Stephanie McKeon’s Bio:

Stephanie remembers struggling with anxiety for as long as she can remember, even as a very young child. A few years ago, Stephanie sought out coaching to learn how to handle her anxiety even slightly better (one could argue that she was not, in fact, handling it at all).

She was no stranger to panic attacks, and was always able to find a reason to be anxious in any situation. Coaching helped her anxiety so much that in 2022, Stephanie also became a certified life coach. She wanted to be able to help others increase their zest for life by decreasing their anxiety, just as she had.

Despite suspecting that she had ADHD for many years, getting diagnosed as severely ADHD came as a bit of a shock. She went to work processing this using the priceless tools she gained as a life coach, and quickly discovered a passion in helping others do the same.

Stephanie’s background includes work in theology, psychology, and philosophy. In true ADHD fashion, her interests are multi-faceted, and include reading, learning anything about anything, documentaries, traveling, music and exercising.

These days, Stephanie handles her anxiety (when it happens) with self-care, and addresses her emotions rather than ignoring them – something she didn’t know was a possibility!
