A New Era of Stephanie

For the past 15+ years, my work has been rooted in helping brands find clarity, direction, and resonance. That journey began as an independent contractor nearly 20 years ago, taking on marketing projects and clients to build brands, strategy and marketing campaigns. That experience led to running my own full-service marketing agency—building strategies, scaling businesses, and helping countless entrepreneurs bring their visions to life. It was fulfilling in many ways, but over time, I realized something deeper was calling me.

After years of pushing, striving, and performing in ways that looked successful on the outside, my body and spirit were asking me to slow down, to listen, and to return to myself. That turning point began my path of healing, somatic practices, yoga, sound, and movement—a path that has not only transformed my personal life but also how I guide others.

Why Rebrand Now

This rebrand isn’t just about changing colors, logos, or visuals. It’s about alignment.
It’s about creating a brand that reflects who I am now—not who I was even a few years ago.

I’m evolving as a being and a woman. I’m more clear who I am and I’m embodied in my truth, operating from my feminine energy and my authentic frequency - embracing my wholeness. Liberated. Grounded. In Flow.

So, it’s natural my personal brand is evolving into the most grounded, authentic, and deeply embodied version, too. A space where business strategy and spirituality coexist. Where movement and sound are just as valuable as metrics and funnels. Where truth, liberation, and divine feminine energy weave into everything I create.

What This New Brand Means to Me

This rebrand feels like a nourishing exhale where the shoulders drop, I let out a big sigh and can finally BE. What a relief. What a blessing. What a true gift to get to be ME. This rebrand has been a process that started back at the beginning of this year when I experienced a transformative Embodiment Brand Photoshoot with my amazingly talented friend, Embodied Visuals. This experience captured my essence and images that truly feel like me.

Then I ventured to the jungle of Costa Rica, living off the grid for nearly a month - and the jungle gave me more wisdom, more connection, more courage to step into my authentic energy. To authentically be me. As a Leo moon and Leo Rising, I’m seeing how I’m stepping more into the spotlight in a grounded, warm and confident way.

To me this brand feels:

Grounded

Inspired by the hues of pachamama, Mother Earth, this rebrand is intentionally aligned with nature. Connection, stability, natural ways of being.

Rooted in Truth
No more performing, no more pretending. This brand is anchored in authenticity and transparency and embracing wholeness.

Somatic & Embodied
Movement, breath, and sound aren’t side practices—they’re central. They are the bridge between mind, body, and soul.

Healing & Liberation
This space is devoted to helping others release what no longer serves them, reclaim their voice, and build lives and businesses that feel as good as they look.

Feminine Force
It’s a celebration of intuition, flow, and the power of creation. It’s where strength meets softness and where possibility expands.

The Next Chapter

This rebrand marks the integration of all parts of me:
the founder and strategist, the yoga teacher and sound healer, the investor, the business strategist, the guide who helps others align psyche, soma, and soul.

It’s more than a shift in branding—it’s a declaration.
I’m no longer compartmentalizing the different aspects of who I am. I’m weaving them together into one authentic, embodied expression. And I’m only at the beginning.

This is my invitation for you to journey with me into this new chapter—one rooted in authenticity, movement, spirituality, and liberation.

Welcome to the truest version of me. I’m glad you’re here.

The 9/9/9 Portal: A Day of Completion & Integration

Today we walk through a powerful energetic gateway: 9/9/9.

• September is the 9th month.

• Today is the 9th day.

• And in numerology, 2025 (2+0+2+5) reduces to a 9.

• 9 / 9 / 9

That means today carries a triple-nine frequency — a rare alignment that amplifies the vibration of completion, release, and integration.

It goes even further though… 9 + 9 + 9 = 27 and 2 + 7 =9!

Meaning today is a POTENT 9 day.

In numerology, nine is the number of endings, but not in a heavy or final sense — rather, it invites us to clear space, honor what’s been lived, and step into the wisdom we’ve gained. It’s the closing of a cycle, the turning of a page, the invitation to carry forward only what aligns with the next chapter.

Astrologically, portals like this often feel like heightened energetic thresholds. You may notice synchronicities, dreams, or themes resurfacing that are asking for resolution. The question is: what are you ready to let go of so you can rise lighter and freer?

Energies of 9/9/9

✨ Completion – releasing what’s run its course.
✨ Integration – weaving lessons into wisdom.
✨ Forgiveness – softening old stories, cutting cords with compassion.
✨ Spiritual Awakening – nine is the “old soul” number, reminding us to zoom out and see the bigger picture.

