Wonderful welcome to our newest member @Dr. Stephanie Murauskas. We are so very excited to have you here. Thank you so much for your trust in me and joining this community and I look forward to learning more about you. Please feel free to do an introduction and check the classroom modules and ask any questions you have.

I’m a mom of three, a wife, a retired law enforcement sergeant, and I hold a PhD in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior. My research focused on women, stress, identity, and the invisible pressures we carry, especially when we are high capacity and expected to handle it all. What I kept seeing, in research and in real life, was this. The problem is rarely that women do not know what to do. It is that we are exhausted. So many high capacity women look like they have it together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed or depleted on the inside. We keep pushing. We keep performing. We keep achieving. But we rarely pause long enough to ask whether it actually feels good. The work I do centers on helping women understand stress through a nervous system lens, reframe what is draining them, and build emotional, mental, and physical capacity in a way that is sustainable specific to women. Because we never stop working toward the life we are creating. The question is whether we can create it in a way that actually feels good while we live it. I believe women rise best when we stop pretending we have it all together and start supporting each other honestly. That is where real growth happens. We rise together. 💜 Excited to be part of their community!
