Her Interview

Ten minutes with Stevie

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to the people I have the opportunity to reach and help. Throughout my life and career, I've learned that our greatest challenges can become our greatest opportunities for growth and purpose.


Success isn't measured by titles, recognition, or accomplishments. To me, success is using my experiences, knowledge, and resilience to help others navigate difficult seasons in their lives. Whether someone is facing loss, self-doubt, major life changes, or personal struggles, I want them to know they are not alone.


I believe that when we turn our pain into purpose and use our experiences to uplift others, we create meaningful change. If I can help someone feel understood, regain hope, or find the strength to keep moving forward, then I consider that a success.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

The best career advice I've ever received is to give your best effort to whatever path you choose. Success rarely happens overnight, but when you stay focused, remain consistent, and commit fully to your purpose, opportunities begin to appear. I've learned that passion, perseverance, and integrity will take you much farther than talent alone. When you lead with authenticity and genuinely care about helping others, success becomes a natural byproduct of the work you do.

03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Stay true to who you are and never lose sight of why you started. It's easy to become distracted by comparison, competition, or the opinions of others, but lasting success comes from authenticity, consistency, and a genuine desire to serve people. Focus on learning, keep growing, and don't be afraid to take up space. Most importantly, remember that setbacks are not failures—they are opportunities to learn, adapt, and become stronger. If you remain focused on your purpose and continue moving forward, success will follow..

04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

One of the biggest challenges today is that many people are facing significant life changes, emotional struggles, and uncertainty without feeling truly supported or understood. At the same time, the greatest opportunity is helping people realize they are not alone and providing them with the tools, encouragement, and confidence to move forward.


In a world where so many people are searching for connection and authenticity, there is tremendous opportunity to make a meaningful impact. I believe people can recognize genuine compassion and integrity, and those qualities create trust, hope, and lasting change.

05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

The values most important to me are family, integrity, compassion, and resilience. Family has always been my foundation and my greatest motivation. Everything I do is guided by a desire to create a better future for my children and to make a positive difference in the lives of others.


I also believe in treating people with kindness, respect, and understanding. Life can be challenging, and we never truly know what someone else is going through. Leading with empathy, staying true to my values, and continuing to grow through adversity are principles that guide both my personal life and my work.
