What I learned about myself after a life of abuse, disappointments and the military/ Stephanie Bedell

Claudia Noriega-Bernstein

 Stephanie had a very hard upbringing and to escape that reality she joined the army looking for more, until she finally realized that her journey of healing needed to start  within. She got clarity, finally embraced all parts of herself and was able to forgive. Please join me to listen to her story of resilience and hope while she navigates pregnancies, abuse, marriage and life in the  military. 

"If I had to pick one to sum up all the big shifts in my life. It would be when I completed the 8 week session with WoVeN (Women Veteran Network). I embraced all parts of me. I realized that even though I did experience things that society doesn't talk about (rape, harassment, assault, pregnancy loss) I was not alone. I had a voice. All these things shaped who I was, by finding my voice, sharing my story, I am paving the way for others and helping them find their voice and creating a safe space for others to share and grow."
 
Stephanie defines herself as a human, military veteran, wife, mother of 4 children and a fur baby cat named Gremlin. She loves being creative, coffee, and chocolate. Volunteering in her community and connecting others. When she isn't eating, going on adventures in this thing called life she can be found at www.stephaniecreatesblank.com. Her business is helping others creatively  connect with their community. Offering digital and physical products, web design and social media content creation. But her story was unexpected. I encourage to listen to her and see what an incredible journey of resilience she endured.


" I am providing a life that my kids don't have to recover from"
In this episode:
What motivated her to join the army?
What challenges did she have to face?
How she made the most of it.
Her relationship with her mother
What she wants for her kids
Creating a business to connect with the world
What is she doing differently as a mom so her kids won't have the experiences she had to endure?

You are feeling drained
You have lost your passion
You are lost on the many roles you play everyday
You are a mom 24/7 because you have forgotten to be anything else
You feel empty!
You feel guilty when you make yourself a priority
You feel you are on a hamster wheel
Everyday is the same!
You have lost that spark you once had
You are tired of the same old thing
You don't know where to start!

Reach out to me, let's have a chat!
