Mompreneur Spotlight – Stephanie Faught

July 21, 2017 by Christina Leave a Comment

Mompreneur Spotlight

Being a mompreneur is hard work. It takes a lot to balance your family, the house, a business and possibly even an outside job as well. I understand the struggle and have decided to do this Mompreneur Spotlight at least once a month to showcase mompreneurs who are rocking it. For this first spotlight I have chose my good friend Stephanie Faught. She and I worked together with Beachbody Coaching and became friends fast. When I chose to end my coaching time we still kept in touch and she became a part of Younique. I have watched her work her tail off to achieve amazing things thus far and I know she is destined to make it all the way to the top. Her work ethic, spunkiness and genuineness is something that you don’t find often but it comes 100% naturally for her. So let’s get on with her spotlight!

Mompreneur Spotlight - Stephanie Faught with Younique

Younique Presenter Stephanie Faught

Tell us a bit about yourself.

My name is Stephanie. I am 26 years old. I’m an aircraft maintainer in the US Air Force and a Younique Presenter. I’ve got two boys. One is 4 and the other is almost 2. They’re my whole World!! I compete in NPC Bikini Division fitness competitions. I love fitness… but I also love pizza. The struggle is always real. Lol! I am engaged to marry the man of my dreams in October! I’m not the greatest with makeup but this business has taught me a lot and given me so much confidence in myself it’s unreal.

What inspired you to become a mompreneur?

My kids honestly. I deployed before my oldest was 9 months old and I missed his first birthday. I don’t want to miss anymore birthdays or holidays. I want to be present all the time. I want to be the crazy mom in the stands at every single sporting event. I need to be there for them more than I am. I love the military and I love our country, but I just want to be home.

How long have you been pursuing this dream?

Since March. Ha! I’m still new to this but I’ve managed to replace half of my military income already so I’m well on my way.

If your company has a ranking system, what level are you currently at?

I am currently Blue Status but I’m working hard to get to Elite Green Status. I am about half way up the ranks.

Mompreneur Spotlight - Stephanie with Younique

What has been your biggest struggle being a mompreneur?

My biggest struggle is balancing my full-time job, kiddos, fiancé, training for competitions, school, and Younique. It’s overwhelming at times but I know it will all pay off soon.

What has been your biggest achievement so far?

My biggest achievement is just feeling confident again. After I had my youngest son I had post-partum hair loss pretty bad so I chopped my hair off. The cut was awful and I felt terrible about myself for a long time. I now have confidence and am so excited to share it with others.

How do you balance being a mom and being a mompreneur?

I just know when to prioritize. It’s tough at times, but it’s doable. I hate hearing the excuse that people don’t have time because if your reason for doing something is strong enough, you’ll make time. I make time because I want to stay home with my kids. Whether it’s waking up early or going to be late, it all gets done. It’s worth it to me.

You work a full-time job as well. How does that interfere with your business?

 The main hindrance is just that I can’t devote as much time to it during the day as I can at night. I know it make me more relatable to the working mom, but it stinks sometime being absent to my client during the day time some days. I always like to respond to messages immediately and sometimes it hinders that.

Do you feel that the hard work it takes to be a mompreneur is worth it?

Absolutely. Whether you’re in it for the extra diaper money or to have cash to spoil yourself and do something for YOU finally… it’s well worth it. The amount of love and support that our team shows is mind boggling. It’s worth it. I promise.

Mompreneur Spotlight - Stephanie Faught with YouniqueWhat advice do you have for new mompreneurs?

JUST KEEP GOING! Stay consistent because in a year, you won’t regret it. It takes time to build a network and to earn the trust of people, but it’s worth it to stick it out.

“Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”- Earl Nightingale

If you could go back and tell yourself one thing before you started this journey, what would that be?

