Meet Your Mentor...

Hi, I'm Stephanie. I'm a brand storyteller, Human Design coach, and connector of seemingly un-connectible ideas.

I teach visionary entrepreneurs and leaders how to turn their zones of genius into a movement-worthy message that increases their visibility and impact with joy and confidence.

Everyone has a unique story and message that can change the world. But it’s hard to crystallize it on your own. Trust me, I’ve been there.

For 15+ years I've created content marketing magic for do-good startups and organizations like Planned Parenthood and Teach For America. When it came to promoting myself – I’d get tongue-tied and hide out. But when I uncovered my authentic brand story, I could speak powerfully about what I do to anyone.

Since 2019, I’ve coached others to go from best-kept secret to undeniable authority in their fields. The Own Your Message method taps my experience as a former journalist, public radio producer, writing teacher and marketing director to help you mine the hidden gems of your story to create a unique lane that’s all your own.

Is Own Your Message right for me?

✅ Own Your Message is a strong fit if:

You're a purpose-powered coach, entrepreneur or aspiring thought leader
You're done with fitting a mold or following marketing trends that don't feel like you
Standing out as a unique service provider or thought leader is a top priority for your biz
Your messaging feels generic and you're leaving part of you off the table
You're self-directed and thrive in DIY-environments

❌ This course isn't a fit if:

You're looking to follow marketing trends or "one-size-fits-all" methods
You're seeking technical marketing how-to training (e.g. instagram strategy, copywriting)
Defining your brand positioning and message isn't a high priority right now
You don't like doing "inner" work and prefer to keep your brand presence "strictly business"
