September always wakes something up in me.

It’s not “new year” energy exactly—but it’s clearer.
Like: OK. Let’s tune back in. Let’s move differently. Let’s make it count.

So I thought I’d give you a little peek behind the curtain…

Here’s what I’m working on this month inside The Nest—and why it matters:


🎯 My experience design certification exam is coming up soon, and I’ve been deep in study mode each morning. But I’m not just learning this for me.

Throughout September, I’ll be dropping bite-sized insights inside The Nest to help members create more joyful, engaging products and experiences—without burnout.


📓 I’m also shaping a few brand-new Field Notes inspired products designed to help multipassionate creators (like you and me) make the best of their strengths and open space for creative momentum… even on days when the house is loud and the coffee is cold.


🧠 And finally?

I’ve been testing a new tool that surprised me—Desiree’s PuzzleCrafter GPT.

It helps you create unique themed word searches, crosswords, and other brain teasers in minutes. No creator block headaches. No blank screen panic. Not even a sleepless night to get enough relevant activities!

But more than that?

👇

🧩 XP tip:
Word games are low-pressure brilliance boosters!

They fire up problem-solving, loosen mental knots, and pull you out of “I have to create something big” mode—into “I’m playing again.”

And when you’re stuck, scattered, or tired?
Play is where clarity sneaks in through the side door.


So I made you something with it:

👉 Grab your free Back-to-School Family Fun “Would You Rather” Game
Use it with your kids, your students, or just to giggle your way back into (sales) flow.

And if it sparks something?

You can check out the full PuzzleCrafter GPT right here.


Desiree's PuzzleCrafter GPT is a brilliant tool if you want to create printable products that are fun to build and easy to sell.

🧩 Use code PUZZLE17 through 9/30 to grab this GPT for only $17!

Thanks for being part of my journey,

Stéphanie

P.S. That “Would You Rather” game I made? It’s part fun, part brain refresh, and 100% yours to use however you like. Grab it here if you haven’t yet:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YInnZ1Qdfgf7V2K2P713mNZcn9zWmvHNWGon8Gf05IQ/edit?usp=sharing

Pssst... If your September rhythm still feels wobbly, here’s your reminder:

You don’t need to overhaul everything.
You don’t need to wait for the “perfect” week.
You just need to start rebuilding the path back to your spark.

And that? Can start today.

NOTE: I'm moving things around in the backend to make room for a new project. Can you help me spot "bad experiences" regarding my site, your members' area, communications, or whatever? I would really appreciate your help with this! It will make it so much easier for me to fix and improve everything that needs attention. Thank you!

Disclosure: From time to time, I will include links in the emails that would include promotions for my own products or affiliate products, meaning I get paid when you buy the product. However, I only ever mention products I love and would recommend whether I was being compensated or not. Always use due diligence when buying anything and remember, what works for me may not always work for you!

Thank you so much for your support of Stephie The Happy Mom!
