Hello! I’m Stephanie.

I believe in the power of stories to transform hearts, build connection, and glorify God.

As a writer and speaker, I use the gifts God has given me to share stories that matter—stories of pain and healing, loss and redemption, everyday life and extraordinary grace. Whether I’m sharing moments from my own journey or helping someone else tell theirs, I know that a well-told story can be the spark that leads to healing, hope, and meaningful change.

I work with those who long to bring their stories to life—guiding them in their own writing or serving as a ghostwriter to craft their message with clarity and heart.

In addition to personal histories, I’ve authored several books, including:

  • A Single Bead – an award-winning, best-selling Catholic young adult novel published by Pauline Books and Media.

  • Mac’s Mission Diary – a heartwarmingly funny middle grade fiction

  • The Bead by Bead series – family-friendly books designed to help parents teach their children to love the prayer of the Rosary

Through my speaking engagements, I share openly from the trials and triumphs of my own life. My husband’s near-death, the years spent as his caregiver while raising our five children, the heartache of addiction and infidelity, and the journey of rebuilding as a single mother.

These stories aren’t easy, but they’re real. And they’ve taught me that, even in the darkest seasons, we can live with joy and peace when we place our trust in God.

I’ve spoken to audiences large and small, young and old, offering keynotes, retreats, workshops, and author visits that inspire and uplift. My speaking style is transparent, warm, and rooted in the belief that our hardest experiences often hold the seeds of our greatest callings.

I look forward to speaking with you to learn how my gifts might help you or your organization. Please click the contact button below so we can connect!
