The Only Way is Up! [SIGNED COPY]

For over 20 years Steph has managed a home and family while on a path to physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual well-being. Through personal trials, she came to understand that only through significant changes in these four aspects could she experience peace. Steph was raised in an Italian neighborhood in the Boston suburbs that provided a rich source of experiences. She earned a B.A. in Management and a certificate in Communications from Regis College, Weston, MA. Her ethnicity brought with it as much pain as joy in her life. There was a tremendous emphasis on food that contributed to her being overweight. Steph is challenged with a physical disability that added to her feelings of rejection and loneliness, a misunderstanding of God and her faith, and not acknowledging and nourishing her intellect and talents. Today, Steph has journeyed uphill to make strides in maintaining balance and peace in her life with a specific emphasis on physical health. She is a proponent of healthy relationships and working toward continual personal growth spiritually and intellectually.
