 The Noise Around & WithinÂ
The world is so incredibly noisy right now. Others demand (or we demand of ourselves) that we shift priorities, move things along more quickly, and do more with less. But,...
Have you ever felt nothing but restlessness during some meditations? Maybe your mind wouldn’t stop racing, or your body wouldn't be still, or waves of emotion came up that you weren’t expecting.Â

One thing the mind is great at is wandering. While you're thinking about past conversations, beating yourself up for what you did or did not say or making assumptions about other people's actions, tho...
I’m in the midst of reading Jack Kornfield’s A Path With Heart. It’s one of those books that teaches you something new on every reading.
One line that calls to me is: “Difficulties or weaknesses ofte...
Lately I’ve been noticing how much our energy really does move in waves. You may see it in your own life—the way energy rises and falls based on eating patterns, or how it shifts after a positive inte...

 I’ve been feeling the pull toward quiet.
After a full summer — hosting the Resilient JD Summit, preparing for the MILS conference — part of me is just longing for stillness. That’s why I’m grateful ...
As some of you know, I left the practice of law to care for my mom. Well, along with that comes certain unexpected things — one of which is a steady diet of Murder, She Wrote.
You know the one — wher...

Kind Words About Stephanie
"Stephanie is a thoughtful coach, guiding with insightful pacing and placing caches of wisdom within reach. She was faultlessly professional and generous. I appreciated her patience, wisdom, warmth, and humor."Â
-Catherine
"It’s been two years since our work together. While I still have not built that regular meditation practice, I do practice mindfulness daily. I’m mindful of what I eat—even when I make an unhealthy choice.Â
I’m mindful of my thoughts. I’m able to move things out of my mind, but also able to process thoughts that I need to address.
I’m mindful of what’s going on in my body. The mindfulness lessons led me to finally change/manage my relationship with food. I'm eating at home 90% of the time.
I’ve also developed a regular exercise routine/habit, resulting in weight loss, lower cholesterol, and improved overall health.Â
And a lot has changed. I got married. I changed jobs. I moved across the country to the place closest to my heart. That’s a lot. It could’ve been stressful. Well, it was actually. But you gave me tools. And I use them as needed.
I wanted to check in to let you know how your former pupil was doing and to say thank you!! You helped me change my life for real!Â

"Stephanie is one of the most engaging and calming speakers I have ever had the pleasure of viewing virtually. Her energy floats through the screen and you can almost feel it!Â
Over the last year, I’ve attended dozens of virtual presentations but none like what Stephanie delivered. She spoke to my organization on the benefits of wellness, mindfulness, and meditation. She used both common practices and also introduced a handful of new tactics to engage our audience. She seamlessly interacted with our group through a computer screen and made us feel as though we were sitting in a live audience!Â
She has this natural ability to make you want to listen to what she has to say and feel comfortable when invited to participate. Stephanie certainly knows how to bring a group of people together in not only a compelling manner, but one where even weeks after her presentation many of her words are left ringing in my ear as small reminders from the lessons she left us with.
I can’t recommend Stephanie enough and only hope I’m lucky enough to hear her speak again soon!"
