Stacey’s powerful lived experiences empower individuals to unlock their full potential, inspiring them to take action toward achieving their goals and dreams.

Her inspiring journey from adversity to empowerment began in housing commission accommodation with an absent mother, where she faced unimaginable challenges such as child sexual assault. At just 14, she was living in a shed, and by 15, she was pregnant with her first child. By 19, she had two children and was homeless. At the age of 21, Stacey faced a difficult ultimatum from the authorities: change her life or risk losing her children. At just 22 years old, she found herself raising three children on her own after surviving domestic abuse.

Through sheer grit and determination, Stacey’s resilience never wavered, she persevered and made courageous decisions that transformed her life against all odds.

Stacey’s no-nonsense style and sense of humor have helped her defy the odds and not only survive but thrive. Drawing on her lived experience and street-smart wisdom, Stacey has empowered countless individuals to achieve their own success.

As the co-founder of a million-dollar printing business, her tenacity and commitment have earned her nominations for several business awards.

Stacey’s reputation as a qualified leadership coach, author, and mentor precedes her, celebrated for her unwavering commitment to rawness, honesty, and compassion.
