I’m Stefanie Hatfield: Mom, wife, teacher, writer, and creator of the course Path Back to You, where I help Moms who are stuck and unable to move forward, find themselves and their sense of purpose again. My background and my life experience are what make this my passion! I’m the daughter of public-school teachers! My parents created an amazing life for themselves and our family on a middle-class income. It was never about the money. It was always about the experience!
I have a Master of Fine Arts Degree and have studied with some of the greatest teachers in movement, voice, and most importantly, human behavior. This inspires me to think outside the box to come up with creative ideas and solutions for my clients.
I have twenty years of teaching experience and seven years of interactive workshops with Moms who I think you’ll find have a lot in common with you! I have worked with so many Moms in so many settings… from coffee shops, to corporate offices, to college classrooms. I’ve had the honor of hearing their stories and helping to guide them to where they want to be!
I am also someone who struggles with anxiety, and I’ve come to accept it as part of my DNA makeup. As author and activist Glennon Doyle says, “Anxiety is my superpower.” It’s what makes me super sensitive and empathic. It’s also something that can hold me back and paralyze me if I’m not on top of the strategies and tools that I use to deal with it. So, I’ve learned to make peace with it, and realize it just makes me more human and more empathic with my client’s own struggles.
Most importantly of all, I am Mom to a seventeen- and twenty-one-year-old. I’ve gone through, and am still going through, the challenges and struggles (and often amazement), of putting two kids out into the world. Not for the faint of heart, right? So, though I may not know your whole story, I have walked in your shoes part way… on the journey of being a Mom!
