We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephanie Nichols-Rodas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I think that the most important factors have been hard work, determination,but most importantly the love and support from my family and the community.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
For me, achieving a work-life balance is an ongoing, dynamic journey that constantly adjusts to my changing goals and circumstances. As I commit myself to physical rehabilitation, I invest my heart and effort into every step of this process.

My dedication doesn’t stop with my personal journey; I’m a passionate volunteer for an incredible foundation. Now, as a Board member of Rally 4 Reilly and friends, our collective efforts aim to raise awareness about spinal cord injuries, working tirelessly to create a significant impact. Spinal cord injuries can affect anyone, making it vital for us all to be aware and involved.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I like to take friends and family to the places I go to therapy, it’s really a world that not everyone knows about and it definitely changes perspective in awareness of the different battles people experience on a daily basis. I will then take them to the beach, or go have sushi for lunch.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband is the most amazing man I’ve ever met. His unwavering strength and support have been vital for me to persevere. He’s not just an incredible husband; he turns the impossible into possible. And is a wonderful dad, always there for our daughter.

My mother, someone I deeply admire for her strength and love. She’s been my rock since day one, despite our differing perspectives. And then there’s my daughter, the reason I wake up every morning striving to do my best. She inspires me daily, and I couldn’t be prouder of her.
