“Stephanie was a key factor in my ability to move out of a debilitating pattern of daily panic attacks. .. since the beginning of that process, I have been panic attack free! She is an empathetic listener and provided tools for me to use daily to stay on track.”
Kristen Vallejo

Because of my own struggles with anxiety and sleep issues, I've spent over 20 years researching anxiety and how it affects every part of our life. I teach resilience as a skill that can be learned, practiced, and incorporated into daily living.

I am different than many speakers/presenters – I am an Integrative Hypnotist.  What the heck is that?  It’s hypnosis and a gazillion other modalities all integrated to find the best way to help people rewire and retrain their brains so they can break free from the chains of stress and anxiety.

I am also the author of “Goodbye Anxiety, Hello Freedom,” with 35 simple ways to calm stress and anxiety.

My first career was as Celebrity Radio DJ “Stevie Knox.” My radio morning show had me spinning into insomnia. I was also a mom to two small kids at the time & I realized I had suffered my entire life from anxiety but didn't know it. The medication worked for a short time & then stopped and things went from bad to worse. I knew I needed to find a way out of the prison of anxiety, so I began researching holistic & natural ways to calm my stress and anxiety. 

I found hypnosis & everything changed. I felt a sense of peace I had never experienced; I was dealing with life better (my husband had been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness) & I knew I had a mission to help others with this knowledge. I began using my voice to literally hypnotize my clients to make incredible life changes just as I had used my voice on the radio to bring listeners back day after day.

Hypnosis is not what we see on TV and in the movies.  It is a powerful way to access our subconscious mind – and THAT is where REAL change happens.
Hypnosis works!

“Forget about therapy and talking through what happened 15 years ago.  This is where the real healing takes place – with Stephanie.”~Janet Johnson

After working with thousands of clients, I came to understand that almost all of the issues I help clients work through are rooted in fear and anxiety!  Fear of being "found out"/Impostor Syndrome, fear that manifests as addictions, weight issues, health issues, financial problems, relationship problems and more...

I have a special talent, and I care deeply for, clients who:

Are ready to change
Are seekers
Know they can be more, do more and have more
Don’t want to waste any more time
Are spiritually open
Are ready to come out of hiding and embrace their true strength

Most of my clients have been down the therapy and/or coaching route and are still struggling.  I have a unique abiliity to drill down and get to the root of the problem and, with gentle healing, help my clients make tiny tweaks for BIG Change.

My work with clients is always unique – each client is unique and each session is unique. It’s like peeling the layers of an onion, layer by layer. During a session, we may use hypnosis, EFT/Tapping, Reiki, NLP, doTERRA essential oils, meditation, hypnotherapy, music and many other techniques and practices. I used to have a set process for how a session would go, and when I finally “let go” and trusted my intuition, the miracles kept showing up! If you’re looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation, you’ve been struggling with a specific issue  or you’re just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I can help you make tiny tweaks for BIG Changes!

Author - Goodbye Anxiety , Hello Freedom

"Stevie Knox"

"Knowing" at the age of 14 that I WAS going to be on the radio (and knowing nothing about the Law of Attraction back then), I pursued my passion and became a very successful on air radio personality; spending most of my time on air in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale market and the last stint on air in Portland, Oregon.

On Air Personality

Empowering women in their 40s to let go of fear, doubt and stress and find lasting peace and joy through hypnosis

For 20 years, I have helped people rewire their brains for less stress, anxiety and sleepless nights and more calm, confidence and FUN.

Unlike traditional approaches which can take months or years, using hypnosis we get RAPID RESULTS FOR LASTING CHANGE.

I am THE VOICE OF CALM; first as Celebrity Radio DJ "Stevie Knox" when I "hypnotized" my listeners to come back day after day, for the past 20 years, literally hypnotizing my clients as an Integrative Hypnotist.

Fighting for the life you’ve chosen is infinitely easier than fighting for a life you never asked for.




As a US American that moved to spain over 13 years ago, I am often asked if any number of things from quality of life and building a business to systemic racism and raising a family are “better” or “easier”here than in the US.

Objectively speaking, there are a few factors in the assessment that are absolutely no-contest. Universal healthcare is #1.

For everything else, however, I tell them this:

Building a life of your own design takes equal parts courage and commitment. It’s easier for some of us than others—and EVEN as a Black woman, my US passport privilege has no doubt made my move more straight forward than most.

