Tell Me More

Welcome to a SAFE space to be vulnerable & to embody your authentic self.

This is a safe place to discuss everything taboo (politics, religion, sex). My personal journey includes severe mental illness post-military service, particularly during the luteal phase of my life. Being a combat veteran and military sexual trauma survivor (MST) was directly related to the almost lethal transition for me into the civilian sector.

The transition from military service was coupled with my first massive spiritual awakening. The journey dang near took me out a handful of times. I could have been one of the 22; I beat the statistics. I've made it my life's purpose to head back into the fire to carry buckets of water to help others out of the flames.

No one should ever have to feel they are all alone, or going batsh!t crazy. Sometimes you are not crazy and your feelings are valid, and you just need someone to see you and hear you. Say less, I got you, fam :)

Welcome to my page; this is my artistic expression & this is my story. Get cozy, get comfortable, you just might be here for a while. Enjoy :)

Disclaimer: I am not everyone’s cup of tea

Impulsive | Wild | Emotional | Bossy | Aggressive | Chaotic

Many of those adjectives I just listed often come with negative connotations, especially during the luteal phase of my cycle when emotions can run high. I fought my true self for too many years. For years, I repressed anger and the savage tendencies I picked up from the Corps. I denied feelings because they were considered undesirable traits in a woman. You know what? F that nonsense. I am who I am, and I love all the qualities about me. I trigger people all the time, and I have learned to be okay with that. Growth happens right outside your comfort zone. I’m here to fck sht up. I am wild & free & free to be me. I am not here to be liked; I am here to create ripples in the time-space continuum. I’m all about love and light and get that BS out my face. I am a Marine Corps combat veteran & mother, and you cannot take the savage out of me. Fair warning, you’ve been warned, I am raw, uncut, and often explicit. Browse at your own risk.

Stephanie’s own journey through the male-dominated world of the military has fueled her passion to empower women from all walks of life. After years of grappling with the aftermath of a sexual assault during her time in the Marine Corps, she emerged with an unwavering determination to help others overcome their own traumas, much like navigating the emotional fluctuations women experience during the luteal phase. Stephanie is a trailblazer, using her hard-won wisdom to inspire women to no longer compromise their authentic selves.

Unite

Empower

Stephanie is on a mission to unite women veterans and women warriors, creating a sacred space where they can come together to support one another and reclaim their power. Drawing from her own experiences navigating the male-dominated military industry and the aftermath of sexual assault, she is building a community of resilient women who refuse to be silenced. In this safe haven, they can share their stories, heal their wounds, and find strength in solidarity during every phase of their lives, including the luteal phase, which often brings its own challenges. United as a formidable 'good old girl gang,' these SHEroes are empowering each other to thrive, both individually and collectively. Stephanie's vision is to cultivate a sisterhood of women who lift each other up, transcending the divisive forces that so often kept them apart. Through this unity, they will rise as beacons of inspiration, transforming their own lives and uplifting their broader community.
