In this raw and vulnerable episode, I open up about one of the darkest seasons of my life—the unraveling that began when our oldest daughter moved across the country with our first grandchild. What followed was a deep spiral into depression, emotional disconnect, and ultimately, choices I never thought I’d make.

For years, I believed that pushing pain down and pretending I was “fine” was strength. But when life hit harder than ever, everything I’d buried came to the surface. In this episode, I share how that season led me to walk away from church, from God, and from the version of myself I once knew.

This is the part of my story I didn’t want to tell. But I’m telling it now—because Jesus told the man He healed in John 5 to pick up his mat and walk… not to leave it behind. And now, I’m carrying my mat—not as a symbol of shame, but as proof that healing is real. This is my testimony.

In this empowering episode, Stephanie peels back the layers of what it really takes to become an entrepreneur—especially as a woman in midlife. Spoiler alert: it’s not just strategy and spreadsheets. It’s faith, grit, obedience, and the courage to move even when you're scared.

She shares her personal journey of starting Belle Âme Esthetics—how she questioned her qualifications, pushed through fear, and said yes to God’s call even when the path didn’t make sense on paper. From battling imposter syndrome to ignoring the voices that said, “You’re not ready,” Stephanie reveals how trusting God’s voice over the crowd changed everything.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough or wondered if it’s too late to begin—this episode will speak straight to your soul.

Plus, she gives a shoutout to the powerful impact of community, mentorship, and why there’s no one-size-fits-all path when God is writing your story.

In this episode of Beyond Beauty with Stephanie, I’m joined by Holly Odogwu, the powerhouse behind Autism Meets Faith. Holly flips the script and interviews me about the heart behind Belle Âme Esthetics—why I started it, what it stands for, and how it became more than just a skincare studio.

We talk about my mission to support women in midlife, and how that includes giving back to moms of special needs children—women who are often forgotten when it comes to rest and self-care. Each month, I donate a HydroDiamond™ Facial to one of these amazing moms, hoping to give her even just one hour to breathe, relax, and feel seen.

This episode is full of faith, purpose, and the reminder that self-care is not selfish—it’s necessary. If you’re a mom, an entrepreneur, or someone who just needs a little encouragement today, this one’s for you.

Want to support Autism Meets Faith?
You can donate, volunteer, or share their mission with a family raising a child with special needs who could use extra support and community. Holly and her team are doing beautiful, life-giving work—and every little bit helps.

In this episode of Beyond Beauty with Stephanie, we’re tackling a tough but necessary truth: your feelings are real—but they’re not always right. Just because something feels true doesn’t mean it is truth.

Stephanie opens up about the importance of aligning our emotions with God’s Word, not letting them run wild and lead us into fear, doubt, or disobedience. When life gets messy—and oh, it will—our emotions can cloud our vision. But God’s truth? It never changes. We’re called to walk by faith, not by what we feel in the moment.

If you’ve ever let your emotions steer the ship (hey, we all have), this episode will meet you with grace, wisdom, and some straight-up soul truth. Let’s get back to center—back to the Word—and remember that peace isn’t found in feelings, it’s found in Him.
