105 : "I quit!" Steph’s leap, Soul Truths & The Woman Within Retreat

In this heart-opening episode, Chloe and Steph share a very personal life update - from big transitions and soul-aligned choices to sacred plans for The Woman Within retreat in Bali. 

Steph reveals the emotional and spiritual journey behind leaving her high-powered corporate role after 18 years to follow a deeper calling. The conversation moves through themes of intuition, grief, spaciousness, identity, motherhood, and how we define success on our own terms. This one’s an ode to the courage it takes to begin again—and the power of trusting yourself even when there’s no clear map.
