Feeling stuck bringing your ideas to life?
If you’re struggling to express your thoughts clearly and authentically, you’re not alone. Here are some common challenges you might be facing as you create innovative and impactful academic manuscripts, grant proposals, annual reports, textbooks, instructional materials, and other professional documents:
-
Perfectionism
Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of endless revisions—striving for perfection but never feeling satisfied?
-
Constrained Voice
Is it challenging to express your authentic voice within the confines of restrictive genres and conventions?
-
Impact Concerns
Do you worry that your work might not achieve the impact you hope for despite your dedication?
-
Fragmented Focus
Do distractions and competing priorities make it hard to dedicate time to deep, meaningful work?
Your voice and vision deserve to be heard—I can help.

Drafting and Development

Hi, I’m Rebekah Gordon, PhD (she/her).
I'm a creative scholar and education consultant with a passion for helping others find their authentic voice. With a PhD in curriculum, instruction, and teacher education from Michigan State University and over 15 years of teaching experience across the globe, I have guided countless writers in expressing their unique perspectives.
My path hasn't been without its challenges. After becoming a mother, I faced the overwhelming decision of whether to continue my doctoral studies. By embracing my identity as a motherscholar, I began to unfurl my voice and commit to work that was deeply meaningful to me. This experience taught me the importance of balancing conventional expectations with personal authenticity, a lesson I carry into all my professional endeavors.
I’m passionate about the transformative power of empathy and community in spaces that often feel overly critical and isolating. Despite the increasing sophistication of AI-powered tools, I still believe that the creative and caring support of a human is unparalleled. My journey has equipped me with the insights and understanding to help others navigate their own challenges with confidence and joy.

“Rebekah—look at these fiddlehead ferns!”
“Those are ferns? They’re so tiny! Where are all the fronds?”
“They’re rolled up and tucked away in there. The fiddlehead protects them as they emerge from the ground. With the right conditions, they will unfurl and reveal their beauty.”
The wisdom my father shared during one of our many walks in the forest has stuck with me. To this day, ferns are one of my favorite plants. Witnessing their remarkable transformation from tightly coiled fiddlehead to lush, vibrant plant has helped me understand self-preservation and the delicate journey to reaching one’s full potential.
This inspiration behind “Unfurling Voices” reflects the ongoing process of developing, adapting, and expressing our voices. My goal is to support you in fostering the ideal environment for your ideas and your voice to unfurl. Imagine the impact you could have when you reveal what’s been coiled inside.
