Your Story Deserves to Be Told And You Deserve Support While Writing It.
I'm Kayla Volturno, and I help survivors write their memoirs with structure, strategy, and compassion.
If you've been starting and stopping your story for months (or years), feeling overwhelmed every time you try to organize your experiences into something coherent, you're not alone, and you're not doing anything wrong.
You need a different approach.
Here's How I Can Help You:
Tier 1: Community & Teaching
For survivors who need support, connection, and weekly guidance.
Inside Beyond the Red House, you get:
• A safe, judgment-free community of trauma survivors
• Weekly teaching videos on healing, boundaries, and writing as processing
• Monthly live Q&A where you can ask me anything
• Two self-paced courses (Unsent Letters + Toxic Family Boundaries)
• Weekly writing prompts to help you process
Perfect for: Anyone navigating healing, no contact, family estrangement, or breaking cycles—whether you’re writing a memoir or not.

🎙️ Listen to the Podcast
Every week on Beyond the Red House, I share insights on memoir writing, trauma healing, and the messy journey of breaking cycles. My mission is to remind you that your story matters and your voice has power.
📚 Read My Story
My memoir, I Was Once The Girl In The Red House, is proof that this method works. See the structural approach in action and understand how I can help you do the same.
Why Trust Me?
I spent 10 years stuck trying to write my memoir. I'd start, shut down for months, feel isolated and overwhelmed, and wonder if I'd ever finish.
Then I stopped trying to write without structure. I built a trauma-informed framework that honored my story and my well-being, and I finally finished.
Now, as a trauma-informed writing strategist, I teach other survivors the exact method I used so they don't have to spend a decade figuring it out alone.
Your Story Matters. Let Me Help You Tell It.
