hi i’m stephi!

Dreamer, story teller & your go-to-gal for nostalgic adventures

I’m a visual story teller, creative & I believe the closest thing to magic is creating something that doesn’t yet exist from your imagination. I think there is something so beautiful in story-telling and film-making. There is something so magical about transforming your ideas and vision into a reality that others can see and get inspired from too. My goal is to share something that I can be proud of creating and find myself again through this process.

I grew up thinking that there was only one way to achieve success. My parents had the belief that if you were not a doctor, lawyer or engineer, then you were not successful. This played a huge part in my own belief of my self worth and understanding of what being successful meant. I grew up striving for achievement after achievement. I was a perfectionist. Perfect, perform, improve was my daily mantra. And as I checked off the necessary boxes of what I thought would bring success, I could not figure out why I could not be happy with what I had accomplished. On the outside, it may have looked like I had everything with the achievements I put in front of me, but I really was empty inside. I realize now it was because I lived a life where I was not true to myself. I grasped for achievements that didn’t align with what I wanted in my core. Instead, my pursuits were driven by what I thought was expected of me & I built a wall around myself.

I now realize that it never mattered what others thought or said. It’s not their life to build, it’s yours. Do it for you and no one else. Let go of the constraints of your inner struggles & your world will open up. This shift is why I’m tearing down my old wall and building something new. I’m creating a better foundation for myself. One that comes from within & aligns with my core values. I know a better life is out there for me. I want to also inspire you to build for yourself as well. You too can go where you truly want to go and get unstuck.

I am so grateful for those days of uncertainty. Because it has brought me to the here and now. I couldn’t see it at the time, but it was the necessary struggles that will now elevate me to becoming a better version of myself.

I am re-defining what success means. Success is a feeling, a state of being. Where as achievements are the tangible, measurable goals that we can obtain and see. Success is less obvious, no one else can feel it, but you ✨

What’s my why? To reclaim my power & find out what I’m truly capable of. To create a world for myself that has not yet existed. And through sharing with you my stories through visual story-telling, I hope to inspire you to create a world for yourself that is within you already.
