What happens when a part of yourself goes into hibernation?

For Stevie, it was the writer within her.

In this episode of House of Mirrors, Stevie opens up about her journey with writing, creativity, vulnerability, and self-expression—and what it meant to rediscover a part of herself she had allowed to retreat into the background.

Her story isn't simply about becoming a writer. It's about what happens when we quiet the parts of ourselves that once made us feel most alive. Through poetry, storytelling, travel, personal experiences, and reflection, Stevie explores how writing became a way to process life, navigate emotions, understand herself, and eventually find her voice again.

Raven Lyric and Phoenix Rayne talk with Stevie about visibility, vulnerability, healing, creativity, and the courage it takes to let yourself be seen—not just by others, but by yourself.

Sometimes we don't lose who we are.

Sometimes we simply put that part of ourselves into hibernation.

And sometimes, all it takes is picking up the pen to begin waking it back up.

This is Stevie's journey back to the writer she had hidden—and ultimately, back to herself.
