Walking confidently across the stage at Miss Indiana USA as a 33-year-old mother of three feels nothing short of incredible. ✨️
To think that my body carried three beautiful children, birthed them (with the exception of one c-section 😅), and then worked tirelessly to get my physique to a point where I felt comfortable strutting my stuff in a two-piece bathing suit—it’s an accomplishment that fills me with immense pride.
This journey wasn't easy, but it was so worth it. A HUGE shoutout to Craig Hughes at Body by Craig. Craig, your guidance and support went beyond physical training. You helped me strengthen my mind as well, and for that, I am forever grateful.
To all the moms out there juggling family, work, and personal goals, remember that "YOU ARE WORTH IT". Anything is possible with dedication and the right support. ❤️

Hi, everyone! My name is Stephanie Sullivan, and I am both honored and thrilled to stand before you as the newly crowned Miss Indiana USA 2024. 👑🇺🇸✨️❤️🥹
This title carries historical significance as I am the FIRST married mother to win Miss Indiana USA, and the oldest woman to ever hold this title.
These milestones are a testament to the evolving inclusivity of this organization, and I am proud to represent such a progressive change. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me on this incredible journey. Your encouragement, love, and belief in me have been invaluable, and I am deeply grateful for each and every one of you.
I am excited to spend this year sharing my story and inspiring others through my message, "Why You're Worth It." I look forward to pouring into the lives of women and young girls, helping them realize their own worth, and inspiring them to invest in themselves.
Thank you all in advance for your prayers and well wishes as I prepare for the journey to Miss USA. Together, we will continue to break barriers and inspire change.
With gratitude, Steph ❤️

For me, it looks like embracing who I am at every stage of life. As a 33-year-old married mother of three, I find it remarkable that I am preparing to walk the Miss USA stage in a two-piece bathing suit.
It's not just about the physical challenge but about the journey and self-acceptance. It's about celebrating my body, which has brought three beautiful children into this world, and showing myself and others that confidence transcends age and life experiences.
Confidence is about stepping out of my comfort zone, owning my story, and proudly presenting myself to
the world. ✨️
