“Changing the way we think, striking at the heart of our thought life and emotions is the key to transforming our lives. Because if we can’t change the way we think about ourselves we can’t come to love ourselves. Learning to love ourselves and moving toward unshakeable thinking is a powerful process that Stephanie has created that will benefit anyone dealing with their healing condition.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"My shelves are full of self-help books from years of searching for the right answer to living a more abundant and powerfully intentional life. Coupled with the Word of God, Stephanie gracefully picks me up, dusts me off, and points me in the right direction. With real-life antidotes that aren’t always as glamorous as her photos, she shares how the 90-Days to Unshakable Thinking transformed her life.
After reading this book, I felt empowered to confront the crevices of my mind. As a busy parent, wife, friend, and employee, I often have little energy left for myself. This book gave me hope. Stephanie shows how your true self can emerge through 90-day cycles of renewal—and she walks with you, step by step, toward the clarity you need."
