Welcome to the reclamation
IT’S TIME TO STEP INTO THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF YOUR HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.
I’m Steph Jagger and I’m a coach, writing mentor, and author. My work is for people who want more.
More time. More space. More ease.
More meaning, connection, and belonging.
More aliveness, energy, and liberation.
More access to themselves and their deepest knowings. More spirited self-expression from that place.
And perhaps A LITTLE PLEASURE too.
MY WORK IS DEPTH WORK.
It is about REMEMBERING, RELEARNING, and RETURNING to the kind of fluency you were born with. It is about navigating initiation— A.K.A. aligning with, and stepping into the myth of your most flourishing self. It is about recreation and re-creation, profundity and levity, humanity and divinity.
You may not know (or be able to articulate) exactly why you’re here, but if you feel yourself leaning in . . . lean in— you’re in the right place.
OFFERINGS, EXPERIENCES & INVITATIONS
May we access the million buds of aliveness you hold within you. May they all come into bloom.
All of my offerings are connection-rich and content-lite. I tether my work to a sense of belonging, I meet your humanity with the depths of my own. I use wilderness outside of us as an access point to the wilderness inside of us. And I encourage a use of senses to, you know . . . make sense of things. My focus is on pacing, presence, and deep attunement.

My first book, (A.K.A. my maiden voyage in so many ways), was a coming-of-age tale, set in the snow.
It details my world-record-breaking journey of following winter around the world on a physical, emotional, and spiritual journey that tested my mind, body and soul.
A Wild-esque memoir of adventure and reflection. — SELF

My second book, (A.K.A. my initiation into archetypal mother) details a trip I took with my mother shortly after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. It explores the ever-changing terrain of dementia, deep remembrance, and motherhood and has been called “a staggeringly beautiful examination of how stories are passed down through generations.”
