Stephanie Ernst Consulting
TAPS Nerd | Twinfluencer | Digital Raconteuse | Content Artisan
Hi, I’m Stephanie Ernst.
I love “spinning a yarn,” a true raconteuse – and love to tell stories about the stuff that happens to me. I’m a word nerd down to the core, and if you ask my sisters, they’ll tell you about my sesquipedalian tendencies. I’m a writer, and I’m also a speaker about twins and multiples, talking appropriate care and all the joys and heartache of parenting multiples.
My passion lies in advocating for twins and multiples and, of course, their parents. You see, there are a lot of myths and misconceptions about twins, and also, many people don’t see the heartache, the fear, and sometimes the tragedy behind a multiple birth. For me, it’s about being honest about the realities of having multiples and educating on what people need to know. It’s not all matching hair ribbons and sailor suits when it comes to multiple births.
My girls’ story of Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence has motivated me to do this. I created a foundation that takes their story and brings it to the world and advocates for updated screening protocols. We also have challenges associated with TAPS and its long-term effects, and I speak openly and honestly about what we have been through.
But enough about me – I’d love to know about you. Tell me your story.
“Her contribution in sharing her personal experience as well as her knowledge related to TAPS has been highly appreciated by parents and healthcare professionals…”

The Inbuggering Diaries
Many years ago, I started a blog to document my life in the Netherlands and the transition from being an expat, to parenting, to humorous observations about my life as a “Clogaroo”
While the blog isn’t updated as much anymore, it still represents a part of my life that I loved and also partially fuelled my passion for what I do. You can read it, and a lot of my funny stories here.
