Sharing time and space with individuals and families during their most difficult days has given Stephanie a sincere and unique perspective of life. This perspective is evident in her rare ability to aid individuals as they navigate the complexities of living life, while simultaneously providing support to others during their final days. Stephanie shares her passion for life and the pursuit of purpose at every available opportunity.

Stephanie Broadnax Broussard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Social Worker (ACHP-SW), and a Certified Advanced Care Planning Facilitator and Trainer. A proud Louisiana native, she is a graduate of Louisiana Tech University and continued to the University of Texas at Arlington, where she received her Master’s degree. Stephanie is the Director of Palliative Care and Social Work in a Community Oncology practice and a therapist in a Private Practice.

While others avoid uncomfortable moments, Stephanie enjoys educating the community and other clinicians on the importance of communication and having difficult conversations, while equipping them with the necessary skills. Recognizing the impact and the weight of life’s transitions and being saddened by seeing others miss the opportunities of beauty and hope even within those most challenging times inspired Stephanie to speak and share intentional, powerful messages about purposeful living. 

As a motivational speaker and educator, Stephanie engages and challenges her audiences with her witty yet straightforward approach. The versatility in her messages has afforded her opportunities to grace national and local platforms.

 Although proud of her professional accolades, Stephanie holds being the Wife to Cory and the mother of her two boys, Cory and Corben, as her most significant honor. A self-declared “foodie,” Stephanie believes she has a chef’s palette but is keenly aware that has not translated into an ability to make great food.
