Welcome to Voice Memos From Your Bestie.

Think of this first episode like the voice memo your best friend sends when she wants to sit down and really talk about life — the honest version, not just the highlight reel.

In this episode, I’m sharing a little about who I am, why I started this podcast, and the heart behind the conversations we’ll be having here.

My name is Stephanie Harford, and in my everyday life I’m a wife, mother, sister, and friend. I’m also a creative fashion designer, storyteller, photographer, singer-songwriter, and entrepreneur. Creativity has always been a big part of how I process life and express what’s on my heart.

But like most people, my story isn’t just about accomplishments or dreams.

I’m also a highly sensitive person, which means I tend to experience life deeply — the joy, the beauty, the inspiration… but also the fears, anxieties, and challenges that come with navigating life and chasing big dreams.

Over the years I’ve faced a lot of fears, self-doubt, setbacks, and moments where things didn’t go the way I hoped they would. I know what it feels like to question yourself, to worry about failing, and to keep showing up anyway.

And that’s really what this podcast is about.

This space is for honest conversations about life — the struggles, the lessons, the growth, and the moments that remind us why we keep going.

Each episode will feel like sitting down with a friend who’s willing to talk about the real stuff. The things we’re afraid to say out loud sometimes. The things we’re still figuring out.

I’ll be sharing stories and reflections from my life, from creativity and pursuing dreams to motherhood, relationships, fears, failures, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward.

From time to time, I’ll also bring on special guests who will share their own stories and encouragement, especially for women who might need a reminder that they’re not alone in what they’re walking through.

My hope is that this podcast feels like a voice memo from a friend — something you can listen to when you need encouragement, perspective, or just someone to keep you company.

Because even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming, there is still so much beauty, joy, and purpose to be found.

And sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply decide not to give up.

So if you’re listening today, just know this:

You’ve officially received your first voice memo from your bestie.

And I’m really glad you’re here.
