Meet
Davindia
I’m Davindia Steele: wife, mother, author, and storyteller. I’ve raised two amazing boys, one an adult out in the world and the other now launched into college (cue all the tears!), and have had the honor of being part of my stepdaughter’s life, witnessing the incredible woman she’s become. These relationships are my greatest and most authentic achievements. My journey as a mother has been about striving to be a better person, not for perfection’s sake, but for the betterment of the people who call me “Mom.” It hasn’t always been smooth sailing. I’ve had my share of bumps, bruises, and those moments of screaming my head off to get things back on track. Being a mother has been the most demanding, heartbreaking, spirit-breaking, joyful, silly, meaningful and purpose-filled work of my life.
When my mother passed away, it was only a few weeks later that my youngest graduated high school and left to tour with Drum Corps International. All that, paired with my husband and my oldest traveling for work most of the year, left me standing in a quiet house. The truth is, I cried every day... no exceptions, and I distracted myself with everything I could learn about my youngest’s next big step… college. That deep dive led to writing Graduation & Beyond. It also led me back here.
Long before that, I spent roughly 23 years helping my husband Cameron build The Contact Talk Radio Network, one of the early platforms for spiritual talk radio, before podcasting was a thing. Nine of those years we co-hosted on air. We were creating room for conversations people were hungry for but hesitant to have out loud... and parenting is full of those conversations!
My background includes a four-year certificate in Theology from Education for Ministry (EfM), training as a soul coach and past-life regressionist, certification as an Online Business Manager, and ordination as a minister. These paths didn’t give me answers. They gave me frameworks for care-fully supporting those who are meant to be in my proximity or who are drawn to my frequency. I’m also the author of Banishing the Boogieman – A Parent’s Survival Guide: Helping Your Children Through Nighttime Fears, Graduation & Beyond – From Cap and Gown to What Comes Next, and The COLOR ME Collection. And I’m still writing children’s stories inspired by the adventures and characters I’ve conjured up with my kids.
We often know the questions, but we don’t always know where to turn for clues to the answer. Whether it’s toddlers, teens, launching young adults, or caring for aging parents, we find ourselves opening a box we didn’t realize contained so many other boxes. Like a nesting doll, just not as neat of a fit. lovem0m.com is growing into a home for those boxes, written by me and by a circle of contributing parents who’ve walked the same rocky terrain.
I don’t believe most people need someone to tell them what to do. What they need is information with room for their unique situation, without feeling exposed or overwhelmed. This space is a reminder to parents and those who care for kiddos that perfection isn’t the goal; love, passion, and resilience are. Sometimes you fill the gap, sometimes you build the bridge, and sometimes you jump and trust the ground will appear. Right now, mine is a tire swing that’s forcing me to jump to the next ridge.♥

Stella
Stella is our beloved Weimaraner/Black Lab mix who entered our lives during a challenging time for our family. We adopted her as a puppy when our oldest son was navigating significant mental health struggles, hoping she would be a comforting companion—and she was so much more. Stella’s presence brought a calming shift to our home dynamic, quickly earning her "diva" status as she charmed her way into everyone’s hearts. Over time, her love for being the center of attention inspired my affectionate nickname for her: the "whiny-rimer." As long as Stella is soaking up the spotlight, she’s a happy girl.
Mia
Mia is my sweet, silly, and utterly irreplaceable Pit Bull mix who came into my life when I was struck with a serious case of puppy fever. With my husband and oldest son often on the road and my youngest busy with music and performances, the house felt a little too quiet. One day, I stumbled upon a roadside litter of puppies (it’s Texas, after all), and Mia practically chose me—jumping out of the crate and into my arms. She has since become my constant companion and undeniable emotional support puppy. Cuddly, playful, and endlessly entertaining, Mia is always ready to make us laugh by chasing her tail in a hilarious show of determination and joy. She keeps me moving during long workdays and fills the house with love and laughter. If I could clone her, I absolutely would—she’s just that special.
