Ashes Into Beauty is to provide hope, resources & a sense of community. To share insights & tips from everyday folks on how they got through the dark days of divorce & turned it into something beautiful! I am a proud mom of five children, one with the gift of autism. I enjoy making memories & establishing traditions with my tribe. I enjoy meaningful conversation while connecting with others over yummy local food & drinks. My family of origin moved to OK in 1982 & we haven’t left since! Exploring our great state & supporting local businesses is one of my favorite pastimes. I thrive on living a holistic & nutritarian lifestyle. You can find me in the gym pumping iron, punching a boxing bag or dancing the night away on Saturday nights! I am a huge advocate for healing through counseling & personal growth with a life coach or mentor. This life is not meant to be lived figuring it out alone. Please reach out any time if you ever feel alone. - Stephanie Marie Laswellhttps://www.buildingbridgesokc.org/thedivorcedlifefalseepisodicnopodcastEpisode 27 with Host Stephanie Marie Laswell: Preparing for MediationEpisode 27 with Host Stephanie Marie Laswell: Preparing for MediationTips from a Divorce Coach on how to best prepare for the divorce mediation process.
