CoreFactor Transformative Coaching

Today I’m grateful to have completed my 19th certification training as a Life Mastery Consultant!

One quote that has stayed with me throughout my training comes from Sir Isaac Newton:
“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

I’m so thankful for my mentors, the amazing faculty, and the incredible community at the Brave Thinking Institute whose shoulders I’ve been able to stand on.

You’ve opened me up to new possibilities, helped me achieve my own dreams, lifted me higher, challenged me to expand and see things in new ways, and believed in me even on the days I doubted myself.

Because of you, I get to keep learning and growing, to help others see what’s possible for themselves, step into their own dreams, and create lives they truly love.

Thank you for being part of my journey of growth and evolution.

Here’s to all the giants who help us rise!

Take a moment and notice the words you’ve been using lately, especially in your own thoughts.

They matter more than you realize.

The words we use shape how we see our lives, what we believe is possible, and how we move forward.

It’s subtle, but powerful.

“I don’t have time for this right now.”
“I’ll start when things calm down.”
“I’m just not ready yet.”

Those kinds of thoughts don’t just reflect how we feel. They reinforce it.

But a small shift in language can change what we see:

“What’s one small step I can take today?”
“What would starting small look like now?”
“I can begin before I feel fully ready.”

Same life. Same circumstances.
Different words. Different possibilities.

For the next 24 hours, just notice.

If something feels heavy or limiting, pause and ask,
“What’s another way I could see this?”

You might be surprised what opens up.

To becoming more intentional with every word you choose.

“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
~ Rumi

I love this quote because it’s so easy to feel like what we’re facing is bigger than we are.

Sometimes we think, “I have a gigantic problem, a big dream, or a huge challenge to overcome.” But when we use language like this, it can trick us into believing we’re small or limited.

The truth is, what’s within us is greater than anything we face.

Whatever you may be facing right now is actually calling more of you forward.

And you aren’t just facing life, you embody its creative, ever-moving energy. You are, as Rumi says, the universe in motion.

When we pause and remember that the life within us is greater than any circumstance in front of us, we open ourselves to new ideas, fresh perspectives, and next steps we might not have seen before.

So if you’re looking for an encouraging reminder today: Whatever you’re navigating right now isn’t here to diminish you. It’s here to help the moreness within you emerge.

What “moreness” within you is ready to come forward today?

Change doesn’t usually happen because we want it badly enough.
It happens when we are willing to see our lives differently.

Most of us are living inside familiar patterns of thought and belief, often without realizing it. We think the same way, respond the same way, and then wonder why our experience doesn’t really change, even when a new year begins.

Awareness is powerful.
New perspective creates freedom.

If you’d like some time to pause, explore new possibilities, and gain a fresh perspective on what you would love to create in the year ahead, I’ve reserved space in my calendar to support you.

As we wrap up 2025, I’ve been reflecting on a powerful truth:

Some people live 90 years. And a lot of us often live one year, 90 times.

On the outside, some things might change, but on the inside, it can feel the same, year after year, as old habits and patterns repeat themselves:

- The same stress
- The same overthinking
- The same worries, doubts and frustrations
- The same reactions to people, circumstances, and situations
- And the same feeling that there’s never enough time for what we really want to do

It’s not that we don’t want change.
It’s that real, lasting change starts within us, with how we think, what we believe, and how we see ourselves. And honestly, that’s hard to do alone.

But here’s what I’ve learned:
When we honestly look at where we are, especially with someone who can see our strengths and potential, it’s so much easier to get a new perspective. That’s when everything can shift: we see new options, and real transformation becomes possible.

Between now and the end of December, I’m offering a few complimentary Vision & Clarity Sessions.

In this session, you’ll clarify what you truly want for the year ahead, uncover what patterns are holding you back or that you’re ready to let go of, and leave with inspired next steps to move forward feeling clear and empowered.

If you’re craving a fresh start, more ease, confidence, freedom, or just want to feel more like “you” in 2026, DM me "Yes," and I’ll send you the details to reserve your spot.

Let’s make 2026 a year of clarity, growth, and fulfillment together!

I’m honored to join Bella Otér as part of their Grand Opening celebration this Saturday, Dec. 6th in Evanston, just outside Chicago, where I’ll be leading a 60-minute Radiance Workshop supporting women in reconnecting with their confidence, authenticity, and inner radiance.

This workshop brings together mindful self-care and the artistry of intimate wear, because what women choose to wear closest to the skin can influence mood, ground the body, quiet the mind, and invite a deeper sense of calm.

