Stephanie Sherouse is a woman who has walked through fire-and chosen to rise from the ashes with grace, grit, and a pen in hand. A survivor of trauma, chronic illness, and profound personal loss, Stephanie writes not just to tell her story, but to help others find their way through their own. With raw honesty and deep compassion, her words shine a light on the hard roads so many travel in silence. She believes that even in our darkest seasons, there is beauty to be found, lessons to be learned, and healing waiting to unfold. Stephanie is also the author of the forthcoming book Where the Light Still Lives, which explores her personal journey living with dementia, along with stories from others affected by the condition, including caregivers. She is currently working on another book that shares her experiences as a successful entrepreneur-detailing the businesses she built from the ground up, and the values, vision, and perseverance it took to run them well. Beyond writing, Stephanie is a speaker, mentor, and encourager by nature. She has a heart for those who feel unseen or overwhelmed, offering not just inspiration but connection-a reminder that none of us are ever truly alone. She lives in Havana, Florida, with her son, who is both her greatest joy and quiet strength. On her best days, you'll find her wrapped in a cozy blanket, sipping coffee, lost in thought or in a story, always listening for the next person she might help with her words.
