Next-Level You Podcast

In this special behind-the-scenes episode of Next Level You, Stefanie shares a real, unfiltered coaching session with her client Molly — with full permission. This is an inside look at what coaching actually sounds and feels like in real time. No highlight reel. No polished testimonials. Just honest growth, mindset shifts, and massive transformation unfolding week by week.

Halfway through their 12-week container, Molly reflects on going from burnout, lack mindset, and playing small… to landing aligned opportunities, releasing unaligned clients, raising her standards, stepping into visibility, and preparing to leave her corporate job to run her business full-time. You’ll hear how identity work, subconscious rewiring, ego awareness, and nervous system regulation created tangible business results, not just “feel good” mindset shifts.

If you’ve ever wondered what coaching actually does, this episode pulls back the curtain. It’s proof that clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder — it comes from being supported, challenged, and seen.

If you hear yourself in Molly’s story — the self-doubt, the overthinking, the playing small — this might be your nudge. The version of you who’s ready for more isn’t years away. She’s waiting for you to stop doing it alone.

100 episodes in, and this one is a celebration of what happens when you stop waiting to feel “ready” and start showing up anyway.

In this milestone solo episode, Stefanie reflects on the real behind the scenes journey of building Next Level You, from the creative highs and soul aligned guest conversations, to the self doubt, technical hiccups, and pressure that comes with consistency. She shares how podcasting became a healing portal for reclaiming her voice, trusting her intuition, and letting herself be seen without needing approval from anyone.

You’ll hear Stefanie’s favorite guest episodes and standout solos, plus the biggest lessons she has learned about authenticity, confidence, and purpose through two years behind the mic. She also shares what she’s calling in for the next chapter of the podcast, including deeper conversations, aligned partnerships, and an even stronger community of listeners ready to step into their next level selves.

Rest wasn’t something you had to earn but the foundation your nervous system has been begging for all along.

In this solo episode of Next Level You, Stefanie unpacks why so many of us live stuck in hustle mode, chronic stress, and survival and how that constant fight-or-flight state is quietly draining our health, creativity, intuition, and joy. She explains nervous system regulation in a grounded, accessible way and shares why rest isn’t just a behavior, but an identity shift that must happen for real change to last.

You’ll learn practical tools to move out of stress and into regulation, including breathwork, grounding, somatic movement, vagus nerve activation, boundaries, and intentional rest, along with the deeper identity work required to make calm, grounded living your new normal. This episode is a powerful invitation to release hustle as your baseline, reclaim rest as your birthright, and begin living from a place of peace, clarity, and inner safety starting now.

What if your burnout isn’t a problem to fix, but a message you’re meant to listen to?

In this solo episode of Next Level You, Stefanie speaks to the woman who looks successful on paper but feels drained, unfulfilled, and quietly restless inside. The one holding onto corporate security while her soul keeps whispering that she’s meant for more. Stefanie unpacks the real cost of staying in a job that no longer aligns — from chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation to lost joy, creativity, and potential — and why waiting for the “perfect time” keeps you stuck.

You’ll learn why fear around money, clarity, imposter syndrome, and corporate conditioning makes leaving feel impossible, even when you know it’s time. Stefanie also shares what becomes possible when you receive the right support: clarity around your soul-aligned business, a regulated nervous system, sustainable strategy, and the confidence to step into your CEO energy without recreating burnout.

This episode introduces The Quantum Shift Method, Stefanie’s five-month group coaching program designed to guide women from burned-out corporate employee to thriving soul-led entrepreneur through mindset work, nervous system regulation, manifestation, and practical business strategy.

If you’ve been telling yourself “not yet” while your inner voice says “now,” this episode is your nudge. Your quantum shift begins the moment you choose yourself.

What if the story you’ve been told about who you are… was never the truth to begin with?

In this powerful collaborative episode of Next Level You, Stefanie sits down with Alexis Carpenter — founder of Project Rebuild, creator of The Rebuild Room, author, speaker, and mentor — for a deeply honest conversation about identity, self-worth, truth-telling, and rewriting the narratives that keep people stuck. Alexis shares her journey from foster care and corporate leadership to working with at-risk and foster youth, helping them reclaim their voices and build lives they were once told were impossible. Together, Stefanie and Alexis explore how labels, diagnoses, titles, and past experiences can quietly limit our potential — and how owning your story can become the very thing that sets you free.

You’ll hear how one person’s belief can change the entire trajectory of a life, why speaking your truth is both terrifying and liberating, and how healing begins when we stop minimizing who we are. Alexis opens up about writing her book Changing the Reflection, the freedom that came from telling the truths she once hid, and how vulnerability creates safety for others to do the same. This conversation also dives into identity beyond roles, the danger of tying self-worth to productivity or titles, and why community-based healing can be more powerful than one-on-one work alone.

This episode is an invitation to see beyond labels, honor your lived experience, and remember that your past does not disqualify you — it qualifies you. Whether you’re afraid to speak up, struggling with self-worth, or searching for clarity about who you’re becoming, this conversation will remind you that your voice matters, your story is powerful, and your today does not define your tomorrow.

What if the answers you’ve been searching for aren’t out there, but waiting for you in the quiet?

