Understand what you feel. Respond with intention. Grow in faith.
Have you ever known how you wanted to respond in a moment and then found yourself doing the very thing you were trying to change?
You might even understand where a pattern in your life comes from, but you’re still trying to figure out what to do when it shows up again.
You’ve learned so many helpful things in therapy, prayer, self-help content, or personal reflection.
But you find yourself wanting support with actually bringing those insights into your everyday life!
At Rooted Soul, Grounded Mind, we help Catholic women:
Understand
Explore why you think what you think, feel what you feel, and act the way you do – with curiosity and compassion.
Practice
Learn practical skills to respond to your thoughts, emotions, and everyday challenges with greater intention.
Grow
Bring what you’re learning into your relationships, daily decisions, vocation, and faith life with Christ.
Through speaking, workshops, resources, and coaching, we bring practical psychological tools into conversation with our Catholic faith.
MEET The founder
Hello friend
I’m Samantha Stefaniak. I’m a Catholic convert, educator, coach, wife, and mom with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and years of experience working as a counselor.
I care deeply about helping women understand why they do what they do, feel what they feel, and think what they think! Because once we begin to understand what’s happening within us, we can make more thoughtful choices about how to move forward.
My work brings together practical psychological concepts, Scripture, and Catholic spirituality through teaching, reflection, and opportunities to practice.
Sometimes that happens in a room full of women at a retreat. Sometimes it happens through a workbook at your kitchen table. And other times it happens in a coaching conversation where we slow down and explore how a lesson applies to your actual daily life.
My prayer is that Rooted Soul, Grounded Mind provides you with the resources and support you need to develop skills you can keep returning to as you grow personally and spiritually. By doing so, then you will have what you need to navigate any season in front of you.
