Stephanie James, LCSW Keynote Speaker Transformation Coach Filmmaker - When Sparks Ignite and The Spark Series Host of The Spark with Stephanie James Radio Show and Podcast Mind, Body, Spirit.FM Author of The Spark- Igniting Your Best Life and Becoming Fierce https://www.stephaniejames.world/ For thirteen years, I grew up in an amazing family. My life was filled with Sunday dinners at my grandparent's farm, surrounded by aunts, uncles, and cousins, and monthly trips to my family's cabin nestled in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. I felt surrounded by love and nurturing. Life was good! That beautiful, golden childhood was shattered one fateful night when my father told my mother he was in love with another woman and leaving her. They had been married for eighteen years. I had never even seen them argue. My entire world fell apart. With my family broken and feeling very alone, the heartache and negative messages I experienced in the years to follow, left me doubting my self worth, feeling unlovable, and searching for the next fifteen years for something outside of myself to prove I was of value and important. I thought if I just did the right thing, earned the right grades, had the right job, looked good enough, acted perfect enough...I could earn love. Through a life changing experience in my early thirties, I finally came to realize that all of the strength, all the wisdom and all the love that I had been searching for were actually right there the whole time, inside of me. This began a lifelong commitment to healing and to becoming as clear of a conduit as possible for love and healing to flow through me to help others. No matter what challenges I faced in my life, I continued to break through limiting beliefs, open my heart, and reach new depths of healing and expansion; continuing to cultivate a truly ignited life full of purpose and passion. Through my life I have continued to achieve amazing dreams and through my films, events, books, speaking, and coaching, I have been able to help thousands of people to achieve their dreams, live their purpose, and ignite their best lives in full expression. I can help you create a life that takes you, your goals, and your passions to the next level. As you gift yourself with tapping into your full potential, you begin to transform all other areas in your life; your work, family, and self-concept are all positively and powerfully transformed. What lights you up? As a psychotherapist, presenter, transformational coach, author, filmmaker, and podcast host, I have experienced what it means to live fully lit up and fully alive. I have gathered wisdom from some of the most amazing minds and serving hearts on the planet and have synthesized their wisdom with my own knowledge and experience to help amazing individuals, just like you, expand their vision of themselves and ignite their purpose. My personal purpose is to bring as much love and healing to the world as possible. I know that as we live as the greatest versions of ourselves, we illuminate the way for others to do the same. The unique light that is you was meant to shine bright in this world. Shine on!
