People We Adore: Stephanie Thoma

We all have people we meet along the way, connect with and know we adore. Meet Stephanie!

Q: Tell us a little bit about you, your company and your company's mission.

A: Holistic Ambition is redefining what it means to be successful with more wellbeing, meaning and fun in your career business and relationships. It's a podcast, live event series currently in Austin, TX's Capital Factory, and a 1:1 coaching business supporting entrepreneurs in gaining clarity and confidence to purse and be recognized for their true talents.

A bit about me in bio form:

Stephanie is a Forbes-featured author of the best-selling networking book, Confident Introvert and host of the podcast/event series, redefining what it means to be successful with less hustle and more fun, meaning and wellness, Holistic Ambition. Stephanie has helped thousands of people celebrate their strengths, step into their authentic confidence, and make meaningful connections through building out community over 1k in-person events at organizations like YPOSF, speaking at places like Harvard University, years behind-the-scenes at TEDx, and 1:1 coaching.
Q: What is your superpower? Tell us about a moment you recall that your superpower served you?

A: Connecting people and building community. A moment this served me was a collection of moments that compounded, when I got the idea for a panel event series, Women Creating IRL Community, highlighting the female community leaders in my city. It's happened 3x in San Francisco, and currently once in Austin, TX and I can't wait to highlight more women in-real-life!
Q: What are your rituals for self-care, healing or de-stressing? Is there a special place you go?

A: I love to have a good bath (coined by my friend Courteney Kay) where you drop what you're doing while working from home to take a 10-15 minute bath break. I'll likely adding in epsom salts and lighting a candle to tune into my power, which I equate with self love.
Q: With which Chakra do you most identify and why?

I identify with my third eye chakra. When I was younger I would often see purple when I closed my eyes by default, and now as an intentional meditator, I continue to plug into the beautiful shade.
