Miriam Smith Stevens, Founder of The Thankful Revolution Legacy Group, LLC

  • Why I Exist: My Impact Statement

    After surviving a harrowing life-and-death experience, I recognized that my life was destined for something greater. Following my escape from an attacker, I committed myself to being a source of hope and healing for others facing their own battles. As long as I draw breath, I will serve those in need.

  • Miriam’s Why: Empowering Unique Purposes

    Through The Thankful Revolution, I—Miriam, also known as Essence of Myrrh—exist to help individuals discover and actualize their unique purposes. Guided by Proverbs 3:5-7 and 3:8, my mission is to assist you in making an impact that resonates deeply and endures throughout your life and beyond.

  • My Purpose: Empowering New Beginnings

    My journey has woven together moments of pain and triumph, leading me to embrace “Myrrhism”—a perspective that sees the bittersweet aspects of life as powerful catalysts for growth. I know firsthand the courage required to overcome life’s darkest moments, and I’m here to help you find that same strength and hope.

    I focus primarily on supporting women over 40, but I wholeheartedly welcome individuals of all genders, ages, and beliefs—whether you follow a particular faith or not—who have faced trauma and seek to reclaim their purpose. My C.P.R. + N.O.W. framework (Crisis, Pivot, Rebirth, and Next Level Living) embodies universal principles applicable to anyone ready to embark on a journey of renewal and resilience.

You can expect a compassionate, judgment-free space where we collaborate to uncover the barriers holding you back and develop actionable steps to help you move forward. My approach is centered on listening, empowering, and guiding you as you reclaim your voice, renew your mindset, and take charge of your life.

Faith is an essential part of my coaching approach. I draw inspiration from Biblical principles and the promises of God to offer hope, encouragement, and guidance. Together, we’ll explore how aligning with God’s truths can help you overcome challenges and live a more abundant life. However, I also respect where you are in your journey and will tailor the experience to your comfort level.

4. What is the C.P.R. + N.O.W. framework, and how will it help me?

The C.P.R. + N.O.W. framework stands for Crisis, Pivot, Rebirth, and Next-Level Living.

6. How Did the C.P.R. + N.O.W. Change Framework Happen?

The C.P.R. + N.O.W. Change Framework was born out of my own personal journey through trauma, pain, and the process of rebuilding my life after significant challenges. It wasn’t something I discovered overnight; it emerged as I navigated the stages of recovery and sought a way to make sense of my experiences.

C.P.R. + N.O.W. represents:

Crisis: Acknowledging the storms and recognizing the challenges.

Pivot: Making the critical decisions to change direction and mindset.

Rebirth: Embracing healing and rediscovering your purpose.

Next-Level Living: Moving forward into a life that’s not just better but abundant and fulfilling.

This framework isn’t theoretical—it’s real, tried, and tested through my own life experiences. I’ve walked the journey from brokenness to breakthrough, and I understand the steps it takes to get there.

In our sessions, I offer:

Personal Accounts: Sharing moments from my own life to provide insights and relatability.

Empathy: Meeting you where you are with compassion and understanding.

Principles: Practical tools and spiritual truths to help you navigate your unique path.

You’re not alone in your difficulties. The C.P.R. + N.O.W. Change Framework is here to guide you through the aftermath of your challenges and help you step into a season of renewal and hope. If I could do it, I know you can too—and I’m here to help.
