My Story

My life’s purpose is to be the sunshine that warms people’s faces.

Up until 2019 I had spent my entire life meeting other people’s expectations. I felt like I had been happily and easily checking boxes: graduate high school (check), graduate college (check), get a job (check). My career was a side-gig to living my life. My heart was dedicated to spending time with friends and family and never once did I feel passionate about any path.

That all changed with a hard truth from a good friend; “Stephanie, I think you could be doing more with your life.” Both a punch to the gut, and a vote of confidence, I laughed and decided to dig into the conversation. The short version goes something like this:

“Great, and what do you propose I do?”

“I don’t know. But you are personable, intelligent, and your talents are being wasted sitting at a desk.”

“I really appreciate you saying all that. I just don’t know what to do. I don’t hate this job, and there’s nothing else that seems like something I would enjoy more.”

“True. Too bad there’s not a job where you could help other people figure out what they want to do with theirs lives. I think you’d be both great at it, and passionate about it.”

“Yeah, you’re right. Too bad that job doesn’t exist.”

Turns out…it does. I met my coach in November of 2018 after my roommate mentioned she knew someone that did exactly what it was I wanted to pursue. After a two-hour exchange full of energy and warmth in which I bombarded Morgan with questions, it was obvious that coaching was my vocation. I hired Morgan in April of 2019 and have, officially, been on the path to better myself and others since.

In November of 2019, I took my first CTI (Co-Active Training Institute) course: Fundamentals. I hope to complete training by the end of 2021.

As I go through my journey of discovering how to be the best version of myself and how to make the most positive impact to the world around me, I’m looking for naturally creative, resourceful, whole people to partner with. I’m not here to fix people. I’m not here to give advice. I am here to give space, hold you accountable, cheer you on, be a nonjudgmental ear, whiteboard/brainstorm, push you out of your comfort zone, hold your agenda, and be the sunshine that warms your face and puts a pep in your step to start momentum.

Let’s create, grow, be, and move together.
