Stephanie is a veteran, single mother, Choctaw descendant and lifelong spiral-walker-someone who has unraveled the deepest threads of trauma, identity, love, and fire, and chosen to write her way through it. A storyteller with a soldier's grit and a mystic's sensitivity, she writes from the rawest parts of herself, not to be heard, but to help others finally feel seen.

Her words refuse polish for polish's sake. Instead, they strike like emotional lightning-imperfect, unforgettable, and real. Stephanie believes writing is not just expression but exorcism; not just catharsis, but ceremony. She stands for the broken, the burned, and the rebuilding. Always rebuilding.
