Stephanie Bagato, LMFT

Stephanie Bagato, LMFT I help people create meaningful relationships with themselves and others.

04/27/2026

This is to a year of adding more whimsy, frolicking and shenanigans. There’s too much for any one person to carry emotionally all at once so we have to go back to basics, play and have fun. It’s free, it’s accessible, it’s healing.

Join me in adding wonder into our daily lives so we’re not all crippled by the alternative.

Any you’d add to the list?

What does wonder mean to you?

What’s the gift that wonder gives?

There’s something about wonder that I can’t quite articulate and I can’t quite describe well, but I feel it’s importance. I feel its value and invitation in my life. So I’d love to hear what other’s feel and think about it wonder!

Sometimes it’s not that anything is wrong, it’s just that life starts to feel a little flat.

We often reach for stimulation, hoping it will shift something. But what we’re actually craving is to feel alive… and no amount of scrolling or distracting can give us that.

Wonder, on the other hand, is the very thing we need and crave. It has a way of bringing us back into our lives, feeling more present, more connected, and more open to what’s already here.

I’ve been working on this a guide to help you rediscover your spark of wonder, and I’m really excited to finally share it with you.

Be With Wonder is a gentle guided way to feel more alive in your everyday life, and it’s available now for just $17.

If this is what you’ve been craving, you can get it now at:

I hope you return to your wonder ✨

This is your personal invitation from me to you to invite in more wonder.

To allow ourselves to slow down, be present, take in, and be moved by the magic that exists around us.

The next in my Be With series is Be With wonder guide and meditation out now (released today on Earth Day 🌎).

You can find it linked in bio!

I’m in awe of people every day.
And lately, I’ve been remembering to be in awe of the world, too.

When I slow down, life feels fuller again.
More spacious. More alive.

This is your invitation to notice what’s already here. ✨
Be With Wonder — out tomorrow!

Sometimes I stop and ask myself “when was the last time” and fill in the blank.

I use this as a marker to assess for myself about making room and slowing down for experiences and feelings.

Lately, I’ve been really curious about being in awe.

I am in awe of people all the time. That’s a no brainer, but sometimes I miss out on being in awe of the world around me.

I want to know what brings out the awe in you! What brings that alive for you?

04/17/2026

Questions have been a way for me to connect and learn about others and it’s fascinating and exciting. Asking a question on here is a way for me to give back and share what comes easily and naturally and something I genuinely love.

So what types of questions are ones you love? More depth? More options of what you can answer online here? Or ones you can take back to your group of friends and ask them? I’m open to what resonates and what doesn’t!

Is there nuance to this? Absolutely. Could there be disconnection on the other side as well? Yes, of course. But we already know that fear and experience. We rehearse it, we guard against it, we prepare for it.

But there is so much value in also preparing for it to go well, rehearsing goodness too.

See where you might be invited into more connection and take a step towards it, see for yourself what’s on the other side.

A future version of you exists and is being cultivated in the here and now whether we recognize that or not.

Let’s be empowered and intentional about the future us that has figured out what we are currently struggling with or confused by.

Recognizing you’re in a trigger is a very important step, but it’s just the doorway in to a wealth of learning about yourself and previous experiences that are being activated in present day. If we stop at “I’m just triggered” we miss what the trigger itself is offering us: the knowledge and invitation to see what’s connected and what’s still hurting and needs tending to.

Sometimes I’m able to access rational thought, sometimes I’m able to remember my practices that help ground me and support me while I’m triggered, and sometimes they’re such a doozy that I forget what to do or what I really think and believe and just anchoring to what I know to be true outside of the trigger can be so helpful.

What helps you when you’re triggered and not able to access your most adult, rational self?

Adult show and tell time!

I remember when I was in high school I quietly sent a poem I had written into an anthology and paid the fee to have it published. No one knew, I never disclosed it, I just quietly wanted to get a poem published. I can’t remember what poem it is now, or where that book even is, but the tendency to hide and ignore wins and share what I’m proud of can still show up. Even as an adult, even present day.

So here’s our opportunity to take back what we’re proud of and heal a little bit of our little us’s at a time.

These are conversations you can answer here or share amongst your people to learn more about them.

This is exactly why I share these questions.

Not just to think about on your own but to bring into your relationships.

A group of friends told me they asked one of the questions together, and it led to such a beautiful conversation.

That’s the point.

Connection. Curiosity. Feeling a little more known, and knowing others, too.

If you’ve ever used one of these questions with someone, I’d love to hear what came from it 🤍
