With aspirations in art, music, and psychology, and a 33-year marriage under her belt, Stephanie's story is one of resilience and transformation. Stephanie’s path wasn’t a smooth ride. She faced a DUI, struggled with prescription drugs, and even resorted to drinking mouthwash and rubbing alcohol at her lowest points.

Zoom meetings and women's groups became her lifeline, offering a safe space to share and heal. What sets Stephanie's story apart is her unique connection to the ocean.
