WELCOME! Thank you FOR being a part of my journey!

---

This new journey is not about Stephanie Jones, the CEO, leader, entrepreneur, business woman or speaker. It's about me without all the titles, the vulnerable side of me. The woman that most people don't know. As a woman of God first and foremost, I have dedicated my life to fulfilling my life's purpose for more than 20 years, I am grateful for the many blessings and favor provided by God along the way. 

As a servant leader and disruptor, I have strived to use my gifts and talents to make a difference in other's lives, businesses, and communities. My journey of service has been a rollercoaster ride with highs and lows and wins and losses. Tears cried. Sleepless nights. Feeling overwhelmed and most times alone on this journey. 

Over the years, I became lost in my work and purpose, not knowing where Stephanie the CEO and entrepreneur ends, and where Steph, the mom, wife , sister and friend begins. It has been an uphill battle working for change for underrepresented and underserved communities throughout my career. It's meaningful and impactful work, yet most dare not undertake, and it's not for the faint at heart. 

Health challenges and just being tired mentally, physically, and emotionally has brought me to a place of self-reflection, questioning how much longer I can ride this nonstop rollercoaster ride, and if I have it within me to stay the course. I've been seeking God for answers. I know I must shift course for my well-being.

The Selfish Luxury Traveler is a personal passion project that will help me be intentional about creating some form of alignment in my life. It's my way to redirect how I spend my time to ensure that I focus on self care, self love and rediscovering what I need for me to be happy and to do the things that bring me joy! The way I've been living is no longer conducive to my well-being, especially as a woman turning 60 next year.

Traveling to experience the world for personal gratification and to simply slow down to just be in the moment, is not only what I desire...it's what I need and deserve. And, I deserve to do it as a luxury traveler, as defined by me! This is my time to do me! Creating alignment in life is what I must do. It's no longer an option! 

Anyone who knows me will attest that I do not have a selfish bone in my body and that I have always put the needs of others before own. I will continue to serve and fulfill my purpose until Gods says otherwise. But, I also realize that God never intended for me to deplete myself serving or working for others. I know that's not His will!  

The Selfish Luxury Traveler is my way of reprioritizing every area of my life to refill my cup through travel, rebuilding a supportive community of like-minded women, prioritizing my spiritual and fellowship life, and making my needs and dreams a priority. I need my cup to remain full to continue to serve which I desire to do. I will be mindful to put my mask on first!

Luxury travel is not a privilege for me, it's my personal preference and simply what makes brings me joy!
