What if four simple phrases could shift your energy, heal emotional wounds, and create peace in your relationships — all without changing anyone else?

I’ve been in the spiritual world for quite a while and when this prayer found me, it’s had a profound shift in my life ever since.

It’s been over 10 years since the Hawaiian practice of Ho’oponopono has been a solid, consistent, miraculous, joyful, powerful practice that never fails me.

In the latest episode of Joyfully Empowered, I’m diving deep into the origins, meaning, and modern use of this ancient spiritual technology.

Ho’oponopono means “to make right” or “to restore balance” in Hawaiian. It’s an indigenous forgiveness and reconciliation practice that was traditionally used by Hawaiian families to resolve conflict and restore harmony — not just externally, but spiritually and emotionally as well.

The practice was originally guided by a kūpuna (elder) or kahuna (spiritual leader), and centered around community healing, truth-telling, and restoring the flow of love.

In this week’s episode, I go deeper into:

* The true history and origin of Ho’oponopono

* The energetic principles behind why it works

* The real story of Dr. Hew Len (and why it still inspires global healing)

* How I personally use it as a spiritual reset when I feel overwhelmed

* My favorite daily practice to use this prayer with intention

Whether you're navigating relationship tension, emotional burnout, or just craving spiritual clarity — this episode is for you.

Let this sacred Hawaiian prayer remind you: you are never too far from healing, love, or balance.

May you follow your joy always & in all ways!

xx

Hi friends!

This week on the Joyfully Empowered podcast, I’m sharing a deeply personal and honest look at what overworking actually does to our body, our wellbeing, and our joy — and what you can start doing differently, today.

Overworking is tricky (and easy to do!), especially for most people who are used to being high-functioning and multi-taskers.

If you’ve been wondering why you feel so disconnected from your own energy & how to reclaim your well-being— this episode is your gentle (but powerful) reset.

You were made to thrive, not survive — and your success will be even sweeter when it comes from alignment, not exhaustion.

Did you love this & someone who would love it too? Pass along & I'd love for you to leave a 5-star review :)

Follow your joy, always & in all ways!

xx

Today’s episode is a good one that has a topic in many of my coaching sessions lately.

The focus: Executive presence.

Do you know what makes a woman magnetic in any room she walks into?

It’s not being the loudest or the most aggressive.It’s not about forcing your way into the spotlight.It’s about embodying your true self — and allowing that energy to speak for you.

I dive deep into this concept in my latest podcast episode “How to build executive presence as a woman: 7 tips to start today”

In this episode, I’m sharing 7 powerful tips that will not only help you build your executive presence but also unlock your inner power without burnout.

And yes, it’s all rooted in feminine energy.

Let’s dive in.

Executive presence is the ability to project confidence, authenticity, and command in a way that naturally draws others to you.

It’s not about being flashy or over-the-top; it’s about being present, authentic, and centered in your leadership style.

Whether you’re in a high-level meeting, a one-on-one conversation, or an informal setting, executive presence is about showing up as the best version of yourself and creating a positive, lasting impression.

Inside my latest episode of Joyfully Empowered, I share with you 7 tips to start embodying this energy that is already within you so you can command the room authentically you.

One of favorite tips that I share in the episode is to 🌟 Own Your Identity Unapologetically 🌟

Learning to embrace your background, your story, and your feminine power as your superpowers.

This isn’t about pretending to be someone else or fitting into a mold. It’s about becoming the most magnetic, authentic version of YOU.

Why does this matter?

Because when you show up as your true self, you become a beacon. And guess what? People will naturally want to follow, work with, or connect with you — without you ever having to prove a thing.

And here’s a little secret: This isn’t just for high-level execs.

Whether you’re leading your business, managing a team, or navigating your personal life — your feminine energy can help you build a presence that’s undeniable and magnetic.

If you’re ready to amplify your energy and step into your most empowered version, this episode is for you. ✨

Listen to the full episode now — and let’s break free from the hustle and pressure. It’s time to own your power, your presence, and your worth 🌟

You can listen on Apple, Spotify or watch the video on YouTube or here on Substack

Let me know what you think — I’d love to hear your thoughts after you listen! Also, feel free to tag me on Instagram @stephanievirchaux with your favorite tip.

Have an incredible week & until next time!

Hello my friends!

As I am sitting across a beautiful garden of wild flowers of bold pink, purple and bright yellow colors, I am fully taking in this micro-moment of joy 🌸🌸🌸

If you’ve been feeling like life is moving a little too fast lately… this week’s episode is for you.

In the newest episode of Joyfully Empowered, I share something delightfully simple, but wildly transformational: the power of micro-moments—those tiny, fleeting experiences that have the power to completely shift your energy of our day.

And let’s be honest: for many of us—moms, leaders, dreamers—it’s not realistic to wait until we can book the full spa day or have hours of quiet. We need joy that meets us in real life. In the car. At school drop-off. Between meetings. Before dinner.

And that’s where micro-moments come in 🪩🥳

✨ What Are Micro-Moments? ✨

Micro-moments are those brief, sensory sparks that ground us in joy, presence, or connection. Think:

* The warmth of your coffee mug in your palms (cozy, cozy, never fails!)

* A breeze across your skin as you step outside (ahh that spring air)

* Your child’s giggle from the next room (this melts me every time!)

* A whiff of your favorite oil (I’ve been obsessed with the almond body oil from L’Occitane lately—pure delight)

They’re simple. Subtle. And powerful.

Why they matter:Your nervous system remembers joy. These moments become your emotional savings account—something to pull from when life gets heavy or hard.

