Hey, I’m Steph!
Operations Strategist & Leadership Consultant to high-functioning women entrepreneurs in the creative and wellness space.
I help women entrepreneurs rebuild the operational backbone of their business by designing systems, structure, and strategy that align how they function as humans with how their business runs, so they can grow without being the one holding it all together.
The truth is…
I resisted this work for years.
For most of my life, I thought something was wrong with me. I was always scanning. Always seeing gaps no one else could see. Felt friction no one else could feel. I could always see what didn’t work and I just instinctively built solutions to bridge the gaps. This wasn’t something I tried to do… In fact, I tried very hard not to do this.
I thought this meant I was just someone who saw the negative in everything. That I was someone who focused on what was broken instead of “seeing the positive” (oh… if I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard, ‘Just look on the positive side’).
But what I didn’t realize was that my brain was naturally building structure where none existed. And I didn’t realize that this was actually a gift.
For years I resisted this natural part of me because I thought it made me rigid. Cold. Too much. Too intense. Like I was always trying to “fix.” And like that’s all there was to me. I wanted (and truthfully, I was…) to be soft. To be human. Emotional. Compassionate. And somewhere along the way, I convinced myself those things couldn’t coexist.
I thought that if I could just soften up, stop needing so much order, stop planning or building structure… I’d finally feel normal.
So I ignored this part of me that needed things to make sense. I masked the part of me that needed clarity and rhythm. And still, somehow, I became the system. I could carry it all, so I did.
Until my system broke.
Burnout didn’t crash in like a crisis.
It crept in quietly, disguised as competence, dressed up as being the dependable one. But underneath the productivity-masked coping mechanisms, I was unraveling.
I’ve been through the kind of storms that rewire you from the inside out. The kind that train your nervous system to survive, not thrive. Grief, Trauma (with a big fat T), complex PTSD, addiction, over-functioning, hyper-vigilance… I’ve lived it.
For years, survival mode was my default setting.
Those years of living in high-functioning survival mode finally caught up with me. In 2022, the grief of tragically losing my father cracked me wide open and flipped my life upside-down. The truth hit hard: I didn’t just need better boundaries to move through the world, I needed an entirely new blueprint. That grief forced me to relearn and rebuild my entire identity.
So, I started rebuilding. Not with perfect plans or color-coded dashboards or trendy ‘I am’ statements, but with real, grounded strategy. For navigating life, career, and business. I stopped trying to force myself into systems that weren’t built for me and started designing ones that actually worked… For how I think, how I feel, and how I process the world around me.
Slowly, I began to reclaim the part of me I’d spent so long hiding. The part that could see what no one else could. The part that could take a tangled mess and turn it into something elegant, calm, functional, and kind.
Now, I fully embrace my systems brain, not as a coping mechanism, but as a calling. Not just because it helped me survive, but because it’s what now allows me, and my clients, to thrive.
How I Help
This work is never just about systems. It’s about alignment. Between your brain and your business. Between how you lead, and how your business runs. M y work lies at the intersection of operational strategy, behavioral psychology, transformational leadership, and the human systems driving it all.
Business & Operations Management
I help you step out of reactive mode and into structure. We look at how your business runs day-to-day, your offers, systems, tools/automations, and workflows, and redesign the behind-the-scenes to run smoother, smarter, and with a lot less stress.
Team & Delegation Infrastructure
Hiring people isn’t the hard part. It’s knowing what to give them and how to make sure it gets done right. I help you define roles, build workflows that support your team, and create a system of ownership that doesn’t rely on you to hold it all together.
Leadership Development
Your team needs more than a task list. They need a leader with vision, clarity, and the tools to guide them. I help you become the kind of leader who sets expectations clearly, gives feedback confidently, and builds trust across every layer of your business.
Process Mapping & Optimization
When everything lives in your head, nothing runs without you. I help you document, simplify, and streamline your core processes so your business becomes easier to run, easier to scale, and easier to hand off without pieces falling through the cracks.
Human-Centered Systems
Most bottlenecks aren’t just about tools… They’re about how we think, decide, and respond under pressure. I help you align your operations with how you function as a human, so your systems help reinforce better habits, clearer choices, and more reliable execution.
Strategic Thought Partnership
You’re the visionary, but you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I act as your sounding board, strategist, and operational translator helping you sort through ideas, pressure-test your direction, and make aligned, confident decisions that move your business forward.
Before I stepped into this work…
I spent over a decade working in Customer Experience, leading teams, coaching C-suite executives, designing and delivering executive level leadership and behavioral skills training programs, and working in high-level operations across the tech, operational intelligence, and startup spaces…
But what sets me apart isn’t just my career experience. It’s my depth in understanding the connection between how humans work and how that shows up in business.
I’ve spent the last 20 years doing the deeper work: healing trauma, navigating grief, and learning how to make peace feel safe again. I’ve spent most of my life studying the brain, emotions, and human behavior because I had to. Because I desperately wanted to understand why I felt so much different than everyone else. Why I could see things other people couldn’t.
After completing my Masters degree in Behavioral Economics, I had the educational background to understand why I could always see the human systems in business systems. And with that experience, I finally learned to accept my nature and the unshakeable belief that: Structure is not rigid. It’s sacred. And when built intentionally, it becomes the very thing that sets us free.
So when I walk into your business, I’m not just bringing strategy. I’m bringing everything I’ve learned about what makes systems feel safe, what makes leadership feel possible, and what actually makes it all work… without burning you to the ground in the process.
My Approach Is Simple.
(not easy. but simple.)
Today, I help women entrepreneurs rebuild the operational backbone of their business by designing systems, structure, and strategy that align how they function as humans with how their business runs, so they can grow without being the one holding it all together.
What I do is bridge that gap. Between backend strategy and behavior change. Between business operations and human operations. Between how you think you need to show up and what actually supports you to show up.
Together, we rebuild your business around how you lead. How you make decisions. How you process information. How you hold space for others (and yourself). And how your brain and body function when things get hard.
Because the truth is, you don’t need to be more disciplined. You need someone to help you understand the human systems. The why behind the what. You don’t need to try harder. You need the right support to help you see you’re not failing… you’re human. You don’t need another surface-level strategy. You need a business that’s structurally aligned with how you think, feel, and lead.
If you’re here, I imagine you’re ready for something different.
You’re done being the glue. Done white-knuckling your way through growth, wondering what will fall apart if you step away for even a second.
You want a business that meets you where you are. One that holds you, supports you, and grows with you. Not one that keeps taking from you just to help you survive.
