The One Permission Slip Every Woman Over 40 Needs
You've spent years taking care of everyone else.
✨Putting your dreams on hold.
✨Ignoring your own needs.
✨Waiting until life settles down...
✨Waiting until you lose the weight...
✨Waiting until you feel more confident.
✨Waiting until "the time is right."
What if you stopped waiting?
What if today was the day you finally gave yourself permission?
I've created The Permission Slip to help you reconnect with the woman you've always been underneath the responsibilities, expectations, and self-doubt.
Because this next chapter isn't about becoming someone new.
It's about remembering who you are.
Book Me To Speak
Are you looking for a speaker who can inspire, educate, and leave your audience with real tools they can use right away?
With 10 years of experience helping people reduce stress, lose weight without restrictive diets, and build lasting confidence, I bring both expertise and heart to every stage I step on. My talks are designed to spark “aha!” moments, create breakthroughs, and empower audiences to take action in their own lives.
Whether I’m speaking at a wellness event, conference, corporate training, or community group, my goal is the same: to deliver a message that is both uplifting and practical.
Permission to THRIVE Keynote
What if you stopped waiting for permission to take up space, trust yourself, and create the life you actually want? Permission to THRIVE is an empowering keynote that challenges the stories, expectations, and self-doubt that keep women from fully stepping into their next chapter. Through storytelling, relatable insights, and practical tools, Stephanie inspires audiences to stop playing small, reconnect with their confidence, and give themselves permission to thrive—exactly as they are and wherever they are in their journey.
Permission to THRIVE Retreat
Permission to THRIVE is a transformational retreat designed to help women pause, reconnect with themselves, and give themselves permission to step into the next chapter with greater confidence and intention. Through honest conversations, mindset work, reflection, and practical tools, participants are encouraged to let go of what no longer serves them and embrace who they are becoming. It’s more than a retreat—it’s a reminder that you don’t have to wait for permission to create a life that feels truly yours.
The Communication Connection
The Communication Connection explores how the conversations happening throughout a chiropractic practice can shape patient trust, understanding, engagement, and follow-through. Attendees will learn practical communication strategies they can immediately apply with patients and team members to create greater clarity, stronger connections, and a more confident patient experience.

Meet Stephanie
Speaker. Coach. Educator. Storyteller. Woman in constant evolution.
I believe midlife isn't a crisis—it's an invitation to become more fully who you are.
I'm Stephanie Thibodeau, a keynote speaker, coach, author, and Chiropractic Assistant, passionate about helping women and organizations navigate change, build resilience, strengthen confidence, and step boldly into what's next.
My path hasn't been a straight line. I've worked in healthcare as a Chiropractic Assistant, built a coaching business, facilitated retreats and workshops, and discovered that speaking is where so many of my strengths come together.
My experience has taught me that people don't just need more information. They need to feel seen, inspired, and empowered to take action.
That's what I bring to the stage and to my coaching: real-life experience, practical tools, honest conversations, and a whole lot of heart.
I'm especially passionate about helping women give themselves permission to stop shrinking, challenge the stories that hold them back, and create a next chapter that feels authentically theirs.
Because I don't believe your best years are behind you.
I believe they're still being written.
And sometimes, all we need is a little permission to begin.
That's the heart of my work.
There are SO many things I discovered going through your program, but I would have to say the biggest thing would be making time for myself, putting myself first and staying true to a hard NO. There are just so many more!

I know we aren’t done with our journey yet but i want to thank you for being my coach . What I take away from our sessions has absolutely opened up my eyes. I love all the little "tricks' I never thought of like de-cluttering my life to find clarity! You have made me want to be a better version of me.

Physically I lost 5lbs, during our 90 day program, mentally and emotionally the weight I lost is still coming off!! Over the summer so far with all our get togethers and fun I have lost 7lbs, I learned a lot from Stephanie and feel her support daily. Stephanie really focuses on the 1% change. Even though I finished the 90 day program I am still working on the 1% daily. I do believe my success with Stephanie is from her ability to help me open up and share personal issues
