✨ Hi there! 👋 ✨

My name is Stefanie and I am just your average corporate girl. I spent over a decade climbing the corporate ladder, doing everything “right.” From the outside, it looked like success. Inside, I felt quietly disconnected — from myself, from meaning, from life.

Countering Complacency is the kind of “digital journal” I wish I had back then.

Each week, I write for those navigating a similar fog — people who are smart, capable, outwardly accomplished (or striving to be), yet feel lost —haunted by a subtle emptiness they can’t explain.

Through poetic reflections, philosophical ponderings, personal stories, and spiritual insights, I try to explore how we lose ourselves to noise, achievement, and programming — and how we begin to find our way back.

Not by blowing everything up, but by waking up to what’s real.

Countering Complacency is a space for….

The ones who look successful on the outside, but feel restless on the inside.

For the high-achievers who are quietly wondering, “Is this it?”

For those beginning to question the script they’ve been following