However, when it comes to the tough socio-political stuff, the conversation changes.

The short answer is, no. There is not less hardship. There is not less racism. And no, neither are easier to experience here than in the US. 

But these experiences HAVE been easier to overcome when I wake up, take a walk, stare out at my Mediterranean “backyard” in awe of having made a lifelong dream of endless creative inspiration, location independence, multi-language mastery and a seaside permanent address happen JUST because I said so. 




So no, living outside of the US doesn’t change my racialized experience or shield me from reality.

But it sure does make it easier to show up and face it.

If the first 10 days of this calendar year have not made it abundantly clear to you yet, let me take a moment and spell it out:

2025 activism is not going to work in 2026.
2025 allyship is not going to work in 2026.
2025-level impact is not going to move the needle in 2026.

It's time for you to figure out what that means for you.

Change is coming, ready or not.

Are you in or out?

Well, well, well. It turns out #WeirdLinkedIn really DOES bring all the folx to the yard. This post? Literally 20x the reach of every post from December COMBINED with the exception of one.

Not a Forbes feature.
Not a highly-anticipated launch.
Not a promise of thousands of dollars ROI on your program investment.
Not even educational outrage.

Just being weird, unprofessional, a little swear-y, and responding to all-ish if your comments.

Let this be a message to all my fellow misfits: 2026 is your year. You just gotta tell it like it is, overshare a couple times a week, call out BS, and cheer on the people that make this platform worth being on. 💛

...But seriously, WTAF. 😤

"...There are thousands of answers, at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be." —Octavia Butler.

Today is no ordinary #MotivationMonday. Today is not for being quippy or weird(er than usual). Instead, today is for asking ourselves the serious questions. The right questions. The hard questions. Questions like:


If you were truly unafraid to fail, how would you put your name, your reputation and your money on the line for what is right and just?


I will say it again and again and again: 

Lock in, allies. 2020-2025 activism is not going to work in 2026 and beyond. Your courage is critical in this moment.

We're 12 days into this man-made year.

Who are you choosing to be?

Screen shot of an instragram post thar reads: "There's no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There's no magic bullet. Instead, there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be." The quote is by Octavia Butler, posted by @thereclaimed on Instagram.

If you are a sentient human being in 2026 carefully evading the news, I know what you might be feeling right now.

Helplessness.
Lack of resources.
Afraid to take action.
Questioning of identity.
Unable to discern next steps, personally or professionally.

I hear you. I AM you.

But here’s the thing:

Even in times of absolute turmoil, especially in the last 18 months of life, business, and global events, there are some things I’m extremely proud of.

I’m still here. I am still innovating. I still experience some form of joy on a daily basis. Most of all, I am still hopeful that what I’ve just gone through has set the stage (and a new standard) for what my life will look like as I turn a new decade next year.

Why?

Because I haven’t had to do any of it alone. 

Whether you are an impact professional or an everyday changemaker just trying to leave this place a little better than you found it, I want this to be the year that you stop trying to be okay with everything that isn’t and build the thing you know is going to change the world, starting with you.

The question is:

How can I help? 💛

When I wrote the blueprint for the R.I.S.E. Changemaker’s Academy, I wasn’t trying to create another complicated new business system.

I was trying to put complicated systems in a language anyone could understand.

The other week I said that when it comes to impact, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel; you just have to put them onto your car. 


The Code™️ is kind of like that.


If I ask you to write a one-page mission statement describing the 7.9145 core competencies of a businesss that has never existed or generated income, you’re going to fire me. 

But if I ask you to state your cause and why you care about it?


We’d have to spend an hour trying to get it down to three paragraphs because you’re so passionate about the communities you serve, you could write a dissertation on your “why.”


If I ask you to build a fully-coded fake door website MVP to test product-market fit for your top three ICPs until you’ve determined viability, you’re going to leave with a migraine. 

But if I ask you who you dream of working with and to think who in your network already fits that description so you can offer them a promo session in exchange for a testimonial?


Same outcome, nary a wayward acronym to be found. 


It’s not just about simplicity; it’s about translatability.

I’m not here to overwhelm you with business-speak.

I just want to get you paid the best way I know how:


Being yourself. 🌟


14 spots left, and we’re already having a great time getting to know each other. 

There are people out there waiting for your DM, for your offer, for your guidance. 

Let 2026 be the year you release your fears and start “making this work.”

I’ll be waiting to greet you at the door. 🫶🏾
