    121. What Keeps me up at night (Therapist Edition)

    Your anxiety might not be anxiety. It might be hormones, nutrient deficiencies, or a body that is begging you to stop treating the symptom and start looking for the root. In this episode, Stefanie shares what truly “keeps her up at night” as a therapist and holistic practitioner. She gets real about a pattern she sees constantly in clients who are labeled with anxiety and depression, prescribed medication, and told their labs are “normal,” yet they still feel exhausted, foggy, reactive, and stuck. Stefanie explains why traditional talk therapy and medication can be helpful but are not always the full answer when the body is out of balance. She breaks down the physical symptoms that often get misfiled as mental health issues, why standard lab ranges can miss what is actually going on, and why she believes a whole-body approach matters if you want lasting healing. This episode is both a wakeup call and a permission slip to advocate for deeper testing, better support, and a more integrative path forward. In this episode, Stefanie covers:  Why some “anxiety and depression” symptoms may actually be hormonal or nutritional  The red flag symptoms she listens for (fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, sleep issues, PMS, weight changes, gut and skin concerns, low libido, and more)  The difference between “normal” labs and optimal levels  Why many people get stuck when they only use talk therapy or medication  How to advocate for comprehensive bloodwork and deeper answers  Why working with an integrative or functional practitioner alongside therapy can be a game changer If you have been told everything is fine but you know it is not, this episode will help you name what might be missing and what next steps to take.

    120. Microdose: What Keeps Me Up At Night (Mom Edition)

    The things that keep you up at night are not proof you are failing. They are proof you care. In this microdose episode, Stefanie gets real and vulnerable about the thoughts that run through her mind in the quiet moments, especially as a spiritual entrepreneur, wife, and mom. She shares the specific areas that tend to pull at her nervous system and why these worries are not about “doing it wrong,” but about being awake and intentional about what matters. This episode is a permission slip to name what has been weighing on you, release the guilt around it, and choose one small action that supports the version of you you are becoming. In this episode, Stefanie shares what keeps her up at night:  Staying consistent with nervous system care (and why it is a necessity, not a luxury)  Being fully present with her son and making sure he is having enriching, fun experiences  Pouring into her marriage and protecting the foundation of the family  Showing up in friendships with real reciprocity and intention  Learning to be okay with the never-ending to-do list and trusting what got done is enough  Staying committed to health and wellness routines that support her energy and capacity Challenge: Ask yourself: What keeps you up at night? Then choose one small commitment you can make this week to address it. Let us know what you think! Support the show Join my Email List! Buy Me a Drink!

    119. Your Body Has Been Whispering — It's Time to Listen

    Healing is not just about managing symptoms. It is about getting curious enough to find the root. In this episode, Stefanie sits down with Lindsey Burwell for a grounded conversation about root-cause healing, inflammation, and why so many women feel metabolically stuck even when they feel like they are “doing all the right things.” Lindsey shares her passion for looking beneath the surface to identify what is driving symptoms at the cellular level, and why healing often requires a more holistic, integrative approach than most of us were taught. Together, they talk about how disconnected modern life is from the way our bodies were designed to live, and why mindset and belief in your body’s ability to heal matters more than people realize. This episode is a reminder that you are not broken. You might just be out of alignment with what your body actually needs. In this episode, you’ll learn:  What “root-cause healing” really means and why it matters  Common reasons women feel inflamed or metabolically stuck  Why symptom chasing keeps people spinning  How integrative and holistic practitioners can be a missing piece  The connection between modern lifestyle stressors and inflammation  Why trusting your body’s ability to heal is part of the process Guest: Lindsey Burwell Root-cause focused health practitioner supporting women who feel inflamed, metabolically stuck, or disconnected from how their body is meant to function.

    118. Microdose: The Art of Swapping Services

    Service swaps can be an incredible win win, or they can quietly build resentment if the energy is off. In this microdose episode of Next Level You, Stefanie breaks down the art of service swaps and how to navigate them with alignment, integrity, and clear expectations. She shares why swaps can be a powerful way to access support you truly need (without defaulting to cash), build community, and create organic referrals, as long as both people genuinely want what the other is offering. Stefanie also gets real about the potential pitfalls, like mismatched value, unclear boundaries, and swaps that feel more like an obligation than a gift. This episode will help you understand when a swap is a true energetic yes, and when it is a polite no. In this episode, you’ll learn:  What a service swap is and why it can be so valuable  The key sign a swap is aligned: both people truly want the other’s service  Why swaps should never be your default, but can be powerful in the right season  How to avoid awkwardness, mismatched expectations, and feeling insulted  The importance of roughly equal value, clear boundaries, and honest communication  How swaps can support connection, reciprocity, and referrals when done well Quick reflection: Before you agree to a swap, ask: Would I still want this if money was involved? If the answer is not a clear yes, it is probably not aligned. Let us know what you think! Support the show Join my Email List! Buy Me a Drink!

