Alchemy House
by SRL Well-Being
A sanctuary for stories shaped by intuition, culture, and care
Alchemy House is the creative and editorial arm of SRL Well-Being—a home for stories, projects, and collaborations shaped by my Soft Alchemy ethos. It’s where my work as a writer, editor, and content creator meets the same intentions that guide my healing practice while existing separately as a professional creative practice rooted in journalism, editorial collaboration, and storytelling.
My creative work lives at the intersection of culture, wellness, intuition, and liberation. For more than 15 years, I’ve written, edited, and shaped stories across digital media—most recently as Deputy Director of Enterprise at Refinery29’s Unbothered, where I helped lead conversations on health, wellness, and spirituality from 2019-2023. My writing has appeared in ESSENCE, Refinery29, Bustle, POPSUGAR, VIBE, and more.
Through writing, editing, content creation, and my podcast Soft Alchemy with Stevie Reneé, I explore the stories that bring us back to ourselves—the ones rooted in truth, lineage, and collective awakening. Alongside my published work, I also write on Substack, offering letters and reflections exploring states of being, nervous system care, and the slow alchemy of being.
This page is a home for my editorial work, my creative collaborations, and the worlds I build through words.
Selected published works
My published work appears under the names Stephanie Long and Steph R. Long.
Across digital and print media, my reporting and essays explore the intersections of identity, healing, spirituality, Black culture, and collective liberation:
Soft Alchemy with Stevie Reneé podcast
A bi-weekly audio-visual altar for reflection, rest, and conversations on returning to yourself. Hosted by me, Soft Alchemy explores how we transform ourselves and the world through tenderness. Each episode is an offering blending storytelling, embodied practice, and Vedic wisdom to help us reclaim softness as power in a world that demands otherwise.
How I work with editors & creative teams
I partner with editors and creative teams on reported features, cultural commentary, wellness writing, and spiritual or ancestral storytelling—across digital media, print media, and book-length projects. My work blends journalistic rigor with literary sensibility and intuitive insight, shaping narratives that are nuanced, liberatory, and deeply human. I’m collaborative, deadline-conscious, and respectful of editorial process, while staying attuned to the emotional and cultural integrity of each story.
