There is always
a seat waiting for you at the table.

Stories, recipes, gratitude practices, and faith reflections for women who want to slow down, reconnect, and appreciate the season they are in.

Take a seat at the gratitude table

Some of the loudest "I love yous" I ever felt were never actually spoken — they were cooked.

A Seat at the Gratitude Table

I wrote this 40-day gratitude journey for anyone who feels busy, overwhelmed, or disconnected and simply wants to become more intentional. You do not have to have it all together. You just have to begin.

​

Each day brings a reflection, a gratitude prompt, an affirmation, a moment of scripture, and a family recipe, because nourishing your faith and nourishing your body are not two separate things.

The Heart Behind Steph & Spice

I am Stephanie Michelle, the creator behind Steph & Spice and author of A Seat at the Gratitude Table. This brand grew from my love of cooking and the stories that happen around the table. But over time, it became a reflection of something much deeper.

Steph & Spice is my way of continuing that conversation with anyone who needs to hear it.
 

"As I approached turning 40, I began a personal gratitude journey that transformed into my first published book. What started as reflection became permission to slow down, to appreciate the season I was in."
