Dr. Valerie Steele
DR. VALERIE STEELE, PHARMD — FOUNDER OF WHY NOT NOW COACHING & EVENTS, LLC
Dr. Valerie Steele spent more than 20 years as a clinical pharmacist, educator, and mentor, training physicians and residents in evidence-based care. Her work centered on helping people heal, lead healthier lives, and manage complex emotional and medical challenges. But motherhood reshaped everything. After years of infertility and pregnancy loss, becoming a mother was life-changing — and it revealed a new kind of mental load she couldn’t solve with clinical expertise alone.
Determined to parent differently than she was raised, Valerie immersed herself in emotional resilience, psychology, and mindset science. What began as a personal search for calm and confidence became a professional calling.
Today, as a mindset and intentional-living coach, she helps ambitious mothers shift from reactivity to intention so they can lead their families and careers with clarity and confidence. A TEDx panelist and Best of the Bay finalist, she is recognized among the 50 Women to KNOW in Tampa and serves clients nation-wide.
