    A Silent Crisis: Why Are So Many Men Feeling Lost Inside Their Own Lives?

    In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Soulful Stories with Steph, we dive deep into the quiet crisis that’s affecting countless families and relationships around the globe. The epidemic of unhappy men. We'll unpack why so many men today feel disconnected, dissatisfied and stuck in survival mode, even when their lives look “successful” from the outside. We'll also explore the emotional, cultural, and energetic roots of this crisis - from generations of conditioning and emotional repression to nervous system burnout and the collapse of identity in modern masculinity. You’ll hear:  ✨ Why men are struggling silently and how society set them up for it  ✨ The huge emotional toll this takes on the women who love them  ✨ What healing really looks like for men (and how women can stop carrying the emotional load) ✨ The hopeful path forward - for men, women and the next generation This isn’t about blame, it’s about awareness, compassion, and awakening. If you’ve ever loved a man who feels lost, disconnected, or shut down, this conversation will help you see it with new eyes and offer a map toward healing and reconnection. Listen now and share this with someone who needs it. The first step to healing starts with awareness. Send us a text

  5. Quiet Bravery: How Vulnerability Can Be the Strongest Thing You Do

    Quiet Bravery: How Vulnerability Can Be the Strongest Thing You Do

    What does bravery really look like? In this episode of Soulful Stories with Steph, we’re redefining courage. So often, we’re taught that being brave means pushing through, keeping busy, or holding it all together. But true bravery - the kind that transforms lives - often looks very different. Join me as I explore the power of slowing down, allowing ourselves to feel, letting the tears flow, and asking for help when we need it. I’ll share personal stories of falling apart, the nervous system wisdom behind vulnerability, and the radical courage of showing up as your authentic self, even when no one else sees it. If you’ve ever felt like your strength is measured by how much you can endure alone, this episode is for you. Discover why leaning into vulnerability might just be the bravest thing you’ll ever do.

  7. The Voices We’ve Ignored: A Call to Action for Neurodiversity

    The Voices We’ve Ignored: A Call to Action for Neurodiversity

    In this powerful episode of Soulful Stories with Steph, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really feels like to be neurodivergent in a world that wasn’t built for us. I share an open letter to schools, universities, workplaces, and society at large, calling out the systems that force neurodivergent people to mask, abandon their authenticity and the culture that perpetuates the trauma cycle. We’ll explore: The devastating statistics around mental health struggles and neurodiversityThe hidden toll of masking in schools and workplacesWhy traditional systems are failing neurodivergent children, students, and employeesWhat research says about the impact of anxiety and exclusionA vision for a world where neurodivergent people are not just accommodated but celebratedThis episode is more than a letter, it’s a rally cry. For inclusion. For respect. For a future where neurodivergent minds are seen, heard, and valued for the brilliance they bring. Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself, a parent, an educator, or an employer, this is a message you need to hear that has the potential to save lives. Now it’s your turn to take action: Share this episode, start conversations in your classrooms and workplaces, and tag me to join the movement. Together, we can shift from tokenism to true, lasting change. Trigger Warning: This episode discusses topics including neurodivergent trauma, masking, mental health challenges, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. Listener discretion is advised. If you feel affected by any of these topics, please pause and seek support from a trusted professional or helpline.

  8. Raising Sensitive Sons: Strength in their Softness

    Raising Sensitive Sons: Strength in their Softness

    What if the things the world tells our boys to suppress — their emotions, intuition, tenderness - are actually their greatest gifts? In this episode, I’m sharing the raw, real, and soulful truths about raising sensitive boys in a world that still doesn’t quite know what to do with their depth. I talk about the invisible load they carry, what emotional safety actually looks like, and the parenting tools that have supported my son and my clients most — from nervous system regulation to energetic boundaries and everything in between. I also speak to something I’ve come to see so clearly: our boys are just as sensitive — if not more — than our girls. But for generations, boys and men have been told to suppress that sensitivity. And now we’re living with the fallout — an epidemic of anxiety, depression, disconnection. Because when we’re not safe to be our full, authentic selves in every aspect of life, we’re not really living. We’re just performing — playing a role in a life that doesn’t feel meaningful or purposeful. This episode isn’t just about raising emotionally intelligent boys — it’s about breaking generational cycles and raising whole, heart-led humans. If you’re parenting a child who feels everything... this one’s for you. Send us a text