    117. How I'm Using my Human Design Type to Build a Soul-Aligned Business

    In this solo episode of Next Level You, Stefanie is pulling back the curtain on how she has used her Human Design chart to build a business that feels aligned, sustainable, and deeply fulfilling. After last week’s conversation with Anna Nichols, Stefanie takes the conversation one step further by sharing how she is personally applying her Human Design in real time as a Projector with a 3/5 profile. She breaks down how understanding her type, strategy, authority, profile, centers, gates, and environment has changed the way she makes decisions, protects her energy, shows up online, attracts aligned clients, and releases the pressure to build her business the way everyone else does. This episode is a grounded, practical look at how Human Design can become a roadmap for creating a business that honors your energy instead of pushing you toward burnout. In this episode, Stefanie shares:  Why Human Design can be a powerful tool for building a soul-aligned business  How her Projector energy has shaped the way she works, markets, rests, and attracts clients  Why “waiting for the invitation” does not mean doing nothing  How she shifted from chasing clients to focusing on visibility, magnetism, and aligned opportunities  What her 3/5 profile taught her about experimenting, pivoting, learning through trial and error, and sharing what she discovers  How she uses her Emotional Solar Plexus authority to make better business decisions  Why sleeping on big decisions has become a non-negotiable part of her process  How her defined throat center validates her work as a speaker, podcast host, coach, and communicator  The importance of understanding your centers, gates, channels, and environment in business  Why building like someone else can lead to frustration, resentment, or burnout  How Human Design gave her permission to build her business in a way that actually works for her Let us know what you think!

    116. Stop Guessing — Your Human Design Is the Business Plan You've Been Missing

    You do not need to work harder to grow. You need to work in alignment with how you are designed. In this episode, Stefanie sits down with Anna Nichols for a deep, practical conversation about Human Design for business and what it looks like to stop forcing strategies that drain you.

Anna breaks down the pieces of Human Design that matter most for entrepreneurs, including energy types, strategy, authority, and why so many people feel burnt out when they are trying to run their business like someone they are not. This episode is both permission and a roadmap to simplify, trust yourself more, and grow faster by working smarter, not harder. In this episode, you’ll learn:  Why hustle culture can quietly keep you stuck and exhausted  The Human Design basics that make the biggest difference in business  How your energy type impacts consistency, work pace, and capacity  What strategy + authority look like in real life decision making  Why “alignment” creates momentum, clarity, and more ease  How to stop comparing your process to someone else’s and build your own way Anna’s Gift for listeners: Get Anna’s free business report using code NEXTLEVELYOU.

    115. Stop Comparing Your Chapter 1 to Their Chapter 10

    In this Microdose episode, Stefanie shares a mindset shift that can completely change how you grow: learning from expanders without falling into the comparison trap. Recording from Minneapolis while finishing her clinical hypnotherapy training, she explains why seeing someone a few steps ahead of you is one of the fastest ways to expand your belief in what’s possible, as long as you stop comparing your Chapter 1 to their Chapter 10. Stefanie breaks down what an expander is, why your brain needs evidence to believe new outcomes are possible, and how to use someone else’s success as inspiration instead of a reason to feel behind. She shares examples of expanders who have impacted her, plus practical guidance for staying in your lane, protecting your confidence, and letting their wins fuel your own next move. You’ll also hear a powerful reminder: you are likely already someone else’s expander, and your growth matters more than you realize. In this episode:  What “expanders” are and why they accelerate growth  How comparison quietly kills momentum and confidence  How to learn from mentors without trying to become them  Why celebrating their wins and yours matters  The mindset shift of remembering you are proof for someone, too Challenge: Identify one expander in your life. Ask yourself what they’ve shown you is possible, then take one inspired action this week based on that, without comparing timelines. Let us know what you think! Support the show Join my Email List!

    114. The Version of Me That Walked Off That Stage

    Your inner critic will try to talk you out of being seen, and your next level self will do it anyway. In this episode, Stefanie shares a real behind the scenes recap of her first on-stage speaking experience, including what she learned, what surprised her, and why visibility is one of the fastest ways to grow, even when it feels terrifying. She opens up about recording while under the weather, the mental stories that show up right before you take a big leap, and how learning to talk back to your inner critic is part of the work. Stefanie breaks down six key takeaways from the stage, including why audiences connect more deeply with imperfection than polish, why being in front of your ideal audience changes everything, and why the ROI of speaking does not always show up immediately. This episode is a permission slip to stop waiting until you feel “ready,” trust what you are being called to share, and rise even when your nerves are loud. In this episode, you’ll learn:  How to stop believing your inner critic’s stories and talk back to it  Why visibility feels scary, and why it is still worth it  Why imperfection builds trust and connection faster than “perfect” delivery  How to define abundance in your opportunities, even if they feel small  Why speaking from the soul lands more than a scripted performance  Why the ROI of speaking can be delayed, and how to stay anchored anywayLet us know what you think!
