On a cold December night, Stefanie held her two-year-old and newborn in her arms as her husband deployed to Afghanistan. Finding herself all alone, and still grieving the recent loss of her father, she turned to sewing as therapy. She shares how a creative outlet soon became the foundation for a beloved business.

Fresh out of the dorm room, Stefanie married an Army officer and set out on a journey that would take her coast to coast as a military wife. She shares the stories, lessons, heartbreak and laughter that come from raising children, and building a life on the move — and the resilience it takes to start over again and again.

In 2023, at the age of 40, Stefanie was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer — a life-changing moment that redefined her perspective and purpose. Through raw honesty and reflection, she shares the emotional rollercoaster, physical changes, and mental hurdles that come with hearing the words no one wants to hear.