Practices to Ground Into the Portal

1. Sacred Release Ritual
   Write down what you’re ready to let go of on slips of paper — outdated patterns, beliefs, or relationships. Burn, bury, or tear them up as an act of symbolic release.

2. Sound & Movement Clearing
   Put on a song that feels cathartic. Shake your body, hum, or use vocal toning to move stagnant energy through and out.

3. Gratitude List for Endings
   Instead of just grieving what’s leaving, honor it. Make a list of the gifts each ending has brought you.

4. Meditation on the Spiral
   Visualize your life path as a spiral — each turn brings you back to familiar themes but from a higher perspective. Notice how far you’ve come.

Journal Prompts

• What cycles in my life are naturally completing right now?

• What old version of myself am I ready to thank and release?

• What wisdom am I carrying forward into this next chapter?

• Where am I holding on out of fear, and how can I soften into trust?

• If I fully surrendered to completion, what new beginning might emerge?

Closing Reflection

The 9/9 portal isn’t just about endings. It’s about liberation. Each time we close a cycle with intention, we open space for something more aligned to flow in. Trust that what is leaving has already served its purpose.

Today is your reminder: you are whole, complete, and ready for what’s next.

Redefining Success from the Inside Out — My Feature on the Power & Purpose Podcast

I recently had the honor of being a guest on the Power & Purpose Podcast, a show dedicated to helping leaders and visionaries step more fully into their truth. This conversation was such a powerful reflection of the journey I’ve been on — moving from achievement at all costs into alignment, embodiment, and full-spectrum success.

On this episode of the Power & Purpose Podcast, I share my journey of redefining success — from running a thriving marketing agency built on external achievement to creating a life and business rooted in alignment and embodiment. We explore how the body can serve as a compass for decision-making, why the nervous system is your greatest business asset, and what it takes to build success that’s regenerative instead of depleting.

I also offer practical tools you can bring into your workday — simple breath and sound practices to reset your energy and a mindset shift to create more nervous system safety. At the heart of it all, this conversation is about moving beyond hustle into a new paradigm of leadership defined by authenticity, transparency, and truth.

This conversation felt like a mirror for the work I’ve been called to share. My hope is that it inspires you to listen more deeply, trust your body, and build success that’s truly yours.

A Blood Moon Reset: Energetics of the Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse

This weekend we meet a powerful moment in the sky: the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, also called the Corn Moon or the Blood Moon. On September 7th, the moon rises into her fullness, cloaked in eclipse energy that magnifies endings, transitions, and breakthroughs.

Psst… It’s called Corn Moon because of it’s timing near autumn and harvest season and Blood Moon because of the burnt orange/red hue effect the lunar eclipse will have on the moon in the night sky.

Eclipses are turning points. They bring a sense of fate, of divine timing—like the universe pressing “reset” on something in our lives. And when an eclipse happens in Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, it carries the added weight of closure and spiritual release. This is a time of deep emotional clearing, of dissolving the old, and of trusting that what is leaving is meant to go.

Pisces Full Moon Energetics

Pisces energy is sensitive, intuitive, imaginative, and spiritual. Plus, the last sign of the zodiac - this is a symbolic ending and release. It calls us into surrender—to let go of what we’ve been trying to control and instead trust the larger flow of life. Under this moon, emotions may swell like tides, bringing both healing tears and intuitive clarity.

Because the moon is opposite the sun in Virgo, this eclipse also lights up the Virgo–Pisces axis:

• Virgo: devotion, healing, detail, grounding in the body.

• Pisces: surrender, compassion, imagination, spiritual attunement.

Together, they remind us that true healing comes from both structure and softness. We need the ritual and the practice (Virgo) as much as we need the dream and the letting go (Pisces).

Eclipse Themes

Here are some of the things we may be feeling collectively:

• Release & Closure – Endings may feel fated, especially in relationships, habits, or creative paths.

• Emotional Clarity – Old grief or stuck energy arises to be cleared, offering breakthroughs of understanding.

• Intuition Activated – Dreams, synchronicities, and inner knowings may be louder than usual.

• Simplify & Re-align – An urge to declutter, cleanse, or reset routines.

• Spiritual Connection – A deepening desire to pray, meditate, honor ancestors, or access wisdom beyond the logical.

