Success Stories



“I just finished my Visionary Program with Stacey, and I cannot believe how far I have come personally and professionally.”

Karen Spaiches“When I started working with Stacey, I was feeling very unsettled from a professional standpoint (for over the past two years!) and needed help finding some direction for my professional life. I would have never dreamed that I would quit my job, start my own business, become an author, transform to a happy, content, extremely grateful person (no longer seeking external gratification to fill my voids)! Stacey's belief in me, her trust in me, and her support have been THE instrumental keys to my turning point. I've already signed up for another 6 months to work with her because there's no way I want to stop now!”

“Before I started working with Stacey, I felt extremely challenged by time (or lack thereof!) to get the things done that I felt called to do.”

Lori Falkelg“I worked long hours in a health clinic and all areas of my life – physical, emotional, social, spiritual and professional – were compromised as a result. I struggled to protect my boundaries and speak my truth in a way that’s loving and kind.

I was so exhausted at the end of the day that I lacked the time, energy and focus to carve out time for passion and purpose-based pursuits – like going “all in” with my dream to work with the Peace Corps.

Well, 6 months later I’m happy to say that I’ve improved in all areas of my life and I got a position working with the Peace Corps in Ecuador!

I’m very much appreciating that I have had Stacey as a mentor over the past 6 months. She is a beautiful, helpful, guiding light that is wise and kind and shines brightly on everyone who crosses her path. I can’t thank her enough!”

“I had lost myself and Stacey helped me find my way back.”

Colleen Fleming“I decided to work with Stacey because I was needing some clarity and help defining what I really wanted and how I wanted to be in my life. I had sort of lost myself and Stacey helped me find my way back, get on track for my dreams, and remember that I really have all I need.

When I have been in the midst of a crisis Stacey has been there to help me find my way out and take care of myself in the best way possible.

Stacey is skilled at keeping you on task and focused. She is working WITH you and on things that YOU WANT for yourself. She is a great motivator and resource.

I appreciate so much all the energy and attention she gives me. The investment in myself was totally worth it.”

“Over the course of six months, Stacey helped me find my way to a happy work life. I made my home life better too. I no longer complain (which my husband is very happy about), and I have time and energy to live the life that I want.”

Michele Williams“I first met Stacey at a 'Time Management' seminar. I was overworked and stressed out, and I was looking for some way to find time for a personal life. It turned out that the seminar was more about 'energy management,' which was what I actually needed, and Stacey planted the seeds that would lead to a period of incredible growth for me.

I was so taken with Stacey's communication style and wealth of knowledge that I signed up for her Platinum Program. My fervent hope was that six months in the program would help me to figure out how to do my job well while also finding time for myself.

Stacey started out by asking me to review all aspects of my life and to identify my three most important goals. Being happy at work was one of them. Having time to enjoy my life with my husband was another. The final one was something I had struggled with since I moved away from Florida: getting back in shape.

In Florida I was very active with surfing and windsurfing. After moving to the mountains, I tried the gym (ugh) and walking on the roads in my area (again, ugh). For me exercise has to be fun, and I had not been able to find a fun physical outlet here, other than an occasional hike with my husband.

Stacey showed me that I just needed to do a little bit every day. She asked me to define the minimum I could commit to doing. I chose a 5-minute walk down the drive and back. We live in the woods, so this little jaunt is a pleasant experience.

With frequent prompting from Stacey to make sure I kept my promise to myself, that 5-minute walk transformed into a 45-minute hike, every day, rain, shine, or snow. I am now very fit ... I even lost a few pounds without trying ... and better than that, I have created a habit of devoting the first part of my day to myself.

Over the course of the six months, Stacey helped me think and feel my way through many issues at work. Our time together eventually led me to realize that there was a higher calling waiting for me. I am now working a few hours a week for the job I had when I met Stacey (I kept the tasks that I enjoy), and I spend the rest of my work hours doing something that I truly love: tutoring.

In finding my way to a happy work life, I made my home life better too. I no longer complain (which my husband is very happy about), and I have time and energy to live the life that I want.

I have Stacey to thank for all of these achievements. Her vision, her knowledge, her easy communication style, and her determination make her the perfect life coach. I am so grateful to count her as a mentor and friend.”

“I have more courage and I can see clearly
what I’m supposed to do.”

Mona Ball“Before I started working with Stacey I felt like I didn’t have a life worth living. I hated my job and was so afraid to just step out into uncertainty and change my circumstances and find the happiness I so yearned for.

I now have more courage than I ever thought possible: I quit my job and I’m building my own business! I can see clearly what I’m supposed to do with my life and I have no doubt that I will make my presence known to the world and make a big difference.

I am ready to roll up my sleeves and face any obstacles that may come my way. Life is glorious and I am finally ready to live it! With Stacey’s guidance and support, I know I can do this!”

“Working with Stacey gave me the strength I needed to change all the areas of my life that weren’t working.”

Sheryl Hawes“When I started working with Stacey, I was bored and frustrated. I now feel much calmer (I still have blowups at times but who doesn’t), and I know how to calm myself down and turn it around. What I really liked best about working with Stacey is that she really got me – no matter what I threw at her, I always felt understood and appreciated. And she always had great tools for me to use too. Her consistent check-in’s kept me accountable, which really helped me get traction on my big dreams and goals. I had never worked with a coach before, but I can definitely recommend Stacey – because she is so wise and can help anyone!”

