This episode features one of the most diverse and hardest working female singer-songwriters the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Songwriter, guitar player, singer, producer, actor, activist...Stephanie does it all.

We all learned how to take responsibility for our womanhood in this episode!! :) What a joy it was to sit down with Stephanie and discuss her career in music--covering her early work in speech pathology, getting coveted spot at the Lilith fair, and to the work she does with her songwriting course You are the Song.

We know you will be as inspired as we were by this incredible artist and human. Enjoy!
