From Disney Princesses to DJ Decks, Stefanie Bautista

Stefanie Bautista is an operations manager within the Los Angeles charter school system, co-host of The Happiest Pod on Earth, mom, Disney lover, and badass DJ. In this episode, we talk about wearing many hats without losing the parts of yourself that bring you joy. From the deeper lessons hidden within Disney princess stories to motherhood, creativity, and finding time for the things you love, Stef shares why taking the pressure off and making space—even in small increments—can lead to opportunities you never expected. It’s a conversation about women supporting women, following what lights you up, and remembering that you’re allowed to have passions that are simply for you.
