Stefanie’s Story
I’ve been through nights when the world felt too heavy to survive. I’ve walked through hell and made it back.

I know what it’s like to feel unsafe in your own home — to survive a near-death experience, the abuse, the hunger, the thirst, the loss. I’ve had seven miscarriages. A stillbirth. Locked away in a shed. Told I’d never be enough. Never smart enough. Never make it.

And yet… here I am.

Somewhere along the way, I learned that even the heaviest pain can become a compass. That you can walk through hell and still choose to build something beautiful. That strength grows quietly, in the nights you think will break you.

As I got older, one thing became painfully clear:

Life is short.
Too short to stay in places that crush you.
Too short to work jobs that drain you.
Too short to miss moments with the people you love.

I wanted to be home with my daughter.
I wanted freedom — to travel, to breathe, to live life on my own terms.
People thought I was crazy for choosing a different path.
But I did it anyway.

And it changed everything.

I’ve built a life where I can balance work and personal life.
Where I can be present, not exhausted.
Where my story — the painful, messy, resilient parts — became the fuel for something bigger.

That’s why I created North Star Virtual Agency. Not just a business, but a pathway — for women who want more out of life.

North Star exists because I believe in second chances, new beginnings, and daring to want a life that actually feels good.

You’re not crazy for wanting freedom.
You’re not unrealistic for wanting more time, more joy, more life.
You’re human — and you deserve it.

If you feel that pull toward something bigger, something freer, something yours…
Follow it.

You made it here.
This is your sign.
And it’s just the beginning.
