Hi, I’m Steph, consider me like your great-grandma except a few decades younger!
My journey started back somewhere around 2010. I was a new homeowner, living with my soon-to-be-fiance, had just graduated university and landed a permanent job with the federal government. On paper, my life was pretty good.
From elementary, I struggled with chronic acne. Years of specialists with a long list of prescriptions - I ended up suffering a not-so-uncommon severe side effect that ended up with me losing some of my organs. Yes.
Turns out one of those drugs I was put on, was a failed chemotherapy drug. No warning, no informed consent. The pharmaceutical company was able to market based on “off-label use” for teenage acne. They made a killing, and killed many.
I knew I had to find my own answers.
Mama, I know exactly what it feels like to be in the position you’re in right now. I understand not feeling safe or secure. Not feeling like you have any control or leverage in your own home to be able to provide for your family.
I started learning what was in the products I was using, what were we eating… into the rabbit hole I went. And I didn't have to go much beyond the surface to know things weren't right!
It ignited a fire in me to learn the skills our great-grandparents lived by.
For over a decade, I tried and failed miserably at removing our reliance on the system. Like EPIC failures. Couldn’t grow enough for a salad and I still burn water to this day when I cook. 😛
Enter 2020.
Pregnant, I had this urgent sense I need to get my sh*t together for my family… Then the world flipped on its head.
That year I took all the education, skills + failures I had accumulated over the last decade and finally figured out what I had been missing all along.
2021 - I grew enough food to feed my family for a year - using practically no land.
2022 - I lost my marriage. My job was mandated + I refused to comply. I spent <$2000 at the grocery store for the year + started a business helping others do what I did. I created a sense of peace, security and calmness in a world that was insane.
I want you to have that feeling of safety + security for your family. I want you to have a sense of peace. I want you to be able to live and embody your womanhood as a mother, without the added pressure of food security, money or worrying about what the next world insanity will be.
🔥 JOIN THE BASICS 🔥Safety + security for your family without the apocalyptic vibes. 😉
We're bringing the SIMPLE + FUN back to living like great-grandma! 🔥💪
Words of Clarity From Your Community

For the first time in my life I'm not expecting anything to be perfect or me to be perfect. I'm approaching the journey and it's such a f*cking relief, to be honest. Thank you, Steph for your program!!
Courtney
I actually cried though... I think your program is exactly what I needed to move forward. I've felt so terrified and I think being prepared for anything in addition to saving money will help me move forward with my life.
I'm so grateful for you! And glad you're doing what you've been pulled to do.
Shelby

CAN I AFFORD THIS RIGHT NOW?
Mama, you can’t afford not to.
In my first full year implementing THE BASICS strategies I was able to save over $10,000 off my grocery bill. Even if you did 10% of what I'm teaching you, that's $1000 back to you plus the mental + emotional relief.
Then consider all the other ways in which THE BASICS helps you save + create money! Your financial ability is limitless.
DO I HAVE THE TIME RIGHT NOW?
This might not be a good time, but it’s the right time.
Think about how you’re going to feel 6, 12, 18 months from now, because you finally have the no-BS simple action steps you've been looking for and the support.
Imagine that feeling where your nervous system is relaxed because you have your family's needs taken care of.
This program is made mom-to-mom. Everything is made so that you can get your next step while you escape to the bathroom for a pee. :P
You can go at your own pace - If life happens (as I fully encourage you to live!) there is a calendar to refer to so you know exactly what to focus on when you jump back in. ❤️