Start SOONER!! =D lol

Happy Friday!! I hope everyone has had a good week. I have been busy at work with a lot of Father’s Day orders. I can’t really share them since they are gifts and I don’t want to ruin the surprise so instead, here’s a picture of another order I have on the turners this morning. What is everyone’s plans for the weekend? I’m sure you can guess mine! 🤣 #custommade #glittertumblers #milspouse #veteranowned #shopsmallbusiness
I’ve been a busy mama. I really enjoy this outlet of creativity. Check out my page @heartandstripeshandmade and give it a like. I’m just starting but there are lots of new items coming soon. 😍
Sorry I’ve been so absent lately! It’s been a crazy time for the family and I. Over the weekend we FINALLY got the house settled to the point of feeling like a home. My husband also helped me get my desk and crafting area situated. On top of getting back into my blogging I have started making homemade items such as glitter tumblers, shirts, shadowboxes, hats, etc. I’m making these items and selling them while also keeping up with the house, kids, husband and taking 5 bachelors degree classes. Needless to say, it’s hectic but I’m managing. You can check out my other page, @heartandstripeshandmade for updates on things I’m making and I’ll have a new blog post up soon. Finding some balance now. 😍 Happy Thursday!
This week has been full of ups and downs. The downs have been pretty bad and triggered my PTSD. Luckily I have a great support system and was able to wake up happy and anxiety free today. Please know that if ANY of you need someone to talk to, I’m here. No judgement, no telling you why you shouldn’t feel that way (because I know you can’t control it sometimes)...just a listening ear and someone who cares that you are here on this earth! Happy Friday friends....look to the light today. 💕😘 xoxo . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse #harrypotterquote #itstruethough #suicideawareness #youaremeanttobehere #listeningear #nojudgement
Anyone want to come do my Survey of Accounting homework? No? I don’t blame you! 😂 I actually have a pretty good grasp on it so far but they have like 9 videos I have to watch first before completing my homework. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Each video is like 10 minutes. Needless to say, I’m having lots of fun this morning. 🤷🏻‍♀️ How’s your Friday starting out? . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Yesterday it’s snowing, today (ALL DAY) it’s pouring rain. Mother Nature must be PMSing this week 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
You are a strong, loving and independent woman. You can do anything you set your mind to! I recently read that no one will want your dream to happen for you more and than you want it! That means you better stop taking no as an answer and instead of giving up you find an alternate route. You got this! . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Y’all, excuse the language but it’s cold AF! It snowed again overnight and while it’s a pretty white blanket of snow everywhere...I’m freezing my behind off! Good thing I don’t have to do anything other than take the kiddos to school and pick them up! How’s your morning going? . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Here’s your reminder to go drink some water, it will do you good! Two weeks ago if you would have been in this carpool line with me then you would have seen a Mountain Dew or a second Monster Energy Drink sitting in my cupholder. Today it’s. 33.8 oz water bottle. I am pretty proud of myself for sticking with it, even on the days I am craving that Mountain Dew so bad! But I made a commitment to myself to stick with it and instead of constantly breaking promises to myself, I’m learning to stick with it. It gets easier with every day that passes. 🙋🏻🎉💕 . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Energy has always been a myth to me. It’s something I always wanted but instead I constantly was forcing myself to get up and do things. I have had a major shift with that since starting #thedubrowdiet and it’s amazing! Y’all, I’m being 100% honest with you, I never thought having energy was possible. This might be TMI but it’s the week before my cycle. Normally I am so drained I am constantly falling asleep on the couch and feel so horrible. While I’m still a bit tired, it’s not stopping me. I’m getting everything done that I need to and here hasn’t been a single issue with falling asleep on the couch. That’s huge for me! This plan has helped me reach my before kids weight, getting those last 6 stubborn pounds off, but more importantly I wake up with energy to get stuff done and my belly hasn’t been this flat in 10 years!! Thank you @heatherdubrow and @dr.dubrow for this amazing plan! This mama needed it and even my hubs is staying awake in the evenings during our TV time! It’s a win all the way around!!! 💕😍🙋🏻🎉🍷 . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
It’s Monday morning and the temps were pretty low this morning so I decided it was a good day to use my free Starbucks drink reward. Yep, I can still have coffee on my diet plan. It’s actually encouraged but I use 2% milk and no added sugars. Since it was free I of course got a Venti! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Happy Monday! 💕 . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
I apparently have a refurb addiction. These nightstands were posted on our local marketplace and I knew I wanted them the minute I laid eyes on them. They match the desks I redid for the girls so now they will each get a nightstand to match their desk. It may seem a little crazy that I just keep adding projects on top of everything else but this stuff is what I enjoy so it’s not work to me. How was your weekend? . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
I'm trying to make this my best year yet! What about you? . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Thank you Give Parents A Break for watching the kiddos for us so we could have a date night! We didn’t get one last month because of sick kids so this one was totally needed. The hubs and I hit up Outback and even managed to stay within our diet. I even got to drink a wine because I’m in phase 2! 😍 It was a great night!!! . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
When your kiddos love watching Ladybug and you find the second season on DVD at the Dollar Tree, you buy one for each kid. 😂 Seriously, a total mom score. I can’t pass that up for $1! . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Set your goals and don't stop until you achieve them! . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Yep, I washed and dried all the clothes but they sat like this for days! By the way, they got folded/hung and put away last night. I post this to show you that we all have that pile of laundry or dishes in the sink. It’s basically impossible to get everything done even with the loads of energy I have lately. Just do your best each day and leave the rest for another day. Hey, at least it’s clean laundry! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂. . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Just working on a new little project 😍 They are no where near done but definitely starting to see my vision come to life. 💕 . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
I have a lot of new adventures I am tackling this year and at times it seems a bit overwhelming but in the end I know it will totally be worth it. Do you have new adventures on your horizon this year? Tell me about them and if I can support you in any way. . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Tonight is was imperative that I did some self care. I could feel a bit of my anxiety creeping in. Don’t get me wrong, I have more energy and feel healthy but my anxiety isn’t based on my healthiness. Sometimes it just rears it’s head even when I’m feeling great. So a nice long, hot and relaxing bath helped me greatly. I hope that your Thursday was amazing! . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
