Episode Details

Sometimes growth does not just change your business. It changes your circle, your voice, and the way you let yourself be seen.

In this episode of Next Level You, Stefanie sits down with Christi Pratte, founder of Ghost Girl Writing, for an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, identity shifts, aligned friendships, and what happens when your personal growth starts changing the relationships around you. Stefanie and Christi share how they connected organically through Instagram, bonded over similar growth seasons, and quickly recognized the power of finding people who truly understand the season you are in.

Together, they talk about the grief and beauty of relationships shifting, why growth can mirror insecurity in others, and how to know when you are being called into more aligned rooms and connections. Christi also shares how writing became her voice, why you do not have to be the loudest person in the room to make an impact, and how powerful storytelling can open doors when you follow what feels natural and aligned.

This episode is a reminder that your evolution may change what and who fits in your life, and that is not something you need to feel guilty about.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

•  Why entrepreneurship often shifts your relationships and support system 
•  How to navigate the grief of outgrowing old dynamics 
•  Why aligned female friendships can feel so magnetic and healing 
•  How mirroring and triggers show up when one person is growing 
•  Why your voice does not have to look like anyone else’s 
•  How writing, storytelling, and authentic expression can become powerful forms of visibility 
•  Why divine nudges, community, and aligned action can open unexpected doors
