What if the answers you’ve been searching for aren’t out there, but waiting for you in the quiet?

In this solo episode of Next Level You, Stefanie breaks down the power of silence, solitude, and stillness and why our constant need for noise, distraction, and busyness is keeping us disconnected from ourselves. Drawing from personal experience, motherhood, therapy work, and deep inner reflection, she explains why silence feels so uncomfortable for so many of us, what we’re actually avoiding when we can’t be alone with our thoughts, and how overstimulation blocks intuition, clarity, and healing.

You’ll learn how cultural conditioning around productivity fuels burnout, why avoidance keeps emotions unprocessed, and how stillness can help you reconnect with your intuition, process emotions, and make more aligned decisions. Stefanie also shares practical, realistic ways to start building a tolerance for silence, from micro-moments of stillness to simple daily rituals, without forcing yourself into anything overwhelming.

This episode is a grounded invitation to slow down, listen inward, and reclaim your peace, clarity, and inner knowing — one quiet moment at a time.

In this episode of Next Level You, I sit down with health and wellness coach Cate Reisburg, for a real, honest conversation about women’s health, mindset, and the deeply ingrained beliefs that keep so many of us stuck in cycles of dieting, burnout, and self-sabotage.

Key Takeaways:

• Why fad diets, quick fixes, and extreme approaches don’t lead to long-term health
• How childhood experiences shape our relationship with food and body image
• The truth about weight-loss injections and why lifestyle change still matters
• Why strength training is essential for women—especially after 30
• The impact of alcohol on physical and mental health
• Why “skinny” does not equal healthy
• How to approach health from a holistic, whole-body perspective
• Why true confidence comes from following through on promises you make to yourself

If you’re ready to stop starting over every January…
If you want food freedom, strength, and confidence without burnout…
This episode is for you.

What if the way you’ve been taught to move through life—expecting the worst, bracing for disappointment, preparing for failure, is actually what’s keeping you stuck?

In this solo episode, we’re diving into Lucky Girl Syndrome (aka best-case scenario thinking) and how this simple mindset shift can literally rewire your subconscious, change how you show up, and make life feel lighter, more magnetic, and more fun.

This isn’t about toxic positivity or ignoring reality. It’s about choosing a lens that supports you instead of sabotaging you and training your brain to look for evidence that life is working for you, not against you.

Here’s what we cover:
✨ What Lucky Girl Syndrome really is (and what it’s not)
✨ The psychology behind it: confirmation bias, self-fulfilling prophecy, and the reticular activating system
✨ Why worst-case scenario thinking fuels anxiety—and how best-case thinking becomes the antidote
✨ How society conditioned us to “be realistic” by expecting the worst (and why that blocks blessings)
✨ Lucky Girl Syndrome as an identity vs. best-case scenario thinking as a daily practice
✨ Simple ways to apply this in real life: affirmations, visualizations, gratitude, reframing, and intentional language
✨ How this mindset rewires your subconscious and shifts your energy over time
✨ Signs the shift is working: less anxiety, faster decisions, more confidence, and aligned opportunities showing up

Your challenge for the next 7 days:
Practice Lucky Girl Syndrome. Expect the best. Look for evidence. And watch what changes.
If something “lucky” happens, DM me. I want to hear your stories and share them in a future episode.
