More about Stephanie Broersma:
Stephanie is not unfamiliar with crushing disappointment. She is passionate about helping and coaching women to pursue Christ while chasing wholeness and healing after her marriage betrayal. What started as local coffee dates, Reclaimed Ministry has grown to have a global impact with brides who have walked a similar journey. Stephanie comes alongside women to provide resources and encouragement as they walk their infidelity journey. Her approachable and transparent style makes her a safe person to confide in.

Stephanie enjoys coaching and has led hundreds of Reclaimed Groups for over a decade. She is the author of Reclaimed: Finding Your Identity After Marital Betrayal, and a 12-week Biblically-centered curriculum helping women work through their infidelity. When she's not writing content or meeting brides, Stephanie delights in being a wife, mother, auntie, and friend. Her therapy is gardening or taking a run through the PNW trails. Stephanie and her husband, Tim, of over 20 years, live in the Northwest pocket of Washington state with their four children.
