Meet Stephanie Padilla

We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephanie Padilla and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie, what inspires you?
I’m deeply inspired by the idea of freedom. It’s more than just a dream—it’s the reason I’ve taken bold steps toward building the life I truly want. I started my crafting business back in 2020, but this year, I made the decision to take content creating seriously. That leap of faith has brought me closer to the kind of freedom I’ve always craved—the freedom to express myself, to create with intention, and to do work that lights me up. For me, freedom is the light at the end of the tunnel. It means living life on my own terms, showing up for my passions, and being fully present in this beautiful, messy, amazing life. And that’s what keeps me going every single day.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art is all about creativity with purpose. What sets me apart is how authentic and personal I make everything I do, whether it’s my crafting business or content creation. I love creating things that bring joy, and I’m proud of the connections I’ve made along the way—whether it’s sharing a product, an idea, or just a piece of my life.

Getting to where I am today definitely wasn’t easy. It’s been a journey filled with hard work, learning, and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. But with the love and support of my family, I’ve kept going. I’ve learned that persistence and staying true to who you are makes all the difference. You don’t need everything figured out—you just need to keep moving forward, even if it’s one step at a time.

What I want others to know is that it’s all about living life on your own terms. I want other women and moms to know that it’s possible to chase your dreams, even if you’re juggling a million things. Everything I do is for my family, and I hope my story inspires others to take that leap of faith and trust their own journey.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting, I’d want to make sure we had the best time! We’d start with a relaxing day at the beach with some drinks and food. Then, we’d spend a day exploring local shops, having brunch, and grabbing coffee at cute spots.

We’d definitely fit in an outdoor adventure—like kayaking or strawberry picking—and check out a bar. One day, we’d dive into some local culture with a visit to a museum and follow it up with a relaxing spa day and a dinner.

For a little getaway, I’d take us on a road trip to discover hidden gems and small towns, then do some shopping and enjoy a fun night out. On the last day, we’d keep it low-key with a peaceful walk, brunch, and time to reflect on the week.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to thank my amazing husband and kids for always being there for me and believing I can do anything. I’m so grateful for how they take the time to listen, offer their advice, and share their ideas with me. I love them so much, and everything I do is for them.
