Steph Sterner

Steph Sterner has spent her life challenging the status quo. As a writer, speaker and teacher, she encourages us to be true to ourselves – to live according to our own highest values. This means asking the important questions: What do we believe? Do those beliefs still work for us? What do we value most? And how to do we protect what we value? Relationships, human nature and emotions are her passion. Through years of study (she's certified in a number of powerful techniques, including NLP, kinesiology, and ZPoint), research, and contemplation – as well as her work with clients and students – she's become an expert in what makes us human. Since publishing her first book on setting boundaries in 2012, she has focused exclusively on the topic. She lives and breathes it, delving into everything from recognizing and dealing with manipulation to deciding when (and how) to put ourselves first without jeopardizing our relationships. Steph has a remarkable gift for seeing beneath the surface, recognizing the patterns we engage in every day. As a writer, she reveals these sometimes confusing patterns in simple terms that we can all understand. Rather than give you systems or formulas to follow, she prefers to share universal principles – and lots of examples to help you to apply them. That way you can come to understand what’s best for you. Born in the US, Steph now lives in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she enjoys writing and speaking, working with clients and students over the internet, and spending time in nature.
