    Closing The Gap

    Welcome to Season 2 of the Afterbirth Podcast. Season 1 started in the thick of things. This season starts from the other side. In this premiere, Stephany sets the intention for the whole season: shortening the time between what happens to us and what we're going to do about it. She breaks down the four stages of reclaiming your life (Rupture, Reckoning, Reclamation, and Resources), shares what each one looked like in her own story, and explains why so many of us get stuck at the reckoning. She also gets honest about the reality behind the highlight reel: Paris didn't happen until she was 36, and her reclamation started at home with three quiet hours after bedtime. Plus updates on studying for the LSAT, her first angel investment in Sensori, and the launch of Office Hours, her one-on-one coaching. This season you'll hear from a therapist on the science of leaving, experts on storytelling and influencing, a family law attorney, a financial advisor, and more. Stay to the end for four journal prompts to help you take your next step. Afterbirth isn't a one-time thing. Let's do this work together.

    Reclaiming Our Time

    I'm back — and a lot has changed since we last talked. In this episode, I catch you up on everything: two court hearings that gave me the most freedom I've had in almost a decade, the summer I spent alone in Paris (and the backlash that followed), crossing a million dollars in business revenue, and settling into a new home in a new city. This season is called How to Reclaim Your Life, and this episode is the starting point — the honest, unfiltered version of how I got from surviving to actually living. If you're in the thick of it right now, this one's for you.

    The Myth of the 'Perfect Mother' with Noemie Gaines

    Noemie Gaines is a mother, lawyer, wife, and thoughtful advocate for redefining what it means to show up fully in both family life and personal identity. With a career grounded in law and a growing impact in the parenting community—including her recent role on the board of directors for Mama to Village—Noemie brings both professional insight and lived experience to every conversation. In this episode, Noemie challenges the idea that motherhood should sit at the center of a woman's identity. Instead, she makes a compelling case for "decentering" motherhood—not as a rejection of it, but as a way to strengthen it. We explore how embracing a sense of self beyond parenting allows mothers to show up more authentically and sustainably for their children. Noemie reframes "selfishness" as a powerful and necessary gift, pushing back against perfectionism and the pressure to constantly give at the expense of one's own growth. A key takeaway from this conversation is the importance of continuing to learn who you are as an individual. As Noemie explains, evolving alongside your child—rather than losing yourself in the process—is essential to raising confident, supported, and emotionally healthy humans.

    Money Talks with Dennaya Famous

    In this empowering episode, I sit down with Dennaya Famous, a financial advisor whose journey into wealth management is anything but traditional. Before stepping into finance, Dennaya began her career in the fashion industry—but everything changed when she became deeply curious about how to grow her own money. As she learned more, she uncovered a troubling reality: there were few accessible, relatable resources for women—especially women of color—who wanted to build wealth with confidence. That realization sparked a bold pivot and led her to found New Fund Investment, a firm dedicated to helping women take control of their financial futures. Dennaya shares tangible steps you can take today, along with mindset shifts that are just as important as the numbers. Whether you're just starting your financial journey, preparing for motherhood, or looking to level up your wealth-building strategy, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and actionable insight. If you've ever felt like the world of finance wasn't built with you in mind—this conversation will remind you that it absolutely can be.
