Founder & Editor-in-Chief of The House of Bee
I’m Stephanie Blue most people know me as Steph Blue or Steph Bee a mother, wife, content creator, brand strategist, and the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The House of Bee.
The House of Bee began years ago as a personal blog documenting my journey through womanhood and becoming a mother. What started as a place to share my own experiences has grown alongside me into something much bigger: an editorial space created for women who are building beautiful lives without losing themselves in the process.
Motherhood changed the way I looked at wellness, identity, family, travel, work, and what it truly means to care for yourself. It taught me that women can be deeply devoted to their families while still remaining curious, ambitious, creative, and intentional about the lives they are creating.
That belief is at the heart of The House of Bee.
Today, we explore motherhood, wellness, travel, family, and intentional living through thoughtful stories, personal essays, recommendations, interviews, and experiences worth sharing.
This space isn’t about presenting a perfectly curated version of womanhood. It’s about making room for the full picture: raising children, nurturing relationships, taking care of our bodies, pursuing meaningful work, seeing the world, evolving, and occasionally figuring things out as we go.
After more than five years of sharing my own story, I’m especially excited for The House of Bee to enter its next chapter as a growing editorial platform, welcoming other women and mothers as contributors and creating space for more voices, perspectives, and stories.
The House of Bee started from a very personal place.
When I first created this space, I was navigating my own journey into motherhood and becoming increasingly fascinated by womanhood, fertility, pregnancy, and everything our bodies are capable of. I wanted somewhere I could share what I was learning, what I was experiencing, and the conversations I felt women weren’t having enough of.
As my life evolved, so did the blog.
Motherhood opened the door to so many other parts of my identity, from wellness and family life to travel, creativity, relationships, and building a career while raising a family. I realized I no longer wanted to create a space centered only around my own journey. I wanted to create an editorial home where women could come to feel informed, inspired, understood, and represented.
That evolution became The House of Bee.
Today, it is a reflection of the many layers of modern womanhood and a place where meaningful stories around motherhood, wellness, travel, family, and intentional living can live together.
At its core, I created The House of Bee because I believe women deserve spaces that remind us we can continue becoming, even while pouring so much of ourselves into the people we love.
can write almost anywhere. At a kitchen table, in a hotel room, between meetings, or with a coffee beside me and ten tabs open.
But Jamaica is different.
There is something about the pace, the warmth, the music, the landscape, and the familiarity of it all that gives me space to think clearly. I feel more observant there, more reflective, and more creatively awake.
For me, writing is often about noticing the details that other people might move past too quickly, and Jamaica has a way of making me slow down enough to notice them.
It will always be one of my favorite places to think, write, and reconnect with the ideas I want to bring into The House of Bee.

Motherhood has been one of the greatest lessons in becoming.
Pregnancy taught me to see my body differently, not simply for how it looked, but for everything it was capable of creating, carrying, and becoming. It shifted the way I thought about femininity, wellness, and the seasons women move through.
And perhaps that is what The House of Bee represents most to me: the freedom to keep becoming.
To be a mother and still be a woman with ideas. To nurture a family and nurture yourself. To evolve without feeling the need to return to who you were before.
There is beauty in every version of us.
“A new baby is like the beginning of all things – wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities”.
Storytelling has shaped far more than the way I write. It has shaped the way I work, the way I create, and the way I understand media.
Professionally, my career has lived across branding, UGC, PR, social strategy, creator partnerships, creative direction, voiceover work, and local television. I have had the opportunity to work across several sides of the creative process, from developing strategy behind the scenes to communicating ideas directly in front of an audience.
That balance has become one of the most valuable parts of my work.
I understand the conversations that happen before a piece of content ever goes live. The positioning. The messaging. The brief. The audience. The reason a campaign needs to exist in the first place. I also understand what it means to be the creator, the voice, or the on-camera personality responsible for making that idea feel natural and engaging.
Over the years, my work has included developing social media strategies, overseeing UGC campaigns, collaborating with creators and influencers, supporting PR initiatives, building brand partnerships, contributing to celebrity collaborations, and helping shape creative concepts from their earliest stages.
My experience in local television added another dimension to that work. Being on camera taught me how to communicate clearly, think quickly, connect with an audience, and understand the rhythm of storytelling in a completely different format. It strengthened my confidence as a communicator and gave me an even deeper appreciation for the way stories can move between digital, editorial, and broadcast spaces.
Whether I am developing a campaign, appearing on television, recording a voiceover, directing content, or writing an editorial piece, I am always thinking about the story beneath the story: what we are really trying to say, who we are speaking to, and how we want them to feel.
That same thinking shapes The House of Bee. I see it as more than a collection of articles. It is an editorial world with its own voice, perspective, visual identity, and purpose, bringing together every part of my creative career as a strategist, writer, editor, creator, and storyteller.
No matter the format, the goal remains the same: to create stories with intention and leave something meaningful behind.
From hosting women-centered gatherings in Knoxville to leading a retreat in Bali in 2025, I have seen how powerful it can be when women are given space to slow down, connect, and pour back into themselves.
As The House of Bee grows, I hope to eventually create more retreat experiences centered on wellness, rest, motherhood, and meaningful connection.
For me, it is about creating beautiful spaces where women can step away from the noise and return to themselves.
