The Urban Rebirth Trilogy

I am Stephanie A. Pitoy — certified transformational life coach, corporate culture fixer, author, and founder of Sensei Red Lotus LLC. As a former PMO Senior Director with over two decades of experience across healthcare, health IT, nonprofit, and consulting, I now work at the intersection of culture, healing, governance, and creative expression — helping individuals and organizations rise with clarity, accountability, and grace.

My Urban Rebirth Trilogy is a journey of resilience, reinvention, and deliberate transformation — blending poetic reflection, practical insight, and deeply personal narrative to illuminate the path from adversity to sovereignty.

Witty, sharp, and unapologetically authentic, I bring humor and playful sass — my “witty girl with a panther tattoo” energy — threaded through every page, offering levity alongside hard-earned wisdom.

With ten toes grounded in sand, grass, and concrete — from Hawai‘i to New York City — I write from lived experience as a Gen X AAPI woman, single mother, LLC founder, and thought leader navigating life across oceans, cities, and generations.

A Memoir in Three Movements — The Lotus, The Phoenix, The Rebuild

Lotus in the Concrete – Roots and Bloom

Memoir 1 chronicles my “dark winter” of 2025, turning professional upheaval and personal challenge into a lived curriculum for rebuilding. This installment uniquely blends memoir, art, humor, and signature metaphors drawn from my background in enterprise SaaS and project management, offering inspiration and actionable frameworks for navigating life transitions with clarity and courage.

SaaS x SaSS Collab — Fire and Alignment

Memoir 2, SaaS x SaSS Collab, captures the Fire Horse spirit as Pitoy rebuilds my life from lived experience — not from ground zero. Leaning into where I've been, I create a life of abundance while shedding a lack mindset, navigating challenges with courage, strategy, and confidence. This is not a typical corporate framework, but a philosophy for living and leading — where SaaS brings structure and SaSS brings spirit. At its core, the mirror becomes the tool for self-collaboration: to confront shadows, honor wins, and choose how to respond — because growth is presence, awareness, and joy.

A Sojourner in NYC – Sustenance and Flow

The final installment is a reflective, aesthetic, and sensory exploration of city life, art, and midlife transformation. Designed as an art and coffee-table book, it introduces the Solo Table Theory: showing up for yourself like a boss. For the first 14 years of being a New Yorker, I  spent 160+ hours per month dedicated to work. Memoir 3 is about reclaiming work-life balance — truly exploring the fabulous city I live in. Museums, city parks, and walking the city block to block become part of the journey. Cafés, lounges, and restaurants transform into personal stages. One coffee, one notebook, one city buzzing all around — fully seen by myself first, letting the world catch up. Solo never looked this chic — or this unapologetically fun.

Rise, Reimagine, Reclaim: Your Urban Rebirth

Together, the trilogy explores resilience, fire, creativity, and midlife transformation, blending memoir, art, humor, and signature metaphors from my professional and personal journey. Guided by Lotus, Phoenix, and Fire Horse — roots, fire, and fearless energy — it honors personal growth, cultural heritage, and the intentional creation of one’s life. The Urban Rebirth Trilogy is for anyone rebuilding after crossroads, seeking clarity, inspiration, and actionable frameworks for navigating change with grace, curiosity, and courage.

• The Underbelly™ — naming the shadow ledger of unspoken friction
• The Kitchen Sink™ — surfacing every pain point without spin or apology
• Onus/Kuleana™ — ownership as responsibility, stewardship, and care
