hi, I’m Stephannie.

I’m a big feeler and audacious dreamer.

2016

in a 15-year marriage to a man raising 2 teenagers, and quietly noticing a confusing shift—an attraction to women.

navigating burnout from my yoga therapy studio and 2-years into building a program—make peace with stress.

2017

struggling with my feelings, marriage, parenting, addiction and business daily. considered jumping out of a window.

diagnosed with melanoma, had surgery, and during the harder than expected recovery, acknowledged I’m gay.

2018

afraid and determined to stay quiet, spiraled into numbing, came out to one friend felt a bit of short-lived relief.

struggling to be present in my life, got high and fainted at a dinner party, and knew in my heart, I had to get sober.

2019

clear and accepting myself more and more, came out to my husband and family, started thinking about what next.

upgraded and grew make peace with stress, built 2 other yoga therapy programs, and started a private mentorship.

2020

quarantined but already online business expands, family connection deepens, decide to make the most of time.

trial separation, met and fell in-love with a woman online (cliché, I know), and took a 2000+ mile journey to meet.

2021

moved out of our family’s home, started sharing custody, got divorced, had an epic love story, and made a lot of mistakes.

sober and facing the challenges of upending my live, and my kids’ lives, growing my business and my new relationship.

2022

turned 50, launched my first-born, and got my heart broken which initiated a period of deep grieving and also healing.

smoking pot again, writing about my feelings, reconnected with making art, and had my best ever year in business.

2023

making art, set up a home studio, gifted a giant (60X72”!) frame and learned to stretch canvas, painted my first series.

life-changing adventures, a lot of challenges figuring out my new life, deepened my relationship with myself.
