Welcome to the Vibrant Happy Women Podcast, stories of vibrant women living happy lives.

And now your host, Jen Ridey.

Welcome to the Vibrant Vibrant Happy Women.

I'm so glad you're here.

And let me tell you why.

I got to interview one of my very, very good friends, Stephanie Rogers.

Stephanie lives three miles down the road. We have several kids who are the same ages, and we just have a lot in common. I've always admired Stephanie.

She's so genuine and real and kind and giving. And I wanted to share some of Stephanie with you.

So I interviewed her, and I think you're really going to love what she has to say.

So without further ado, I'll introduce her, and then we'll jump right into the interview.

So Stephanie is a self-described Southern gal and was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina.

She graduated with a degree in early

childhood education and taught first grade right after graduating. She eventually married her

college sweetheart Ben, and they settled close to me in Madison, Wisconsin, where Stephanie is a

stay-at-home mom for her five kids.

In 2015, last year, American Mothers, Inc. named Stephanie as the Wisconsin Young Mother of the Year.

When she isn't busy with her own family or with her responsibilities on the American Mother's Board of Directors, Stephanie loves gardening, serving in her church, and

volunteering at a local halfway house for women. So we'll jump right into the interview, and I know

you're going to love it. I've given our listeners just a little overview of you, Stephanie. So

take a minute and fill in the gaps and tell us about

who you are personally. We want to get to know you. Well, so there aren't too many gaps.