“Stacey helped change my thinking and find more peace than I ever thought possible.”

Steve Kallan“Before I worked with Stacey I felt isolated professionally and, somewhat, personally. I had just turned 60 and I didn’t know what I was passionate about anymore. Stacey helped me get out of the rut of being uninspired and unhappy.

I had some major personal and professional challenges in the time we worked together, and Stacey helped change my thinking and find more peace than I ever thought possible. I’ve had a huge turnaround with my business. Overall I’m feeling more positive than I would have expected 6 months ago.”

“Working with Stacey has literally changed my life.”

Ashley Rupp“As a mother of 2, a full-time elementary school teacher and wife to a chef/owner of 2 busy restaurants, I felt overwhelmed, and lost in my everyday tasks. I knew what I was doing was so important, but didn't feel the joy in it. I wanted more happiness and peace for myself and my family. I also hoped to find greater purpose and inspiration in my job.

Working with Stacey has literally changed my life. I now wake up early in the morning – before my children! – to meditate, and I’ve never been a “morning person”! I am focusing on and celebrating all the positive, amazing people and things in my life. I am learning to refocus any negative self-talk and replace it with something equally true, but positive.

Stacey also helped me discover my greater needs and purpose at work. She helped me get really clear about what I want, believe that I deserve it and know that I can achieve it. I am thrilled with the clarity and traction that I've made on my goals.”

“When I found Stacey, it was like my deepest prayer was being answered because my soul was just starting to emerge from the depths of a long sleep.”

Luci McMonagle“I was unsure of what steps to take or where to go from there, but Stacey helped me give birth to greater consciousness and to develop my life purpose with a plan.

Her Visionary Program gave me the edge I needed to develop and launch my business. I now have unwavering faith in myself and my mission to help women empower themselves and manifest wealth!

Many thanks and blessings to Stacey for her invaluable help and insight.”

“I am living my dream.”

Laura Laughridge“Because of you, dear Stacey, and a small constellation of "star" supporters, many of whom have never met each other, I went from stuck and sad at my old job to fulfilling a long-held dream by creating Buttersong Baking Company. I’m happy to say I am now living my dream. Thanks to you again, dear Stacey, the joy is here!”

“The Platinum program helped me in
more ways than I could have imagined.”

Shelly Barrett“I signed on to work with Stacey with one problem in mind, but she helped in ways that were much more expansive than I had ever imagined. Instead of focusing on the bad things that were happening, she taught me how to put healthy boundaries in place, how to nourish my entire being and be fully present in any situation with a positive frame of mind. These self-care skills have been essential in dealing with any stressors in my life no matter how big or small.

After my six months with the Platinum program, I am in a healthier frame of mind and continue to increase self-care rituals daily. Stacey has given me the skills to be autonomous and to have the momentum to strive for my goals. The accountability I received in her program was essential: Stacey checked in with me often, I received support from the Inner Circle, and having the one-on one calls were so valuable!

“I learned to counteract negative thoughts, think positively, take small concrete steps toward a goal AND I manifested a great consulting job while working with Stacey!”

Denise Duke“Before I started working with Stacey, I was feeling a complete lack of purpose in life and especially with my work. I felt that I just had to put up with being unhappy and unsettled and I had no idea how to get unstuck. Stacey helped me immensely by helping me realize that I can counteract my negative thoughts. I learned that thinking positively and taking small concrete steps toward a goal can radically change my state of mind and outcomes – in fact, I manifested a great consulting job while working with her! With her guidance and support, I’ve set up daily habits and practices that support my best life.

Stacey is amazingly positive and caring, and she gives of her whole self when coaching. Her depth and breadth of knowledge is amazing and she keeps current on positive psychology. I had been searching for a coach but had no way to evaluate or choose whom to work with. Based on a great recommendation from a friend, I felt I could move forward in the coaching process with Stacey and I’m so glad I did. Stacey is one of the most supportive people one could ever meet.”

“It’s not selfish, but non-negotiable to put myself first.”

Desiree Adaway“I’ve had a habit of putting myself ‘last on my list’ of things to do. Working with Stacey taught me it’s not selfish but non-negotiable to put myself first on the list. While working with her I have gained a ton of tools for my self-care and a deep sense of ease in my life. I now know exactly what I need to nourish my body and soul, and this knowledge is priceless.”

“I have so much more confidence and trust in myself and the work I'm meant to do.”

Barb Brooks“When I started working with Stacey, I felt extremely frustrated with my "day" job. I often felt undervalued, rushed and exhausted. I now have more faith in myself and trust that I'm following the path God intended for me.

I know for certain now that my purpose comes from my heart for those feeling disempowered and stuck, and for those who feel that a part of them may be broken beyond repair.

I even taught a successful 12 Steps for Christian Living course – and developed a "Pray, but Move Your Feet" PAID program for those who choose to take the learning further!

I have so much more confidence and trust in myself and the work I'm meant to do. I'm so grateful that working with Stacey helped me come this far.”

“Your authenticity and transparency
is something I treasure about you.”

Gina Rafkind“Stacey, I just want to say THANK YOU for the great coaching call today. I love so much that you are just so REAL.

You say things just as they are and it is so refreshing because there are people I have worked with in the past and joined their programs and yes, I did get a lot out of them and yes, they do have a good heart, but there was always something that just didn't sit right with me and after a few calls with you, it hit me.

