Catching up with Stephanie since she wrote in Book #2.Mentioned Resources:https://usolmt.com/ About the Guest: STEPHANIE RODRIGUEZ grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, the daughter of an absent father sent off to the military in Japan, and a young, struggling single mother in a poor family. As an only child she faced and overcame life challenges that continued through adulthood with her own family and four children. Stephanie shares her story of never giving up, no matter what life throws at you, and to keep moving, even though the odds are stacked against you, because nothing is impossible, and you never know what lies on the road ahead. After overcoming a life of domestic violence and emotional abuse, recovering from the depths of addiction, major depression, and post-traumatic stress syndrome, and seven years clean and sober, sharing her story to help others means everything. Stephanie is now remarried in a thriving relationship with Anthony, is proud of her four wonderful children and her grandchildren, and runs a nonprofit based in Arizona called USOLMT, where she provides resources to Massage Therapists on a national scale, and loves the life she’s created from the ashes of what once was.About Deana:Deana Brown Mitchell is a driven, optimistic, and compassionate leader in all areas of her life.As a bestselling author, speaker and award-winning entrepreneur, Deana vulnerably shares her experiences for the benefit of others.
