About Teri:
Teri attributes her inner STELLARGIRL to the relentless pursuit of an extraordinary and adventurous life. Like many women, Teri’s values were formed from life lessons — some hard-won, some immensely rewarding — but all contributing to her own STELLARGIRL journey.
Teri grew up with a spirited, global perspective thanks to parents who taught her that beyond their home in a small prairie city in Saskatchewan, Canada, a world of possibilities and wonder awaited. She went on to earn a BA majoring in languages. She has lived in nine cities across North America, re-inventing herself each time to align with her belief that doing what you love with people who uplift you personifies a stellar life.
Teri’s world travels have taken her to over three dozen countries throughout Asia, South East Asia, the Middle East, North America, South America, Africa and Europe and they all have taught her that women living in different cultures and countries have much more in common than not. In her career, that belief motivated her to support women from all walks of life as they reach for their own “gold.” She’s held positions as a fashion editor, a television style host, a wardrobe stylist, a fitness and commercial print model, a personal trainer, and bolstered superstars during her tenure in talent management.
Today, Teri lives and works from Wisconsin with her love and their four children. She is an entrepreneur, model, charity advocate and, as co-founder of Stellargirl, a champion of women who strive to live their individual “stellar-ness” through truth, strength, laughter and compassion.

Erica’s Bio:
I’m Erica, the creator behind Coming Up Roses. And I’m really friggin’ stoked you’re here. I’m a Philadelphia-based blogger and podcaster, wife to Jamie, mama to Olivia, wine-and-cheese enthusiast and soon-to-be-published book author. I also help fellow bloggers monetize their influence through pitching and politely persisting the ultimate brand partnerships through my online course, BossPitch!
In other news, I’m fueled by strong coffee, loud laughter, a bold lip, and great accessories. I use dry shampoo only slightly less than oxygen, I’m one cat short of crazy cat lady status, and I’ve yet to meet a latte or pizza I didn’t like. I live right outside Philly with my awesome husband, baby, and our rescue cats: Moose, Pumpkin, + Purrcy.