With a lot of people everything is so secretive and I don't feel that in you at all. Your authenticity and transparency is something I treasure about you.”

“Through Stacey I learned how to define my priorities and make a commitment to them, and that has made a difference in all aspects of my life – from work to family relationships.”

Laura Reeth“I started working with Stacey at a point where I felt like I was drifting through life and not accomplishing a whole lot in my day-to-day existence. Through Stacey I learned how to define my priorities and make a commitment to them, and that has made a difference in all aspects of my life – from work to family relationships.

I loved the care that Stacey took with me in our calls and through our emails. She always gave me 110% of her attention and I know she felt as invested in my successes as I did.

She always looked for the best way for me to break through to achieving my goals, and on the occasion that the success I expected wasn't quite there, she was always there to talk about what I did learn and how to change things up the next go round.

Thank you, Stacey! Anyone would benefit from working with you!”

“I feel much more able to remain positive
in the face of challenges…Stacey really does
help people change, and it happens quickly!”

Deborah Steinberg“When I started working with Stacey, I was feeling like I had somehow lost myself: I wasn’t being organized or focused, and I felt a lack of joy in my life. Now I feel much more able to remain positive in the face of challenges. I feel much more mellow and accepting of circumstances. Stacey really does help people change, and it happens quickly!”

“The personal coaching Stacey offers is nothing short of amazing. She encourages me and holds me accountable. She has helped me accomplish dreams that I had all but given up on.”

“I worked through a different online coaching program in the past, but the constant message was that I should be able to get my perfect job and make my dreams happen no matter what the economy or situation. All it ended up doing was making me feel bad.

Stacey’s program is different because she shares her struggles and what works for her in an atmosphere of growth. It makes me feel empowered.

My whole attitude towards life and living has changed drastically and I feel I’m just going up and up. I do still have an occasional bad day or feelings of overwhelm but by and large I am much happier and plan to stay that way.

The personal coaching Stacey offers is nothing short of amazing! Stacey is a miracle worker, and I thank her from the bottom of my heart and soul.”

“When I was seriously doubting myself…Stacey’s support was invaluable.”

Felicia Baucom“I decided to work with Stacey at a time when I felt pressured to go back to the corporate world, but it wasn’t what I really wanted to do. I wasn’t sure what I should do instead, and overall I was seriously doubting myself.

Working with Stacey helped me to see that I wasn't crazy for wanting something different, and that I have gifts and talents to offer the world in a different way than I have been doing them before, and best of all, I could make it happen.

Stacey always listened to what I had to say, struggles and achievements and all, and zeroed in on a problem to find a solution, or highlighted what was good about a positive situation. She was also validating and provided perspective to help me move forward. She always encouraged me to celebrate my accomplishments, no matter how small.

Stacey also called me on patterns that were holding me back and offered solutions for getting over them. Her support was invaluable in helping me get momentum on my vision and feel confident about getting it out there.”

“While working with Stacey I got crystal clear on my mission to help women end emotional eating and I developed my first Signature Program!”

Laura Kalister“Before I started working with Stacey I had a tendency to hold myself back with perfectionism.

I was working through a weight coaching program, but I worried a lack of confidence would keep me from creating a real business.

While working with Stacey I got crystal clear on my mission to help women end emotional eating and I developed my first Signature Program – The 5 P’s to Permanently End Emotional Eating – and enrolled my first clients!

I also learned to be more patient with myself and 'turn around' negative thoughts – so that I no longer get stuck in a loop of nonproductive energy.”

“When I started working with Stacey, I was going through a pretty tough & emotional divorce… thanks to Stacey’s encouragement to dream big, I'd say the world is now my oyster and I'm ready to dive right in!”

Karri Brantley“When I started working with Stacey, I was going through a pretty tough & emotional divorce. I felt lost, confused and overwhelmed about what my next steps should be.

Stacey encouraged me to dream big and…where do I go from there?! Well, I just made the decision to move to LA! Wha-hooooo!!!

So many incredible opportunities and connections directly related to what I want to do in my life just came to me. With everything that came to light, my dreams have been ignited, and I know I’ll accomplish them.

While I'm saying goodbye to one chapter in my life, I'm continuing to focus on the many endless opportunities for the next exciting chapter in my life! I’m always keeping in mind what Stacey always taught me, that “I know I’ll know!” RIGHT!?!?! LOVE IT.

Considering where I was a year ago and what I've focused on this past year, thanks to Stacey’s encouragement to dream big, I'd say the world is my oyster and I'm ready to dive right in!

“Stacey has given me wonderful ways to clarify what it is I'm trying to do, invaluable tools to help me reach the world, and authentic encouragement about my vision and offerings.”

Katie Vie“When I started working with Stacey, I didn't know how to show up professionally, or how to get my "message" to the world, OR how to make any money at it. The best part of working with her is the clarity you get overall.

Stacey has given me wonderful ways to clarify what it is I'm trying to do, invaluable tools to help me reach the world, and authentic encouragement about my vision and offerings.

Stacey listens deeply, and then offers thoughtful solutions (she also does a her "homework" by looking at ways to optimize my website, newsletter, or etsy site).

Going forward, I'm excited to achieve steady income via my creative projects with the fantastic tools & strategies Stacey's given me!”