Journaling Prompts

Invitation to set aside quiet space, light a candle, and let these journal prompts guide your reflection:

1. What am I being invited to release right now—even if it feels uncomfortable?

2. Where in my life am I still trying to control the outcome, rather than trusting the flow?

3. What spiritual practices or rituals bring me back to my own inner compass?

4. What emotions are surfacing that I’ve been avoiding—and how can I honor them instead of suppressing them?

5. If this eclipse is a reset button, what chapter am I ready to close? And what am I calling in next?

Full Moon + Eclipse Practices

Here are some ways to work with the energies of this full moon and eclipse:

🌑 Release Ritual

• Write down what you are ready to let go of—habits, relationships, thought patterns.

• Tear up, throw out or bury the paper as a symbolic release.

🌊 Water Clearing

• Pisces is a water sign—connect with water through a ritual bath or shower, ocean swim, or simply placing a bowl of water under the moonlight.

• As you immerse, visualize old energy dissolving away.

🎶 Sound or Movement

• Move energy through your body with sound healing, humming, chanting, or dance.

• Allow emotions to flow through movement rather than staying stuck in the mind.

🕯️ Ancestral Connection

• Create a simple altar with photos, flowers, or offerings to honor your ancestors.

• Speak words of gratitude and ask for their guidance as you step into your next chapter.

🧘 Meditation & Breathwork

• Practice a short breathwork or meditation for grounding.

• Imagine a column of light washing through your body, clearing old energy and filling you with clarity.

This eclipse is a moment of cosmic surrender. If something is leaving your life now, trust that it is divinely timed. If emotions rise up, let them flow. If clarity arrives, let it guide you forward.

The invitation is simple yet profound: release what no longer serves, honor the wisdom surfacing, and trust the unseen currents that are carrying you toward what’s next. This time is both an ending and a new beginning. A reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is let go and make space for new beginnings.

May this moon bring the release, clarity, and healing that our souls are ready for.

How to Use Pinterest to Promote Your Podcast (and Grow Your Audience Long-Term)

Pinterest for Podcasters with Pin Better® method for Podcasters course

I have been speaking to clients a lot recently about Pinterest and podcasts…and so felt called to get some tangible tips on the blog for you to dive in for yourselves!

I’m a lover of Pinterest, it’s why I developed a proprietary method and course on how to use it to grow brand visibility and website traffic organically using this platform….

Podcast promotion doesn’t have to feel like you’re constantly blasting out content and short-lived posts. If you want your episodes to reach new listeners again and again—without constantly reinventing the marketing wheel—Pinterest is the perfect platform to add to your strategy. That’s why I’ve created the Pin Better® method for Podcasters mini course!

Unlike Instagram or TikTok where your content disappears after a day or two, Pinterest is a visual search engine. Every Pin you create can work as a long-lasting link back to your podcast, circulating for months (or even years) after you publish it. With the right approach, you can turn each episode into an evergreen traffic driver and visibility booster.

Here are some simple, effective ways to start promoting your podcast on Pinterest:

1. Create Branded Pin Graphics

Design attention-grabbing covers using your podcast artwork, guest photos, or powerful quotes from your episodes.

• Keep fonts bold, clean, and easy to read.

• Use headlines that entice curiosity (e.g., “5 Ways to Build Authentic Visibility” vs. “Episode 12”).

2. Link Pins Directly to Episodes

Make every Pin a gateway to your content.

• Link to a specific episode landing page, your website, or your preferred podcast platform.

• Add clear CTAs like “Listen Now” or “Stream the Full Episode.”

3. Leverage Rich Pins & Idea Pins

Take advantage of Pinterest’s built-in features:

• Idea Pins let you share short clips, audiograms, or swipeable “3 Tips from This Episode.”

• Rich Pins can auto-pull your titles and descriptions so your content stays up to date.

4. Use Keyword-Rich Descriptions

Treat Pinterest like the search engine it is.

• Add specific keywords to your Pin titles and descriptions (e.g., “business podcast for conscious leaders” or “sound healing meditation episode”).

• Think about what your ideal listener is typing into search.

5. Promote Evergreen Episodes

Don’t just Pin the latest release—share your timeless content, too.

• Your story, your methodology, or “Top 10 Tips” episodes stay relevant for years.

• Evergreen Pins keep driving listens long after launch.

6. Drive Email List Growth

Think beyond streams.

• Instead of linking only to Spotify or Apple, send people to your website.

• Offer show notes, freebies, or guides so listeners join your email list.

7. Analytics for Engagement Lead the Way

Let data guide your next move.

• Track which Pins get the most clicks, saves, or listens.

• Double down on the formats, designs, and topics that perform best.

Why Pinterest Works for Podcasts

The biggest advantage? Pinterest builds links that last forever. Once your Pin is live, it can be re-pinned, saved, searched, and resurfaced over and over again. That means each episode has the potential to keep finding new listeners long after you’ve moved on to your next recording.