In this solo episode of Next Level You, Stefanie breaks down the power of silence, solitude, and stillness and why our constant need for noise, distraction, and busyness is keeping us disconnected from ourselves. Drawing from personal experience, motherhood, therapy work, and deep inner reflection, she explains why silence feels so uncomfortable for so many of us, what we’re actually avoiding when we can’t be alone with our thoughts, and how overstimulation blocks intuition, clarity, and healing. 

You’ll learn how cultural conditioning around productivity fuels burnout, why avoidance keeps emotions unprocessed, and how stillness can help you reconnect with your intuition, process emotions, and make more aligned decisions. Stefanie also shares practical, realistic ways to start building a tolerance for silence, from micro-moments of stillness to simple daily rituals, without forcing yourself into anything overwhelming. 

This episode is a grounded invitation to slow down, listen inward, and reclaim your peace, clarity, and inner knowing — one quiet moment at a time.

In this episode of Next Level You, I sit down with health and wellness coach Cate Reisburg, for a real, honest conversation about women’s health, mindset, and the deeply ingrained beliefs that keep so many of us stuck in cycles of dieting, burnout, and self-sabotage.

Key Takeaways:

• Why fad diets, quick fixes, and extreme approaches don’t lead to long-term health
• How childhood experiences shape our relationship with food and body image
• The truth about weight-loss injections and why lifestyle change still matters
• Why strength training is essential for women—especially after 30
• The impact of alcohol on physical and mental health
• Why “skinny” does not equal healthy
• How to approach health from a holistic, whole-body perspective
• Why true confidence comes from following through on promises you make to yourself

If you’re ready to stop starting over every January…
If you want food freedom, strength, and confidence without burnout…
This episode is for you.

What if the way you’ve been taught to move through life—expecting the worst, bracing for disappointment, preparing for failure, is actually what’s keeping you stuck?

In this solo episode, we’re diving into Lucky Girl Syndrome (aka best-case scenario thinking) and how this simple mindset shift can literally rewire your subconscious, change how you show up, and make life feel lighter, more magnetic, and more fun.

This isn’t about toxic positivity or ignoring reality. It’s about choosing a lens that supports you instead of sabotaging you and training your brain to look for evidence that life is working for you, not against you.

Here’s what we cover:
✨ What Lucky Girl Syndrome really is (and what it’s not)
✨ The psychology behind it: confirmation bias, self-fulfilling prophecy, and the reticular activating system
✨ Why worst-case scenario thinking fuels anxiety—and how best-case thinking becomes the antidote
✨ How society conditioned us to “be realistic” by expecting the worst (and why that blocks blessings)
✨ Lucky Girl Syndrome as an identity vs. best-case scenario thinking as a daily practice
✨ Simple ways to apply this in real life: affirmations, visualizations, gratitude, reframing, and intentional language
✨ How this mindset rewires your subconscious and shifts your energy over time
✨ Signs the shift is working: less anxiety, faster decisions, more confidence, and aligned opportunities showing up

Your challenge for the next 7 days:
Practice Lucky Girl Syndrome. Expect the best. Look for evidence. And watch what changes.
If something “lucky” happens, DM me. I want to hear your stories and share them in a future episode.

What if your word of the year wasn’t something you chose from a list…but something that chose you?

In this solo episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my 2026 Word of the Year—alchemy—and sharing how it literally chased me down through synchronicities, conversations, clients, and even a middle school chemistry class. This isn’t about picking a cute, motivational word for your vision board. It’s about receiving divine guidance for who you’re becoming and what this next season of your life is asking of you.

Here’s what we cover:
✨ What a Word of the Year actually is
✨ How my 2026 word, alchemy, found me
✨ The deeper meaning of alchemy
✨ How 2025 was a year of shedding (snake energy, numerology year 9) and why 2026 is about transforming everything I released into gold
✨ The exact steps to receive your own word of the year through prayer, meditation, journaling, and paying attention to signs
✨ How to work with your word once it arrives

I would love to hear your Word of the Year. DM me on Instagram or email me and tell me what came through for you—I’m literally putting them into a spreadsheet for a future idea.

2025 was the year of endings, shedding, and deep transformation and if it felt like your life was falling apart, you weren't imagining it.

In this reflective episode, I break down why 2025 was so intense (Year 9 in numerology + Year of the Snake = completion and release) and what 2026 has in store for us (Year 1 in numerology + Year of the Horse = rebirth, new beginnings, and bold action). I share my personal stories of shedding old identities, releasing what no longer served me, and the lessons I learned from letting go. Plus, I'll guide you through rituals to honor the transition and set powerful intentions for the year ahead. If 2025 broke you open, this episode will help you make sense of it and step boldly into the rebirth that 2026 is calling you toward.

Key Takeaways: 

✨ Why 2025 was a year of endings and transformation (Year 9 + Year of the Snake)
✨ What 2026 represents: fresh starts, new beginnings, and momentum (Year 1 + Year of the Horse)
✨ How to embrace shedding as preparation for your next-level self
✨ The importance of setting clear intentions for the new year
✨ Rituals to honor the transition from 2025 to 2026