“While working with Stacey I felt understood, comforted and encouraged! It was as if she stood behind me, gently & lovingly guided me by the shoulders and pointed me in a better, more positive direction.”

Paula High-Young“When I started working with Stacey I was feeling so completely overwhelmed that it was dragging me down physically & emotionally. Peri-menopause was kickin' my butt and a hypo-thyroid slowing me down. I was losing my hope & perspective. I felt like I was drowning in too much to get done. I was wondering how I would ever make any dreams happen!

But Stacey has a most amazing, calming presence about her, even through e-mail or over the phone! Wow! I swear she has Angels working with her! From my first encounters with her, I felt understood, comforted and encouraged! It was as if she stood behind me, gently & lovingly guided me by the shoulders and pointed me in a better, more positive direction… Reminding me all the while that I didn't have to tackle everything in one day or one week!

She reminded me that each little bite gets you there. Bottom line: I still have a lot to get done, but I've learned to "manage" the peri-menopause & hypo-thyroid stuff. I've learned to be a better planner and a better time manager. Thank you, Stacey, for a wonderful experience!”

“Becoming a part of Stacey’s Inner Circle gave me the support
and the advice I needed to see my dreams come true.”

Kelly Dahl“As a mom to two little ones, with very limited childcare help, at times it felt like I was trying to do the impossible. But I was not willing to give up on my dreams. Becoming a part of Stacey’s Inner Circle gave me the support and the advice I needed to see those dreams come true.

Stacey’s systems have helped me to make the most of every moment. And in our one-on-one time, Stacey has a wonderful way of balancing sincere optimism and belief in my goals with effective tips and techniques that I can use to further my progress towards meeting my goals. When working with Stacey her focus and authentic investment in me is incredibly clear. She really listens to my needs and then takes action.

I know that being a part of the Inner Circle has helped me focus my time, talents, and work so that I could launch Sparrow Magazine a few weeks ago. Additionally, it has helped my own business become a reality faster than I could have done it on my own.”

“I felt completely supported as I created a new way of being.”

Andy Crespo“I struggle with negative self talk, and working with Stacey helped me “break the ice” in areas where I had felt stuck for a long time. She was totally committed to helping me achieve the highest and best solution for me, and I felt completely supported as I created a new way of being. I would recommend her to everyone.”

“Being constantly encouraged and celebrated helped to override all the negative programming and in its place is growing a positive, confident, joyful me that loves life and sees many possibilities for my future, both personally and professionally.”

Connie Knudson“Stacey showed me how to develop a positive mindset so that I could explore areas in my life that needed improvement, such as improving my relationships at work, doing talks in the community on a regular basis, publishing my newsletter on a regular basis, developing positive relationships with my "super friends," creating balance by focusing on health instead of business when that was absolutely necessary, and reducing stress.

As a result, I feel more confident, and am working on writing a book. I have finished creating my IFO on healing asthma and it will soon be up on my second website. I have two paying clients, and a third may be on the way.

I loved the constant positive encouragement that I received by acknowledging and celebrating all my achievements, both large and small. Being constantly encouraged and celebrated helped to override all the negative programming that I had prior to this, and in its place is growing a positive, confident, joyful me that loves life and sees many possibilities for my future, both personally and professionally.

I loved the frequent emails for me to have my questions answered and to get feedback on what my next step would be or just to stay focused on the positive and continue moving forward. It has been a fun, surprising and enlightening journey.

Stacey is a genuinely kind and caring soul, personally and professionally. She will guide and support you with enthusiasm, integrity and joy. Her enthusiasm is authentic and contagious. You will work hard, but you will experience Stacey's support like the 'wind beneath your wings.'

If you're thinking about working with Stacey, and you're ready to move to the next level in your business and in your life, go for it! She is very intuitive and will inspire you to move to the next level with tools and mindset that make the journey alive and joyful.

“Whenever I experienced any doubt or block came up, Stacey responded in an encouraging and supportive way and helped me move forward with confidence.”

Bev Janishc“When I started working with Stacey, I had established a focus for my business and wanted to build on it and align it with my divine purpose. I knew I needed to change direction but didn’t know how to go about it.

I felt overwhelmed when thinking about the next steps and really didn’t know where to begin. Stacey helped me to clarify my ideal client and move forward in building programs, a website and processes to begin serving those clients. She also provided invaluable feedback in the creation of my programs.

Whenever I experienced any doubt or block came up, Stacey responded in an encouraging and supportive way and helped me move forward with confidence. I loved that she was caring, compassionate and always encouraging and supportive. Stacey is knowledgeable, loving, wise, passionate and compassionate! She is amazing role model!!”

“Stacey targeted exactly what I needed and helped
me create my own unique solution.”

Marianne Schroeder“My biggest requirement when hiring a professional coach is my ability to determine if they ‘walk their talk.’ Essentially, I want to know if their methods are proven in their own life; are they happy and fulfilled doing what they love? And, can they translate those methods into a ‘language’ I can relate to and reproduce in my life?

Stacey scores a resounding ‘Yes!’ to both these factors. She targeted exactly what I needed and helped me create my own unique solution. Her process is dynamic – exciting and healing at the same time.

Stacey is wonderfully infectious in her style; she is the consummate professional and a nurturing guide and mentor. If you’re ready to move forward with your life, she’s the one you want behind you!”

I was overwhelmed and Stacey gave me
what I needed to be a very proud mama.

