All of them. Yours. Mine.

Stories are how hearts and minds are connected. They are how we come to understand ourselves better, both internally and in relation to the world. How we learn about each other. How we grow as humans. How we develop compassion, empathy, and acceptance.

That’s why my life’s work, beyond my own writing, is to help writers find clarity on their stories, build strong habits, and strengthen their mindsets so that the stories on their hearts can finally get out of their heads, onto the page, and out into the world.

Stories Matter.

What folks have to say:

  • I was given a platform geared to what I needed and wanted that made sense and felt right. I got encouragement and given space enough to use the suggestions and new ideas given/suggested for me. I felt listened to, heard, understood and was questioned out of my comfort zone as needed. I was even able to do this for myself at the end. Wonderful. I now have a much clearer vision and feel grounded enough top be able to question myself as I go along where needed. I believe in my book. I came into this wondering if I was just wasting my time and everyone else’s. Not anymore!

  • Stephanie has been there every step of the way to celebrate my achievements and support me out of dark holes that have made writing difficult. Her insights into the writing process have been enormously helpful. The most exciting part for me is how much my literary skills have grown since we began working together.

  • Stephanie is amazing! I have always dreamed of writing a book and it has never been closer to a reality than after working with Stephanie. This program helped me know my characters and plan my story better than anything I’ve ever tried before! It is worth every penny!
