Firefly Scout Field Notes
This is where I share field notes from the work of navigating a complex, heart-led life, blending personal experience with practical insight.
You’ll find thoughtful essays, practical frameworks, and experience-based guidance — rooted in real life, nervous-system awareness, and pattern noticing.
These aren’t personal diary entries or quick takes. They’re reflections meant to help you orient, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and move forward with more clarity and ease.
Take what’s useful. Leave the rest.
Why hello there
My name is Stephanie, a mid-life mom of 2 young boys, married in a Midwest suburb. Long time home-officed worker in my day job and lifelong learner of interesting things. A few years into the mom gig, I was finally getting enough sleep again to wake up to the fact that I didn’t quite know myself anymore. Does that familiar to you? I existed but I wasn’t really living in a way that made me feel that I was living my purpose or in a meaningful way.