Marsha Anderson“When I started Stacey’s coaching program I felt overwhelmed with the planning for my son’s Bar Mitzvah. Stacey helped me prioritize my “to do” list and ask for the support I needed. Her advice and encouragement were just what I needed to feel organized and get everything done. I was a very proud mama on my son’s special day. Thank you, Stacey, for helping me through this event and so much more!”

“I used to dwell on how ‘unfair’ things were…now I’m gaining
the tools and insights to be happier and more fulfilled.”

Marianne Reinert “I used to dwell on how ‘unfair’ things were. I thought the louder I complained the more attention I would get. Now, I realize I was avoiding reality, and that’s why I’m convinced that life coaching was meant to be a part of my life at this time. I am learning, as Stacey likes to say, ‘to find what is perfect about the moment,’ and even more importantly, I am gaining the tools and insights to be happier and more fulfilled. Stacey, you are a life changing force!”

“I now have more confidence and a feeling of service
to other women in their healing and growth. ”

Cynthia Hawkins “When I started working with Stacey, I felt extremely frustrated with a feeling of emptiness, lack of direction and uncertainty of purpose. I struggled with a lack of self-confidence (usually with fears that I wouldn’t follow through or that by going “all in” I would somehow not be there for my family).

Now the feeling of aimlessly wandering through life is GONE! I have a new, stronger faith in myself and my ability to follow through on my passion for photography and make a positive contribution to others.

I’ve also gained skills to handle any negative thoughts that crop up –  instead of being victim to overwhelming emotions related to unpleasant and or unforeseen stuff, I now see that I can respond powerfully, no matter what.

For all this, and much more, I can’t thank Stacey enough. She’s amazing!”

“I now have more confidence and a feeling of service
to other women in their healing and growth. ”

Kristen Sitchler “I was so unsatisfied at my old job, but after working with Stacey, I mapped out a trajectory to finding my fantastic and unique new job. I used our discussions and her lessons as a launching point for a plan to integrate myself into a greener world filled with kids and gardens. I started by signing up for a gardening course, after that, I met a world of fun people and offered myself as a volunteer/pro bono helper at every turn.

When I connected with the folks at the new organization I work for, I knew it was meant to be my next step. They are amazing, kind, funny, and all-around beautiful people. They surprised me with a job offer than combines my old professional skills with my new gardening skills in a completely unique and unexpected way, and it's a perfect next challenge for me. I'm thankful for the Stacey played in helping me launch this new adventure.”

“I know what I want to accomplish is as important as making sure everyone else's goals are met, and that's huge.”

Veronica Gaboury“I started working with Stacey because I wanted to focus on me and my personal goals. As a mother of 4 and a full-time teacher, I needed help to figure out how to make 'it' all happen.

Even though I haven't reached all of my goals (YET), I learned how to organize my time better, as well as push myself to continue to reach those goals.

After working with Stacey, I know what I want to accomplish is as important as making sure everyone else's goals are met, and that's huge. I got so much out of my experience working with Stacey!”

“I recommend working with Stacey to anyone who wants confirmation of being on the right track related to their purpose, and wanting help and personalized guidance to move forward and live it more fully.”

Patsy Scott“When I started working with Stacey, I was mostly interested in KNOWING that I was "living my purpose.” What was it? And was I on the right track? Stacey helped validate that that what I am doing IS MY PURPOSE and now I know it in my own mind.

What I liked most about working with Stacey is that ALWAYS, without fail, she responded with an immediate answer to my MANY questions and concerns. Her answers always made sense and moved me forward. Stacey uses metaphors that create great visualization and help drive the message home.

The most important thing people should know about working with Stacey is that she is authentic. She has the unique ability to put herself in your shoes, where you live and breathe, and gives great guidance from the most meaningful place to you...that is, your own situation (mine being diet & lifestyle). She gladly shares whatever tools and information she has from her own experiences. These are wonderful springboards to moving forward quickly.

I would recommend working with Stacey to anyone who was in my shoes...wanting confirmation of being on the right track related to their purpose, and wanting help and personalized guidance to move forward and live it more fully.”

“When I was really stuck, Stacey helped me realize that I had
the power and ability to choose happiness for myself.”

Clark Williams “Stacey helped me see my options more clearly, and understand that happiness can be a choice, rather than something that’s handed to you. When I was really stuck – and frustrated that I couldn’t change other people so that they would make me happy – Stacey helped me realize that I had the power and ability to choose happiness for myself.

Of course, choosing happiness is an ongoing challenge – it’s not a one-time decision, but a daily process. Yet Stacey’s advice – delivered with both kindness and clarity – helped show me that the process really is worth the effort. I can’t thank her enough.”

Wendy Huning “I’m enjoying the Create the Conditions for a Life You Love eSeminar and look forward to each new day! I’ve discovered that doing your exercises really helps me nail things down for myself, and seems to move whatever process I’m in forward.

“I had lost my MOJO – moving into my 50’s – and now I have it again, thanks to working with Stacey through her Visionary Program.”

Terry Bezner“I have recharged my self-esteem – gained confidence – become re-inspired to take risks – clarified my purpose, reignited my creative powerhouse – physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

I have also learned to trust my intuition – to listen/see/pay attention to all energetic messages along the way and know that they are there to help me. For all of this and far more than I could include here, I am so grateful.”

