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

Hi Stephanie, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
Any entrepreneur or freelancer will tell you, business is very much an emotional rollercoaster. It’s imperative to have solid coping skills for the high, highs and the low, lows. Certainty is not a thing and neither is predictability. The habits that have most impacted my ability to weather the storms are meditation, exercise, diet and sleep. I am consistent with my yoga practice which serves to calm my nervous system and keep my body strong while increasing energy. I sprinkle in other movement via hiking, swimming, walking and skating. Also, getting a full night sleep helps balance hormones and start each day with a full battery and the food I put in my body is a conscious decision. If I wait until I’m starving to figure out what to eat I will grab something calorie dense that leaves me too sluggish. When I have these habits locked in, it’s like having an anchor in the storm. No matter what is happening around me, I am the constant and I can come back to my center. Only then am I able to operate at my best during challenging seasons.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’ve been an entrepreneur since 2008. I owned my first salon at 27 years old and have gone on to work in television and coach individuals as well as corporate teams. My business is ever changing and evolving as I change and evolve. My main mission is to leave a positive impact and lift people up along the way. I am to set an example for my two daughters that they can do anything and that they can trust their inner wisdom to guide them toward their ultimate fulfillment and it’s a message I hope to share with as many people as possible.
