The Founding Sister Roadmap

Your Divine Blueprint for the Second Life The transition into your “Second Life” is not meant to be navigated alone. The Founding Sister Roadmap is a high-touch, one-on-one intensive designed to help you distinguish between the noise of the world and the steady voice of the Holy Spirit.

How It Works:

1 The Soul-Intake Questionnaire: An extensive digital intake diving into your prayer life and recurring “nudges.”

2 The Analysis: Steph personally prays over and reviews your intake using 15 years of intuitive experience.

3 The 30-Minute Strategy Intensive: A private call to reveal your Roadmap, discern your prayer experiences, and lock in your lifestyle goals.

4 The Result: A clear spiritual “marching order” and the confidence to walk in your authority.