They build your resiliency, your gratitude, and your capacity for pleasure.

And this is something we all need. This is something we all are responsible for strengthening and that’s exactly what I am sharing today.

Read on the blog below or listen in to today’s episode on The Power of Micro-Moments of Joy!

🛠️ How to Create Micro-Moments (Even on the Busiest Days)

These are the three go-to tools I share in the episode that I personally use to stay grounded and joyful—no matter what the day looks like.

1. The Pause PracticeTake 30 seconds, three times a day.Stop. Breathe. Feel.Notice what’s around you: the light, the sounds, the air on your skin.That’s it.

2. Sensory AnchoringChoose a joy cue from one of your senses: a scent, texture, taste or sound.Use it intentionally—maybe it’s your hand lotion, a mantra, or a velvet scrunchie you wear on your wrist. Let it anchor you back into presence.

3. Micro Gratitude Journal At night(or anytime during the day!) write down 3 small joys from your day. No big wins needed. (You can also just think them if you don’t have your journal with you)In our family, we’ve made this a nighttime ritual. My husband, Dylan Joy, and I each share our favorite moments from the day before bed. We always have more than one. 💛

The magic of micro-moments is that they don’t require anything extra from you—only your attention.

Here’s your reflection prompt for today: What were 3 micro-moments you experienced in the last 24 hours?

If one made you smile, I’d love to hear it.

Tag me on Instagram @stephanievirchaux and share your joy 🌸Or comment below with your favorite moment—I read every note.

Sending you joy in those in-between moments!

Stephanie

P.S. This is one of those episodes that’s quietly life-changing. Don’t keep it to yourself—forward to a friend who could use a moment of joy today.

Friends! Happy new week!

This week, I am bringing to you a brand new episode focused on a trendy topic popularized by Mel Robbins on her latest book “The Let Them Theory”

This theory is nothing new and it’s been around for hundreds of years and today, I am breaking it down for you!

In today’s episode of Joyfully Empowered, we dive into the transformative ‘Let Them’ Theory — a powerful mindset shift that frees you from the constant need to explain, prove, or convince anyone of your worth.

💫 In This Episode, You’ll Learn How To:

* Trust yourself when others misunderstand you or judge you

* Release control and tap into your truest most magical alignment

* Stop chasing validation and reclaim your personal power

* Personal examples of my life where I have applied this theory

* How can you start using this today to set you free and go on to embrace your most empowering life

Whether you’re navigating a challenging relationship, client dynamic, or personal crossroads, this episode offers a gentle reminder and permission slip to let them — and stay grounded in your truth! LFG!

Glow Naturally: My Must-Have Clean-ish & Mostly Non-Toxic Skincare Picks

Friends! Hi!

Happy new week! This week’s episode is a fun one, and if you’re a skincare lover like me, you’re going to obsess over it.

I am sharing the Best Clean(ish) & Mostly Non-Toxic Skincare & Bodycare (That Actually Work!) ✨

I personally love hearing about skincare, makeup, and must-have products, and today, I’m spilling all the details on my favorite clean(ish) & mostly non-toxic skincare picks—what I’m using, testing, and how I check ingredient quality.

But first… a little backstory.

My Beauty Industry Insider Story 🧴💄

Before I became a business owner as an energy, executive and business coach; I spent over a decade as a Marketer for major beauty brands. (Fun fact: My first marketing job was actually with Norwegian Cruise Line, where I discovered Elemis—the brand that kickstarted my skincare obsession!)

By my early 20s, I was using hundreds-of-dollars-per-bottle luxury face creams and serums—and I never paid a dime for them. Perks of the job! For over 12 years, I had unlimited access to free skincare & makeup. Let’s just say… paying for skincare now is a tough adjustment. 😅

What’s Inside This Episode?

🎧 In today’s episode, I break down:

✅ My Current Skincare Routine – Featuring mostly clean & non-toxic products (but keeping it real—some of them are not fully clean/non-toxic)✅ The New Skincare Products I’m Testing – Are they worth it? I spill the tea.✅ The Best App to Check Product Ingredients – This app is a game-changer for skincare AND food labels.✅ My Favorite Non-Toxic Household Cleaning Brands – Two brands I swear by for a clean, non-toxic home.✅ How I Went Fragrance-Free – My journey, the unexpected benefits, and how I transitioned my household.

Well, damn. Isn’t life the most beautiful & unpredictable rollercoaster?

The past 12 months have been the most rewarding and the most challenging. Not ever, not in my whole life, but in a long time.

The other day in conversation with my husband, I said “this is the time when life is DEMANDING TRUST and surrender”

Today, I want to break down the 9 things that have supported me, have helped me feel anchored during challenging in case you’re experiencing something similar.

* You continue take action: This isn’t the time to slow down, avoid or pretend things are not happening. This is the time we take action and we show up for ourselves.

* You double down on trust with yourself: what can you do continue strengthening trust with yourself through your actions.

* Slow down and appreciate: The small things, the big things, nature, food, just the beauty of life.

* Simplify: Make it easier, make it simple. Remove all burdens that are within your control.

* Connect with your community: Hug tighter, make time with the ice cream date, get coffee with a friend, get your nails done with your bestie. Make time for your village.

* Ask for guidance from God/The Universe: In the episode, I refer to an awesome exercise that I learn from Abraham Hicks

* Connect with nature: Daily.

* Do the inner work, face the fear: Go deep, shed tears, release limiting beliefs and go through the ring of fire.

* Stay humble, stay in your heart

In the episode, I talk a bit more in depth about each of these 9 things that have been incredibly helpful as I am in the process of transformation myself.
