Stephanie's Transformational Life Story

(Gen X) Single Mother of a (Gen Z) Daughter

Together, we made the bold move (4,968 miles) from Hawaii to New York in the Summer of 2012 to start new lives. It’s been the best decision for us both.

Reset, Refocus, Readjust, Restart

These four (4) Rs have been and continue to be the catalysts for the chapters of my transformational life story. Each decade of my life (from my 20s through my 50s) has presented its share of challenges to overcome. I persevered. I spent much time in deep reflection and made conscious choices for my higher good.

The keys to becoming the best version of myself have been and continue to be:

• Forgiveness
• Releasing what no longer serves me
• Knowing my worth
• Grace under fire
• Being the calm in the storm
