Pam Allen
Pam spent most of her working life waiting tables. She didn’t come from tech, marketing, or the corporate world.
In her early 50s, she got serious about building an online business teaching women how to create and sell digital products.
In 2024, that business generated $10,000. In 2025, it generated $180,000.
But Pam’s story isn’t really about a revenue screenshot. It’s about what can happen when a woman decides her 50s aren’t too late to build an entirely different life.
Aquita Shepherd
Aquita started building her online business in 2023 while still teaching full time.
She was building around a classroom, a husband, a daughter, and aging parents.
She wanted to be more involved in her daughter’s school. She wanted to be room mom, go on field trips, and be there for the moments that were hard to make when she was responsible for a classroom of her own.
So Aquita built differently.
She used AI to shorten the work, created systems that could keep working, focused on recurring revenue, and built a real online presence through YouTube.
Those ideas now sit at the center of Coaching That Clicks.
Now she’s building toward becoming a millionaire by 50 and creating enough freedom for her husband to retire too.

This isn’t about squeezing people into a PR formula. It’s about finding the part of your experience, work, perspective, or results that gives someone a reason to lean in and ask the next question.
I kept seeing incredible people nobody was talking about.
I’ve spent years in the online business world, surrounded by entrepreneurs, creators, teachers, and people building genuinely interesting things.
And I started noticing something.
The people getting attention weren’t always the people with the most interesting stories.
They were often just the people whose stories were being told.
Sadie Smiley Media exists to find those overlooked stories, figure out why people should care, and get them in front of the people who can help tell them.
I don’t want to make everybody sound impressive in the same way. I want to find the thing that makes you impossible to confuse with anybody else.
The story is only the beginning.
