My Story
As a reformed higher education professional, I’ve always been passionate about helping people reach their goals and potential. After experiencing firsthand the transformative power of working with a life coach and seeing its incredible impact on my life, I wanted to share that same sense of empowerment and growth with other women. I quickly noticed a trend among my clients: they were held back by their own negative self-talk and self-doubt, much like I had been. This realization led me to focus on helping women silence their inner critic, embrace their strengths, and create the life they really want to live.

Hi, I'm Steph!
I’ve been where you are.
I had gone from…
A seemingly on-paper “perfect” life as a single mom with the sweetest little boy.
To…
A single mom with the sweetest middle schooler, essentially homeless after a move.
Struggling with the aftermath of a sexual assault at a work event.
Unemployed.
Living off a combination of retirement funds, inspirational social media posts, and forced smiles.
It looked like I had it all together on the outside, but inside I was dying.
After I poured my heart out to my coach (complete with snotty, ugly crying), she calmly said, “You know, Stephanie, there is no power outside of you greater than the power inside of you.”
That statement was quite literally the beginning of my transformation journey.
The truth is…
I was using my power to doubt, shame, and belittle myself, keeping myself stuck and scared.
I wasn’t even on my own damn team.
I felt powerless over everything going on in my life.
My negative self-talk was off the charts.
My mindset was garbage.
I had no goals or plan - all I knew was something had to change.
And I knew it was me.
The good news is…
Though life can be hard and leave us with loads of hurt, no matter what: there is no power outside of us that is greater than the power inside us.
My mission is to help you end negative self-talk and upgrade your mindset so you can get out of your own way and create the life you truly want to live.
No more wondering if this is it, hoping you haven’t already peaked in life.
No more settling for less than you desire and deserve.
Ready to end the negative self-talk so you can create the life you truly want?
