One night changed everything for Miriam Smith Stevens. A masked intruder tightened his grip around her throat, and in that moment, she thought: “This is it. This is how I die.” But instead of giving in, she negotiated for her life—a decision that not only saved her but became the foundation for a global movement in resilience and transformation.

Today, as the founder of The Thankful Revolution Legacy Group LLC, Stevens helps others pivot from crisis to clarity through gratitude, mindset mastery, and personal branding. She recently joined Dr. Tami Patzer on Business Innovators to share how she transformed tragedy into triumph—and how others can do the same.
“I shouldn’t be here today. But in my darkest moment, I realized: Pain is inevitable. Suffering is a choice. That’s when I decided to pivot—because I knew there had to be something greater waiting for me,” said Stevens.
From Survivor to Changemaker: The CPR Plus N.O.W. Framework Stevens developed The CPR Plus N.O.W. Framework, a powerful roadmap for overcoming adversity and reclaiming purpose:
• Crisis – The inevitable disruptions that shake us to our core. • Pivot – The decision to shift and find a new direction. • Rebirth – Emerging from adversity with a renewed sense of purpose. • Plus – The faith, values, or personal foundation that provides strength. • New Beginnings – The transformation that follows resilience.
“We all face crises, but what happens next is up to us,” said Stevens. “It’s not about avoiding hardship—it’s about pivoting through it.”
Five R’s to Thrive: The Blueprint for Personal Reinvention
In addition to CPR Plus N.O.W., Stevens introduced Five R’s to Thrive, a step-by-step system to reclaim personal power:
• Reclaim Your Voice – Speak your truth and embrace authenticity. • Resuscitate Your Passion and Purpose – Rediscover what fuels you. • Rebound from Trauma – Build resilience and move forward. • Renew Your Mindset – Shift from limitations to possibilities. • Rewrite Your Story – Take control of your narrative and future.
“The mind is a battlefield, and what we focus on determines our reality,” Stevens said.
“By choosing gratitude and embracing our journey, we can transform even the darkest moments into opportunities for growth.”
Helping Others Find Their Life Song
Beyond coaching, Stevens is known as The Brand Paramedic, specializing in personal branding, messaging, and mindset breakthroughs. One of her unique offerings is helping clients discover their life song—a personal anthem that fuels motivation.
“Music was my therapy,” Stevens shares. “When I was struggling, two songs kept me going: Just Fine by Mary J. Blige and I Speak Life by Donald Lawrence. Now, I create custom life songs for my clients to inspire them on their journey.”
Dream Discovery Dialog Discussion Sessions: Uncovering Hidden Potential
Stevens also offers Dream Discovery Dialog Discussion Sessions, personalized coaching designed to help individuals rediscover their dreams and create actionable strategies for success.
“Many people have dreams they abandoned years ago,” she said.
“These sessions are about pulling those dreams back into focus and turning them into reality.”
One of her standout clients and colleagues in the mindset transformation movement, Constance Wills, a former probation officer, felt lost after retirement. Through Stevens’ guidance, Wills launched Beauty Beyond the Wall, a movement focused on mindset transformation.
“Miriam isn’t just another motivational speaker—she’s proof that transformation is possible,” said Patzer.
“Her journey from survivor to global leader is nothing short of extraordinary. She’s not just inspiring people; she’s changing lives, one pivot at a time.” said client Constance, “I have experienced firsthand the immense value of the services offered as I listen, almost daily to the life song Ms. Miriam Smith Stevens created for me. Using her unique, innovative, and inspiring coaching style, your story of transformation will come to life, while the music created specifically for you serves as an empowering anthem, reminding you of your potential and reinforcing your vision.”
