ABOUT STEPHANIE
My journey to motherhood was not an easy one.
I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but I struggled with infertility for years. Even through the heartbreak, I never gave up on the dream. I just found myself being called in a different direction—adoption.
One day, my sister, a writer for the Chicago Tribune, sent me an article about Chinese adoption. That single article shifted everything. I attended an adoption agency meeting, and something deep inside me said, This is the way. I was all in.
That decision led me to the greatest blessings of my life—my two beautiful daughters. Becoming their mother was a dream come true, and raising them filled my heart in ways I never imagined.
Fast forward many years later, and like so many other moms, I faced another life-altering moment: they left for college. I was proud of them, of course—but I was also heartbroken. The house was quiet. My role had changed. And for the first time in a long time, I had to ask myself: Who am I now?
That question led me on a new journey—a journey of rediscovery, healing, and personal growth.
Today, I help other women who are facing the same transition. Women who have poured their hearts into motherhood and now find themselves in an unfamiliar space, wondering what’s next. Through coaching and compassionate support, I guide them to reconnect with their identity, uncover new passions, and step confidently into this next chapter.
Because your story doesn’t end when your children leave home—it evolves. And so can you.

Stephanie helped me find myself again.
I didn’t realize how lost I felt after my kids moved out until we started working together. Her coaching gave me space to process everything and the support to start moving forward. I feel more like me again, and for that, I’m incredibly grateful.
