Who We Are
Rooted in Intention, Built for Modern Families
At The Guidepost Co., we believe every family has a unique story waiting to be told—and that story can become a source of guidance and strength when you take the time to identify what uniquely matters to you.
We're Ashley Steele and Beth Ann Valavanis - best friends since middle school, mothers, and entrepreneurs. We created The Guidepost Co. because we recognized a shared longing for clarity and connection within our own families and communities - a sentiment we've heard over and over from modern families. Our hope is to give every family an approachable way to pause, reflect, and define their own path—so you can move forward with intention, confidence, and unity.
From our family to yours, welcome. We’re here to help you cultivate a home life where shared values shine, guiding you toward stronger relationships, confident decisions, and a sense of unity that lasts—no matter how busy life gets.
Our Values

VALUE 01
Connection
We help families build authentic relationships, fostering open communication so every member feels seen and valued. In a tech-driven world, we create space for deeper connections— a foundation families can always return to.

Value 02
Clarity
We help families navigate information overload, uncover what truly matters, and build a clear foundation for growth—so when life gets noisy, they can move forward with clarity and intention.

VALUE 03
Curiosity
We believe curiosity and openness fuel growth. We help families ask questions, embrace change, and evolve together—creating a space for continuous discovery and deeper connection.

VALUE 04
Custom
Each Guidepost is a unique reflection of your family’s values—whether it’s shared meals or resilience. With a flexible process and custom products, we create a truly personalized experience for you.

VALUE 05
Confidence
We seek to help anxious families regain confidence in a world of overwhelming influence. By fostering stability and clarity, we empower families to make decisions with assurance and navigate life with purpose.

Why We Do It
In a world that constantly pulls us in different directions—labeling us, separating us, and distracting us—belonging can feel hard to find. At The Guidepost Co., we believe that belonging begins at home. When each person in a family feels seen, heard, and cherished for who they are, there’s no need to seek validation elsewhere. This vision is more than just another venture for us; it’s a passion project born from the desire to help every family discover a grounded sense of identity and unity. By creating a simple, guided way to articulate what truly matters, we hope to spark moments of genuine connection that carry through every season of life.
