I am coach Stacy, a passionate women-centered coach, a cultivator of meaningful communities, and a believer in the power of midlife women as leaders, creators, and change agents. Through tailored and engaging coaching I partner with you to shift your mindset, ignite your passions and deepest yearnings and step into a new story of confidence, passion, visibility and thriving embodied.

My Why: The Reason I Became Coach Stacy

From a single mom on welfare I climbed my way to the c-suite of a multi-million dollar nonprofit yet often felt unqualified. As Coach Stacy, I know first-hand the challenges that many women face. I was invited to and led conversations at “important” tables yet battled invisibility (not feeling seen) and imposter syndrome. Comparison was stealing my confidence and stomping on my dreams. Perceived judgment from others caused me to question who I was and my own worth. I experienced the unshakable feeling that there was more I was meant to do, but couldn’t tap into my purpose. 

I started to realize that I forgot about my dreams. I definitely was not experiencing a thriving life.  

With an empty nest, I was motivated to do the work to uncover the inner barriers to reimagining and living out my dreams, passions and purpose. It was time to embrace this new chapter/season; to step into the powerful woman, the leader, the visionary that the world was waiting on. It was time to expand, get clarity around my limiting beliefs and challenge them with truth. It was my time to start shining, to step into my highest self driven by purpose, passion and a deep calling to connect with a new sense of possibility and lean into the impact I can have in this lifetime. This shift changed everything. 

Every heartbreak, misstep, life lesson, professional role, and piece of training has prepared me for this purpose. Now, as Coach Stacy, I use all of who I am to empower other midlife women to reclaim their voices, reconnect with their dreams, and live their best lives – starting now. With real-world experience evidence-based tools, and a customized approach, I’m commited to walking alongside women ready to step into the life they were always meant to lead.

On the cutting edge of the women’s transformational movement, I’m a coaching certification candidate of the Institute for Woman-Centered Coaching, Training and Leadership. I was recently showcased as a 2021/2022 Powerful Professionals’ leading expert, as seen on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and other outlets.
