We’re looking forward to introducing you to Stephanie Terry. Check out our conversation below.
Good morning Stephanie , it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? Have any recent moments made you laugh or feel proud?
Doing it scared… And loving it! I took the stage this September at the Laura Doyle Coaches Symposium in Las Vegas. At first my grip was tighter than a rollercoaster bar, but once I let go, I actually had fun. Being a key speaker was equal parts thrilling and terrifying, but I chose to say yes, lean in, and stretch. The result? Connection, growth, and proof that the best things happen when I loosen my grip and level up.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Stephanie Terry, the spark behind Two Rivers Relationship Coaching, where women learn to trade exhaustion and resentment for confidence, connection, and joy. My mission is simple but radical: to help women rediscover the confidence and intimacy they thought they’d lost, and create marriages that feel vibrant, safe, and deeply fulfilling. Life’s too short to settle for ‘fine’ when extraordinary is possible.
What makes my work unique? I use the proven 6 Intimacy Skills™, but I deliver them with sass, humor, and a whole lot of heart. Unlike traditional therapy, I weave in my disasters and highlight reels; raising twins in the Colorado mountains, adventuring with my dreamboat husband, or learning (the hard way!) how to swap control-freak tendencies for feminine fun.
Right now I’m growing my Skilled Squad group coaching program, hosting workshops, and helping women all over discover that the best self-improvement project isn’t another checklist — it’s learning how to enjoy your life, your marriage, and yourself. Around here, we don’t just talk about skills… we celebrate them with confetti.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Control crushes intimacy. Every time I grab the reins, I’m basically saying, ‘I don’t trust you,’ and nothing makes a man shut down faster. Respect is what restores the bond. Respect is like oxygen to intimacy. When I drop the control and show respect, that’s when passion and connection spark back to life.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
My pain used to run the show. I was vibrating with resentment. I even kicked a hole in my daughter’s door once. But now, as a Laura Doyle Relationship Coach, I use that pain as power. I share my messy, comeback story so my clients know they’re not alone. Once I embraced the 6 Intimacy Skills™, everything shifted. Today, there’s a mellow tone in my home, my kids feel safe and close to me, and my husband can’t keep his hands off me. I finally get to enjoy the life I worked so hard to create. If I can do this, I know other women can too.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Where are smart people getting it totally wrong today?
Einstein said it best: “Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.” And yet, so many smart people get it wrong. They overthink life. They run every worst-case scenario and end up paralyzed by fear. The truth? The real power is in dreaming big. Stop asking, ‘What’s the worst that could happen?’ and start daring to ask, ‘What’s the best that could happen?’ That’s where possibility lives. Let’s all be possibilitarians!
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
Yes! I’m doing what I was born to do; even though lots of people told me NOT to. But here’s the truth: my transformation gave me the credibility, and my training gave me the tools to guide hundreds of women already. Helping women stop escaping their lives and start enjoying them is my passion. And I plan on staying right here, spreading love, light, and a whole lot of hope. Let’s go!
