Steph Marie: The Butterfly Princess

Trigger warning: Child Abuse and Bullying

"Learning that my disability doesn't define me"

Steph Marie takes us on a journey of living with cerebral palsy, but more importantly living with the trauma that others have brought to her during her journey.

Cerebral palsy means that the part of the brain that sends signals is damaged. It affects walking, speech, spatial awareness and coordination. But Steph doesn't let that stop her.

Steph was horrendously bullied during her childhood and early adulthood and the trauma that brought has had a lifelong impact. However, Steph is determined not to stop her living her life, based on her values of caring for others whilst achieving her own dreams.

Get ready for a journey of hope with the Butterfly Princess herself, showing us that her disability does not define her!
