Stefanie Phariss

Stefanie is an actress, marketer, sales consultant, and a storyteller. She has been married to Casey Phariss for 19 years and together they have three boys.

For the last 7 years, Stefanie has worked tirelessly to uncover tools and strategies to help her tricky kids. She loves to spend time with her kids, but has also spent many an hour on the floor sobbing over what to do next to help them.

Where the F is My Village was born out of a desire to help other parents feel less alone, to build a community, and hopefully help and inspire parents of tricky kids.

Shelley Cadamy is the foster/adoptive parent of three beautiful humans and the guardian of her fabulous skeleton- and unicorn-loving granddaughter. She has married her husband twice, because he’s that nice.

For 14 years she has been reminded daily that the world does not fit her kids, talking and writing about that to anyone who will listen, and hopes that Where the F Is My Village will build awareness with “regular” people and hopefully change the world a bit before she dies.
