The truth about creative souls

By Stephie

May 17, 2025


Hello, hello Reader 👋
This is Stephanie, your supportive fellow WAHM.

Is this the name you would like to be greeted with?
If not, please click “Reply” and write me back with exactly the name I should have above. In this way, you will be helping me to improve your experience every time you open one of my messages
🤗 .

It’s a cloudy Saturday, the kind of soft, grey day where everything feels a little slower. This contrasts with the summer-like weather we had yesterday. My son and I even had our first water gun battle!

My husband and son are out riding the ATV trails (yes, some are already open!), and even though I usually love joining them… today I stayed behind.

Not because I had to.
Because I wanted to.
Because something inside me said, “This is your moment to keep building that thing you believe in.”

So here I am, warm coffee in hand, still working on The Me-Time Nest — a project that started as a personal need and has gently grown into something more.

And I want to tell you something I haven’t said clearly enough yet:

Creative souls need spaces like this.
Not just for fun. For survival. For growth. For coming back to ourselves in a world that moves too fast.

Someone in my X-Factor certification circle told me this week:

“Your idea is powerful. But your messaging needs to go deeper, because people won’t realize how badly they need this unless you show them.”

And she’s oh so right!
Because the truth is, when you’re a creator — especially one surrounded by people who don’t quite understand what you do — it’s easy to start disconnecting from your own spark. You’re always giving, always making, always performing.

But who’s holding space for you?

That’s what the Nest is for!

🪺 Next Session Update!

I thought I had a winner, but it changed overnight.
So instead of rushing to announce it now, I’d prefer to give you a heads up.

Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon (EST) are tied.

So please, keep sending me your preferences so we can figure out the winning time slot together for next few sessions.

I’ll return tomorrow to announce the results of the poll, so you’ll be able to plan your week accordingly.

If I end up with more than one winner, I’ll just rotate between them each week to include as many folks as I can.

So…

If you haven’t joined the waitlist or voted yet, now’s the time to do it:

Remember: All sessions in May are free, and everyone who joins one becomes a Founding Member with early perks and receives that special badge ⤵️

If this project isn’t for you — no worries at all.
You can opt out of Nest only updates here:

And while we’re talking about slowing down…

If you’re planning to step back a little this summer, but don’t want your email list to go totally silent… you’ll want to check out my friend Faith’s Sabbatical Power Emails.

It’s a simple, powerful way to keep showing up for your audience while you rest, recharge, or sip rosé on a patio somewhere. 🍷🌸

Launch price ends tomorrow → Get it for just $37 with code SABBATICAL (normally $97).

+ BONUS!

And if you buy through my link, I’m gifting you a 30-minute bonus brainstorming session to help you map out:

  • Your next seasonal printable,
  • Some engaging lead magnet ideas,
  • Or anything else that is keeping you stuck!

🌱 🌱 🌱

That’s it for now.
I’m going back to my quiet corner to keep shaping this dream.

Hope you get a little time for yourself this weekend too — the good kind.
The kind that fills your cup, not your calendar.

Thanks for being part of my world,

Stéphanie

P.S. If you ever feel drained by the task of constantly emailing your list because stepping away from your business would mean losing the hard-earned momentum you gained (and the income that comes with it), I highly recommend a new training from someone I admire: Sabbatical Power Emails by Faith Lee.

P.P.S. Maybe you’re carving out Me-Time and still trying to figure out how to turn all your digital ideas into actual income. 💸

If that’s you, I’ve got a little something you might want to peek at:

NOTE: I’m moving things around in the backend to make room for a new project. Can you help me spot “bad experiences” regarding my site, your members’ area, communications, or whatever? I would really appreciate your help with this! It will make it so much easier for me to fix and improve everything that needs attention. Thank you!

Disclosure: From time to time, I will include links in the emails that would include promotions for my own products or affiliate products, meaning I get paid when you buy the product. However, I only ever mention products I love and would recommend whether I was being compensated or not. Always use due diligence when buying anything and remember, what works for me may not always work for you!

Thank you so much for your support of Stephie The Happy Mom!