Every piece at Bella Otér is chosen with this intention: to help women reconnect with their innate ease, beauty, and renewal.

If you’re in the area, I’d love to have you join us and experience this thoughtfully curated boutique.

Event details are on Bella Otér’s website: https://www.bellaoter.com/pages/learn-more

Join me LIVE today for an inspiring conversation with Kim Grzesek, founder of the new Bella Otér, located in Evanston, IL.

We will explore her vision behind this beautiful space and how the garments we choose closest to our skin can genuinely support our wellbeing and sense of radiance throughout the day.

We will be covering:

- What sparked her passion to create a boutique designed to help women feel more supported, confident, and connected to themselves.

- How high-quality fabrics and intentionally chosen pieces influence our mood, mindset, and self-image, which shapes how we move through our day.

- What she has learned from her travels studying European craftsmanship and artistry, and how she is bringing that elevated experience to women in Evanston and online.

- Why intimate wear can become a meaningful practice of self-care and renewed radiance at every age and season of life.

We will also be talking about the store’s Grand Opening on Saturday, December 6th. As part of the celebration, I am delighted to be collaborating with Kim to offer a special radiance workshop for women.

As the holiday season begins, many of us naturally turn our thoughts to gratitude.But what if gratitude could do more than help you feel thankful? What if it could transform how you experience your life?

I’m hosting a free online master class designed to help you explore The 3 Levels of Gratitude, a deeper practice that can shift your awareness, open you to new possibilities, and help you approach the holidays and the new year ahead with more peace, clarity, and confidence.

From Thanks to Transformation: The 3 Levels of Gratitude That Change Everything

Wednesday, November 19 | 7:00–8:00pm CST

You’ll reflect, reimagine, and learn a simple practice to help you experience and apply gratitude in ways that continue to enrich your life well beyond the class.

Click the link below to register and invite a friend to join you! It’s an empowering way to close out the year with fresh perspectives and to welcome growth and new opportunities.

From Thanks to Transformation: The 3 Levels of Gratitude That Change Everything — Stephanie T. Puente In this free, interactive online master class, you’ll explore a powerful framework for gratitude that helps you stay open to possibility and growth, even when circumstances don’t look the way you prefer.

Every powerful change begins with a single thought that says, “What if I could?”

Our dreams are the vehicles that help us to grow, stretch, and discover new possibilities. They awaken the awareness and truth that we are so much more than our current circumstances or our past.

What if you chose to believe something new about yourself today?

“I am capable.”
“I have what it takes.”
“Every day I’m growing in confidence, clarity, and awareness of who I really am.”

Confidence in the process of growth doesn’t arrive all at once. It unfolds as you consistently choose new thoughts and actions that support your highest self.

What’s one new belief you can think today?

Celebrating My 18th Advanced Training as a Certified Life Mastery Consultant!

Today, my heart is full of gratitude and excitement for what’s next.

From the very beginning, I felt called to speak, teach, and support others, but I wasn’t sure what I had to share beyond my own story of growth. Everything shifted when I discovered the Brave Thinking Institute. There, I learned a proven system based on timeless, universal principles that empower people to create real and lasting results, no matter their starting point.

Becoming certified in 2014 was just the beginning. Since then, I’ve invested in 18 advanced certification trainings and ongoing mentorship with world-class faculty and mentors. I stay in the study because I believe there’s always more to learn and more ways to grow. That commitment helps me show up as the best coach I can be for the people I serve.

Over the last decade, I’ve had the privilege of sharing these tools with organizations and teams, as well as incredible individuals and long-term clients. Time and again, I’ve witnessed the power of this framework in helping people gain clarity, ignite purpose, and achieve extraordinary breakthroughs.

When we have the courage to think in new ways and take bold action, we open the door to new possibilities in our lives.

If you’re looking for a speaker or a coach for yourself or your organization, I’d love to connect. Let’s start a conversation about creating the results and the life you truly want.

Here’s to continued growth, new opportunities, and helping each other live lives we love!

I’m thrilled to share that I’m speaking at the 6th Annual SheIsMe Conference, happening this week: October 21–26, 2025!

I’ll be sharing my talk, “From Shrinking to Shining: 3 Keys to Live with Greater Clarity, Authentic Confidence & Purpose.” It’s all about breaking free from self-doubt and fear so you can step fully into who you are and the life you’re meant to live.

If you’ve been feeling called to grow, reconnect with your purpose, or remember what’s possible for you, this is your sign to join us.
