Hi, my name is Stephanie Michel. I am an entrepreneur, mom of 8, and wife of 21 years. Presently, I'm a published author, successful business owner, and empowerment coach. Life used to be different. I grew up in a broken family who lived in poverty. This lifestyle drove me to do two things. 1. Search for love 2. Create a life filled with passion and opportunity.
As a teenager, I got saved but was still navigating my rocky life and found myself in a relationship with a drug addict and then, a single mom at the age of 19. Because I grew up in an environment where I felt unloved, I made it my mission to be a good mom and do whatever it took to protect and provide for my precious new baby. Prior to the birth of my baby, I got a job as an in home caregiver that would allow me to take my baby with me. I got an apartment - at the time I was homeless - and shortly after moving into the apartment, I saw a home for sale that was a foreclosure. Walking by with a friend one day I told her that I was going to buy that house. And I did.
I HAD A GOAL
My end goal was to open a daycare in order to stay at home with my baby and I did. I got married, grew a family and have had my hands in a number of business adventures. My favorite being real estate investing. Having over 2 decades of marriage under my belt with the house full of kids, put the pressure on me to work efficiently but also be able to maintain healthy relationships. Coming from a broken home left me with broken tools and I spent a lot of time seeking God's direction to work through the next Step. I felt all alone. While navigating life, I often asked myself things like:
How can I get to be where I want to be?
Is this all that life has to offer?
How can I be content in life?
How can I change the dynamics of my relationships?
CAN YOU RELATE?
There is a belief in our culture that the only thing we are capable of doing is what we are unhappy doing. We are told to give up our passions and live a safe life that pleases everyone else not us. Any detour from this route is met with judgment or disappointment.
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT NONE OF THAT WAS TRUE AND THINGS YOU WANT
IN LIFE ARE ATTAINABLE?
Navigating the challenges of relationships and business has inspired me to share the knowledge I have learned with others with the hope that they can live passionately without as many scars and hopefully a little less broken.
If you are interested in working with me on a more personal level, feel free to message me, I am looking forward to connecting with you