“Working with Stacey has allowed me to
change my attitude and change my life.”

Trish Beckman “Stacey is an amazing mentor in the powerful work of owning your own life and owning the power to make it the exact life you’ve always wanted. Working with Stacey has allowed me to shift my perspective, own my own role in situations I find uncomfortable, change my attitude and change my life. I’m now in a new relationship and a new job and I am happier and more fulfilled than I imagined possible just a few short months ago.”

“Stacey taught me to think thoughts
that give me relief in tough times.”

Patricia Alcivar “As a professional boxer and model, I feel I excel under pressure and usually rise to any occasion. But dealing with certain situations, either in the ring or in my personal relationships, could make me feel sick with anxiety. Stacey taught me to think thoughts that give me relief in tough times. No one had ever helped me in that way before. Her coaching really was a wonderful experience. Thanks so very much for everything, Stacey!”

“I don’t know a mother who couldn’t benefit from
The Multi-Passion Mama’s Productivity System.”

Ann McMahon “I was facing general overwhelm—in every area of my life! With 4 girls under 8 I felt I was drowning in washing and a never-ending to-do list. But then I found the Multi-Passion Mama Productivity System, and it was like it was written by my compassionate, understanding, clued-in best friend. I loved the way it was presented, broken down into easily do-able bites. I don’t know a mother who couldn’t benefit from it!”

workable… and I totally credit it for the fact
that I finally accomplished a big goal of mine!”

Emily Simmer “I’m really loving the Multi-Passion Mama program. Am easing into it piece by piece but it’s really workable. And I totally credit it with the fact that I finally have something posted on the Owning Pink website today! Thanks so much for the great work you do! I have been intending for a while to stumble upon a productivity system that works and am glad to have found yours.”

“Stacey’s tips, techniques, strategies, and guiding questions
helped me create the conditions for a truly happy 2010.”

Dawn Miller “When I signed up for Stacey’s System, I was hoping for a simple result: I wanted to get organized for the holidays early enough so that I could enjoy my birthday on December 24th. Her program helped me achieve that result, and so many other unexpected benefits as well.

It started with a stress-free Thanksgiving. Our house was filled with meaningful conversation, delicious food, and the laughter of three generations sharing after-dinner games.

But most surprising of all, the benefits have continued way beyond the holiday season. There are tips, techniques, strategies, and guiding questions that helped me create the conditions for a truly happy 2010.

Thanks Stacey for this amazing and comprehensive system!”

“Stacey and her Inner Circle made me feel confident
in myself and see my business become a reality.”

Sarah Petit-Mee“I knew I wanted to do something for myself; I needed some focus on how to carry my ideas forward and how to market myself and my business.

Stacey set me off in the right direction, on the path I couldn't see. I had so many ideas but was overwhelmed. She gave me the confidence to make them a reality.

Despite never having met Stacey before, I felt an instant connection. She made me feel more confident in myself and for once I could see my business becoming a reality.

I am glad I found Stacey when I needed her!”

“Stacey’s words seemed to reel me in and help me re-evaluate. Now I try to 'let go' of things more and just live in the moment.”

Stacey Layden“When I started working with Stacey, I was questioning so many things in my life and struggling with things I had done, and wondering if it was 'enough' or if I should or could have done more. I sometimes would get very scattered and doubtful of things.

Stacey’s words seemed to reel me in and help me re-evaluate. Now I try to 'let go' of things more and just live in the moment.

When I read Stacey’s notes, I feel my heart fill with love and comfort. I appreciate her sharing her stories and thoughts and taking time from her very busy life to share with me and be so encouraging.

Stacey makes me want to be – and helps me be – a better person. Yes, I know I am good and kind, but there is always room for improvement!

Some people just have amazing gifts…Stacey is one of them. I truly believe that saying 'everything happens for a reason.' Stacey happened for a reason, and for that I am thankful.”

“Thanks to what Stacey taught me in the Inner Circle,
I now have great organization and defined priorities.
I am now living the life I’ve been dreaming about.”

Nadine Tilburg“Before I started working with Stacey in the Inner Circle I would start things and never finish them. Thanks to what she taught me, I now have great organization and defined priorities.

I realize, too, that I was thinking small because I was unconsciously scared, and I wouldn’t allow myself to be the person I am. I have now started living the life I’ve been dreaming about.

Stacey supported my self-growth and helped me reach my dreams. And even though her program is not expensive, you are very personally involved.

As I came to know Stacey, I got the impression I could ask her anything anytime. What is great is that even though she’s very compassionate, she doesn’t try to “please” her client. She stays objective, and she always finds the right words, solutions – and even great books – related to the problems I face. Thank you!”

“Stacey helped me to love myself for who I am, where I am right now, and see that I'm already good enough to be loved unconditionally, and therefore so is everyone.”

Bobbie Salang Felder“While working with Stacey I was able to break through to the next level of experiencing love for myself, and everyone I'm meant to serve. I feel so much happier and free.

I had to let go of so much of what I thought "success" should look like, and I'm discovering that my current reality is so better than I could have ever imagined.

Stacey helped me to love myself for who I am, where I am right now, and see that I'm already good enough to be loved unconditionally, and therefore so is everyone.

I've always had a very strong creative energy, but now I'm much more willing to be vulnerable and let it flow. I've dedicated my gifts to be used by God, and I'm continually amazed by what He brings forth through me!”

