👋🏼 Hi There!

If you’ve stumbled across my page, I’d love to steal a couple of minutes of your time to share a bit about myself and my approach to children's literature.

My name is Stephanie, I am based in Melbourne, Australia. I’m a Mum, a Leo and an aspiring children’s picture book author. I am bursting with passion and excitement to bring my stories to life.

I love all things astrology, numerology, manifestation and tarot. These concepts are at the core of who I am. Throughout my years I've used these concepts to gain practical life skills in managing emotion, dealing with adversity and creating intentional internal dialogue.

As a young girl I used to dream of being Belle from 'Beauty and the Beast'. I would pretend I could read before I actually could! And just like Belle, I’d finish 5 novels in a day! 😉. Reading and writing have always been a tool that I have used to express myself and connect with others.

Jump forward 26 years to when I become a Mum. My three beautiful babies are the greatest gift I could ask for. They inspire me every single day - I’m still just a big kid myself!

My role as a Mum led me to become obsessed with 'conscious parenting' concepts. It's ignited in me a passion to teach kids that how we think and feel are learnt patterns and behaviours that begin before we can comprehend them. Emotion explosions and lack of impulse control are a natural part of their brains, bodies and hearts growing; something that can't be changed but can be nurtured and skills can be adopted to cope and recover.

As a parent I became aware of the huge opportunity of how malleable those early years are in a child's life, and how we can mitigate future mental health challenges. Whilst we don’t have complete control over exactly how these foundational years will land, we have an opportunity to influence and provide impactful tools early on to cope - so that by adulthood they are second nature. What better way to do this than through playful stories that resonate with little ears.

I believe the universe gives back to us what we put in. Through manifestation, healthy self-talk patterns and empathy for others we have power in how we view ourselves and present to the world.

I implement these ideals to children through being able to speak their language, making my stories fun and engaging - with a few well-timed fart jokes to keep it fun.

Thanks for stopping by, I look forward to hearing from you.

Steph 💜