Want to Go Deeper?

Some of the most powerful tactics—like repurposing one episode into multiple Pins, creating episode boards by theme, and aligning your podcast content with seasonal/trending searches—are strategies I’ll be teaching in my upcoming course, Pin Better® Method for Podcasters.

If you’re ready to maximize visibility and build a repeatable system for long-term podcast growth, pre-order the Pin Better® method course for podcasters here and get immediate access to the new Pin Better® Method for Podcaster course when it goes live!

If you’ve been relying only on short-lived social posts to promote your podcast, Pinterest is your chance to create a strategy that’s both evergreen and scalable. With just a few Pins per episode, you’ll build a growing library of discoverable, clickable content that drives new audiences to your show every single day.

Welcome to My New Chapter: Stepping into Alignment

After more than 15 years building brands and leading businesses, and the past few years diving deep into somatic practices, sound, and soul work, I find myself standing at a threshold. Leaving the Arizona desert after two decades opened space for renewal—a chance to reconnect with water, movement, and my own truth. This new chapter isn’t just about launching a website; it’s about stepping into alignment with the woman I’ve become: a blend of strategist and energy interpreter, rooted in psyche, soma, and soul. Here, I’ll be sharing insights, offerings, and reflections that bridge the worlds of business and embodiment, guiding others toward lives and brands that feel as good as they look.

Closing One Chapter to Begin Another

For years, my work was centered in the marketing agency world. I built RielDeal Marketing from the ground up and had the honor of supporting dozens of clients across industries. Yet, as fulfilling as it was to help client’s brands success, I could feel something shifting within me. My father’s passing in 2013 cracked open a doorway to deeper spiritual awareness, and over time, initiations in 2017 and again in the last two years called me inward.

What I discovered was that growth doesn’t always happen in the hustle—it often blooms in the pause. Closing one chapter created space for me to rediscover my own voice, body, and energy in ways I hadn’t before.

What Alignment Means to Me

Alignment isn’t about perfection. It’s about resonance. It’s the moment when your inner truth and outer expression harmonize—when the work you do, the way you show up, and the energy you carry are all flowing in the same direction.

For me, alignment looks like merging my years of business experience with the tools and practices that nourish the nervous system and spirit: somatic movement, yoga, sound healing, frequency therapy, and intuitive guidance. It means showing up fully—not just as a strategist, or a healer, or a mentor—but as all of me, unapologetically.

The Work I Do Now

Much like yoga teaches us to flow with the breath and surrender into each posture in our own unique body, my work now is about guiding others into relationship with their body - their own lives and (maybe even) businesses. Alignment happens when you learn to listen deeply—to your body, to your energy, and to your truth—and then move from that place with trust.

Today, my offerings are rooted at the intersection of business strategy and embodied energetics. I hold space for founders, creatives, and conscious leaders to bring their visions into form in ways that feel both expansive and sustainable. That may look like:

• Somatic practices and nervous system support to help you ground, regulate, and create from a place of wholeness.

• Sound healing and frequency therapy to clear energetic blocks and restore harmony.

• Yoga and mindful movement to reconnect you to the wisdom of your body.

• Intuition-led mentorship and brand strategy to align your voice, vision, and visibility.

Working with me isn’t just about strategy or healing—it’s about embracing both. It feels like being met fully, seen for all that you are, and invited into a space where your vision is honored and your energy is supported. Clients often describe it as equal parts grounding and activating: a blend of practical clarity and soulful expansion.

What You Can Expect Here

This blog is more than a space for updates. It’s an invitation to wholeness. For myself, and maybe for you, too.

Here, I’ll share:

• Reflections from my personal journey of growth, healing, and reinvention.

• Insights on building brands, businesses, and offerings that feel aligned and authentic.

• Practices and tools from yoga, somatic work, and sound that support nervous system regulation and embodiment.

• Stories that remind us we’re not alone in navigating change, endings, and new beginnings.

Whether you’re a founder, a creative, or simply a human seeking more flow and authenticity, my hope is that these words serve as a reminder: you are allowed to evolve.

An Invitation to Journey Together

Stepping into alignment isn’t a one-time event—it’s a lifelong practice. I don’t have it all figured out, but I do know this: we’re not meant to walk this path alone.

If you’re here reading these words, welcome. I invite you to explore the offerings on this site, join me in a class or event, or simply return to this space when you need inspiration or grounding.

This is just the beginning of a new chapter, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the journey.

Here’s to stepping into alignment, together.