“I was struggling with a lack of consistency
and Stacey helped me address that.”

Garrett Eastman“After completing 30 Days to Inner Peace, I'm starting the year off right, much calmer than thirty days ago. Connecting to a daily meditation practice (at least 10 minutes) and adding exercise (been walking every day) are huge for me.

I was struggling with a lack of consistency and you've helped me address that. I would certainly recommend your program — especially the way you share so openly about your challenges and your process. That's been a big help as I make a renewed effort each day to practice acceptance and gratitude.”

“I am reaping the benefits of more awareness thanks to
Stacey's 30 Days to Inner Peace program.”

Marisol Montilla“Stacey has taught me how to fill my well to overflowing! She really knows how to stretch you in mind, body and spirit. I have gained so much from coaching with her – in resources, clarity and determination – to do whatever it takes to be successful.

She taught me techniques that have literally melted away stress that I’ve carried for years. I now have so much more energy to do the things I love and want to achieve. I’m just looking forward to more!”

“Working with Stacey 'stretched' me in the best possible way!”

Darlene Das“When I started working with Stacey, I felt extremely challenged by time (or lack there of) to get the things done that were most important to me. I found it very difficult to focus on my business and create and implement the systems that would allow me to build it successfully – with ease and grace. Since working with Stacey I got crystal clear in my mission to OWN my role as a Health Care Industry Transformer, completed a book, The Quadruple Aim Solution, and created outlines for my Signature System and Program, based on the concepts I cover in the book. Working with Stacey 'stretched' me in the best possible way!”

“I hear Stacey's voice saying, ‘You have all the time you need,’ and I am able to relax and tackle the next item on my list!”

Shawna Cevraini“Stacey, thank you so much for 30 Days to Inner Peace! There’s lots of things going on for me right now, yet I am (mostly) calm and peaceful. These notes have helped.

I signed up because I knew that your words would help me focus. Feelings of overwhelm and panic still try to creep in, but then I hear your voice saying, ‘You have all the time you need,’ and I am able to relax and tackle the next item on my list!

I’m sitting here in the early morning, having started my early rise routine so that I can meditate and prepare for the day. Your program inspired me to make that effort again because it helps me so much.

I have kept all your emails so I can reference them when I need the support. I would (and have!) recommended this simple, helpful program to my friends.”

“The best thing I've done in a long, long time for myself!”

Kristi Gingrich“I had hoped that the Multi-Passion Mama Mastery Program would help me gain some focus on my goals and the future. I also hoped it would help me deal with some of the stress and overwhelm that I was feeling as a busy mom, wife, friend, sister, etc.

The program helped me in so many ways! I'm actually astounded. I feel more focused and confident. Less lost, stressed, and negative. I'm so powerful and I feel in control of my life in ways that I haven't for a long time.

My toolbox is overflowing with new tools and I'm excited to practice with them. I enjoyed the challenges presented on the weekly calls and really, really looked forward to listening to the recordings. The best thing I've done in a long, long time for myself!”

“The positivity and support I received from Stacey was a light that lifted my spirits and hopes.”

Tamara Sparacino“Before I worked with Stacey, I felt pretty overwhelmed by my own choices of over-commitment and over-doing. I was spending so much time being productive and working – that I wasn’t enjoying my life, playing, or spending time on deepening relationships. I felt like I had no time to myself and being an introvert meant that I wasn’t getting re-charged.

Stacey’s positivity and support were a real bright spot in my life. Having her just focus on supporting my well-being was a really lovely experience. I felt like I could be honest with her about the hard parts of my life and be open to feedback that would very often completely change my perspective – and the story I frequently tell myself about my life.

I really loved our phone calls because it felt like Stacey really thought about what I needed to hear. She came up with truths that I struggled to see on my own: things like compassion in my marriage, creating time for myself, focusing on my unique brilliance, encouraging tiny habits of change, and creating time and space for my writing and creativity.

Stacey’s perspective is so unique. She really is compassionate and loving – most people listen and agree with my story, but she questioned it and showed me different ways of looking at things – I had lots of 'aha' moments with her. She also challenged me on my own goals.

It’s so easy to 'self-forget' and not take care of what I need or to put my goals last – because I got so caught up in taking care of others or working that I simply forgot to create time for myself. She asked me in the beginning what I wanted and I felt like the entire time I worked with her she kept reminding me – in the loveliest and gentlest of ways – that this is what I want – so what am I waiting for?”

“I was stuck in a rut…Stacey showed me
how to make MY dreams come true.”

Laura Morello“Before the program, I was stuck in a rut. I knew I had this talent, but I didn't know how to harness control of my time. Stacey showed me how to take control of my day and get all the responsibilities and details accomplished and still have time to make MY dreams come true.

The Multi-Passion Mama Mastery Program helped me become more grounded in self love. It made me more confident. It helped me define who I am, who I am becoming, and who I want to be. It has helped me have gratitude for myself, for my life and for everyone and everything in it.”

“I gained the courage to dare to articulate a dream.”

Andrea Forgacs“Before I worked with Stacey, I had a feeling that I lacked passion in my life and that I couldn't be truly happy unless I found my purpose. I also felt unproductive and was looking for tools to "whip me into shape." After only 5 weeks of working with Stacey I gained the courage to dare to articulate a dream.

