Hi, I’m Stepfanie—welcome to BAD GIRL MEDIA.
(formerly WILD BARE THOUGHTS)
You can find a categorized glossary of posts HERE if you’re in a hurry ッ
This space is for people who think for themselves, who ask better questions, and who are trying to make sense of what it means to live awake in a world full of noise.
Here’s what you’ll find here:
THE DAILY 5 — my 90-day journaling framework for self-awareness. It’s a scaffolding for introspection, energy mapping, and personal bandwidth. A way to notice your own patterns without drowning in self-help overwhelm.
Part II begins January 1st, 2026!

Studio B — bite-sized visual essays on artists I love and can’t stop thinking about. Think of it like walking through a gallery with a friend—just noticing what’s beautiful, what lingers, what makes us feel more alive. Published a few times each month, whenever it calls to me.
For example: Edward Hopper, Henri Rousseau, Paul Gauguin, & others.
Essays on systems thinking, mental models, and the architecture of attention.
Notes on memory, awe, clarity, and the long-game of becoming someone you’re proud of.
Techno-optimism with a side of desert walks and giant dogs.
Some people come here for frameworks. Others for feelings. Some for the art, some for the rants. I am purposely un-niched and don’t follow a fixed content schedule—I only follow my curiosities.
A pretty cool achievement—
One of my essays, “flirting with the world,” was mentioned in THE NEW YORK TIMES
Oh by the way, I also love writing lyrics! I released an album earlier this year called speedrunning love, which is available wherever you stream music. It’s basically my diary from the last decade, in song-form. I hope you’ll give it a listen.
