Take a seat at the gratitude table
Some of the loudest "I love yous" I ever felt were never actually spoken — they were cooked.
my new book
A Seat at the Gratitude Table
I wrote this book for the woman who has been taking care of everything and everyone, but knows it may be time to check in with herself too. You do not have to have everything figured out before you begin. You just need a willingness to be honest about what has been feeding you and what has not.
​
Over 40 days, we will sit with Scripture, guided reflections, gratitude prompts, affirmations, space to journal, and a few comforting family recipes. Together, these practices introduce what I call the Diet of Gratitude: a more intentional way of nourishing your heart, mind, body, and spirit so you can grow into your healthiest self from the inside out.

MEET STEPHANIE
The Heart Behind Steph & Spice
I’m Stephanie Michelle, the woman behind Steph & Spice and the author of A Seat at the Gratitude Table. What began in my kitchen eventually became something much deeper. I realized that the table was never only about the food. It was also where we slowed down, told the truth, gave thanks, and made room for one another.
​
Today, I’m creating the kind of space I believe we all need sometimes: a place to feel welcomed, seen, encouraged, and reminded that becoming your healthiest self can begin with something as simple as gratitude.

"As I approached 40, I began looking more honestly at my own life and paying attention to what had been feeding my heart, mind, body, and spirit. That season of reflection became my first published book and what I now call the Diet of Gratitude."
