My name is Stephanie Taylor Christensen and I’m a freelance writer and work at home mom covering the personal finance, small business, career and wellness beats. I founded Wellness On Less in December of 2008 in response to a life crossroads. I had more than ten years of marketing experience under my belt and a Master’s degree in the field, yet I was completely unfulfilled in my profession. My salary was stellar, but once I realized what life with two working parents and a newborn in daycare entails, it was evident that all the money in the world wouldn’t solve my needs. Contrary to what you might expect from a personal finance site, money was just about the only thing I wasn’t lacking. Yes, I’ve been poor, and in debt. I’ve also been quite well off financially. But at the peak of my salary grade, I was completely bankrupt in the sense of time, joy, and life fulfillment. It was at that time that I realized we all have a choice in our lives. What we choose to prioritize ultimately determines the outcome of our lives. That’s the ideology behind Wellness On Less.
As a freelance writer for media outlets like Mint.com, Real Simple, Intuit Small Business, Yahoo! Finance, Bankrate, ForbesWoman and SheKnows, to name just a few, I am always looking to build my connections and learn about new trends in personal finance, small business, career, health and wellness. If you’d like to hire me, have a general inquiry, story idea, or pitch, please contact me at wellnessonless@gmail.com.
