Meet Stephanie Schultz
Hi, I'm Stephanie, founder of Rising With Resilience.
Supporting others has been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. Whether through friendships, leadership roles, or family, I've always been drawn to helping people feel seen, heard, and supported.
My path to coaching is shaped by both professional experience and life's challenges. After earning my bachelor's and master's degrees in Social Work, I spent several years working in the field before transitioning into business ownership as my husband and I were starting a family. For more than 25 years, my husband and I have built and grown Innovative Signs together.
Throughout those years, I've led teams, supported employees, navigated change, solved problems, and helped people work through challenges. I've also experienced my own seasons of uncertainty, loss, rebuilding, and beginning again. Those experiences taught me that resilience isn't about avoiding hardship it's about learning how to move through it with courage, self-awareness, and support.
Choosing to become a certified life coach was a deeply intentional decision. While making a career change at this stage of life felt uncertain at times, the pull toward this work was stronger than my fear. It gave me the opportunity to return to my passion for helping others while bringing together my background in social work, leadership, business ownership, and lived experience.

Today, I help individuals navigate life's transitions, strengthen their confidence, and reconnect with what matters most. My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in real life.
When I'm not coaching, you'll usually find me spending time with family and friends, hiking and enjoying the outdoors with my dogs, attending live music events, or planning my next travel adventure. These experiences keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of connection, balance, and embracing life's journey.
If something in my story resonates with you, I'd be honored to connect and learn more about yours.

"Working with Steph has been game changing. She has an incredible ability to help you cut through the noise and truly understand, accept, and even celebrate what you want—not what you think you should want.
What really sets her apart is that she asks thoughtful, fact-finding questions that shift your perspective and lead you to your own clarity. I went from feeling down and stuck to feeling confident and clear in the direction I wanted to go.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure, I highly recommend working with her! She is the best accountability partner and cheering squad anyone could ever ask for! "
