About Me
Hi, I’m Steph.
Writer, mother, creative, and quiet reclaim-er of self.
This space was born out of a need—a need to breathe, to hear myself again, and to honor the woman I’ve been slowly becoming beneath the surface of motherhood, marriage, and daily life.

For a long time, I lived in a kind of emotional survival mode. I kept things afloat. I managed logistics. I cared deeply for others. But in the process, I lost touch with the quiet, expressive part of me—the part that reflects, creates, and tells the truth.
This blog is part of my healing journey—one that spans
🌿 self-reclamation after years of imbalance,
🌿 emotional clarity in the midst of hard relationship patterns,
🌿 rediscovery of creative passion,
🌿 and the choice to live more peacefully, intentionally, and wholeheartedly.
I’m currently in a yearlong process of writing my way through this reclamation. Month by month, I’ll share reflections, questions, creative notes, and lived truths. My posts are honest but grounded, tender but clear. This space isn’t for polished perfection—it’s for deep breaths, quiet awakenings, and moments of realignment.
Outside the blog, I’m also slowly building a creative branding studio born from my love of branding, storytelling, and meaningful design. And at home, I’m raising a bright, sensitive toddler who teaches me daily about presence, repair, and joy in the small things.
If you’re navigating a similar in-between space, I hope this corner of the internet helps you feel less alone.
Welcome to my return.
To myself. To peace. To what matters.
​
—Steph