Stacey's coaching gives me just what I need: There are lots of practices to incorporate into daily life in the here and now, but also things to reflect on in the longer term. I especially appreciate the pragmatic tools – and the fact that we can choose the ones that work for us and adopt them at our own pace.”

I am now an assignment editor for a new television station in New Hampshire. And there are people like you, who though you may not realize it, have helped me in my journey.

There were times that I wasn't able to be an active client, however, you were kind enough to keep me in the loop with your newsletters and updates and because of that, I still felt my hand was being held and my well being still in your heart. You will forever be in mine. So thank you Stacey.”

“Stacey helped me realize certain things
I wasn't able to see on my own.”

Renata Palka-Mlynkowiak“Before I worked with Stacey I was mostly filled with doubts and fears. Now I listen to them less and less because she's given me a bunch of great tools to deal with them.

She's also given me tons of validation, an awesome boost in self-confidence and helped me realize certain things I wasn't able to see on my own.

I don't see my coaching practice as something impossible to achieve or far away in the future, but as something I can reach soon if I follow my heart. I've finally allowed myself to realize that I can do something I love and be successful!”

“Stacey helped me create a life plan.”

Debbie Stephens“Working with Stacey has opened me up to see so many more possibilities for my life. I have always been a planner, but that has meant mainly creating a to-do list.

“I am in the 'courage' process.”

Tracie Schroeder“I just want to thank you for sharing the Courage Building Boot Camp with me.

I like and appreciate how you shared some of your story. I especially like how when I replied to your emails, you answered right back. It has been fun learning about and getting to know you a little too.

I have enjoyed the journey and I am in the 'courage' process. I'm not where I want to be, but not where I started. I especially appreciated the idea that 'I am inherently brave.' and I taped it to my computer so that I can always be reminded of it.”

“I feel like I have a path when before it was all dark. It's up to me to keep moving my feet, but you kind of gave me a flashlight to light the way.”

Jen Korner“I have really enjoyed The Courage Building Boot Camp. You have given me a lot of good tools and skills to use moving forward.

I feel like I have a path when before it was all dark. You showed me a path. It's up to me to keep moving my feet, but you kind of gave me a flashlight to light the way. I had no idea even where to start before. I just knew there was a problem and I didn't know how to fix it.

I have been working on the 10 minutes of breathing everyday and I feel like that is helping me re-train my brain. This is probably the tool I use the most. When I'm feeling anxious or I'm starting down that road of negative thoughts I get my green tea and I sit for 10 minutes and try to find my balance again.

I appreciate all you have done for me, Stacey. And I have saved all your emails so I can read them over whenever I feel like I need to review my tools and when I need to remind myself how to keep moving in the right direction.

Thanks for everything!”

“Stacey taught me how to tap into my intuition and have faith that the 'signposts' would show up to lead me to my best life.”

Jessica Hardiman “When I started working with Stacey I knew I wanted to make big changes in my life, but I didn't know how. Stacey taught me how to tap into my intuition and have faith that the 'signposts' would show up to lead me to my best life. One year later I've made so many big changes and I'm so much happier. I'm so grateful for Stacey's big heart, warmth and our connection that transcends oceans and time zones :)”

“Because of Stacey, I trust myself more, am a big fan of the reticular activating system, and have learned to use happiness as the key barometer in my life.”

Sandy Suminski“I've had a habit of putting myself 'last on my list' of things to do. Working with Stacey taught me it's not selfish but non-negotiable to put myself first on the list. While working with her I have gained a ton of tools for my self-care and a deep sense of ease in my life. I now know exactly what I need to nourish my body and soul and this knowledge is priceless.

I had been receiving Stacey's newsletters for probably about six months before we were in contact. I liked her voice, her message, her gentle and illuminating teaching. I sensed that she would teach me so much, absolutely without dogmatism or judgment. Which is all I guess to say, I knew I could trust her.

Stacey's impact on my day-to-day life is pervasive and profound, in ways big and small. Because of her, I trust myself more, am a big fan of the reticular activating system, and have learned to use happiness as the key barometer in my life. I think the biggest of all though is that she was the one that got me meditating. For that alone, Stacey has my eternal gratitude.

She exposed me to a buffet of life tools, and helped me to build the confidence to fill my plate as I choose. I did not trust my own judgment as much before, and I had no idea how much I was beating myself up until I stopped. So much of the work of turning that around has been accomplished through Stacey.

I like that she offers concrete, action-oriented programs, and through them I absorbed bigger, more spiritual truths – the ones that have led to more self trust and joy-seeking, the ones I believe will guide me to more and more authentic creation in the world.

So thank you, Stacey. My two-plus years with her have been important and I will always be grateful for all that she has taught me and all that she has exposed me to. I would heartily recommend her to anyone seeking direction, knowledge and accountability.”

“Two big dreams I've had for so long are now real.”

Kimberley Austin“I am unbelievably grateful for all the tools Stacey has given me, the wisdom she has shared, her patience with my 'skepticism' and indecision, her motivation, her enthusiasm and her gentle prodding.

Since working with her I have, more days than not, been meditating, eating better, and using EFT to deal with stressful thoughts.

Those healthy habits are great, but the real success story is that I've finally written my children's book and committed to owning a restaurant – two big dreams I've had for so long are now real.

Thank you again, Stacey, for your vision, your support of my vision and for your unique perspectives.”
