Hi, I’m Stacey.

​

I’m a life coach, teacher, and mom of four.

​

I always wanted to be a mother, and I was delighted to start my family. But somewhere between my second and third child, I realized I was struggling much more than I thought I would, or should be.

 

My third baby was born in the spring of 2020, just weeks into the COVID lockdown. Suddenly I was home with three young kids, homeschooling my oldest, far from family and without support.

 

I felt resentful, overwhelmed and completely reactive to everyone else’s needs.

 

And I kept thinking: I should be better at this.

​

Coaching changed things for me.

​

It gave me tools for understanding my thoughts, emotions and choices. Over the years, I also learned much more about ADHD, anxiety, relationships, parenting, systems, support—and myself.

​

And slowly, life got bigger again.

​

Today, I have four kids. I coach. I volunteer. I’m involved in my church and community. I garden, raise animals, host people, start projects, and regularly get excited about ideas that are probably more complicated than necessary.

​

I genuinely like having a lot of good things going.

​

And I've also experienced overwhelm, resentment, anxiety, depression, frustration and moments when the life I love has felt like entirely too much.

 

For a long time, when I felt that way, the advice seemed obvious:

 

Say no. Do less. Simplify.

 

And sometimes? Absolutely.

​

But sometimes I wanted to yell, “But I don’t WANT to!”

​

Because I didn't necessarily want a smaller life.

​

I wanted to understand why this life felt so hard.

​

That question changed the way I coach.

​

I don’t assume the answer is doing less. I also don’t assume you can mindset or organize your way out of every problem.

​

Instead, we get curious.

​

What is actually making this hard?

​

Is something genuinely too much? Is a system not working? Are you carrying an expectation you don't actually believe in? Do you need more support? Do you need to be comfortable asking for support? A boundary? A difficult conversation? A different way of understanding yourself? Is something worth the effort even though it's hard?

​

We don’t decide the answer before we understand the problem.

​

That’s the work I love doing with women now.

​

You can bring me the resentment, the marriage problem, the parenting struggle, the impossible schedule, the decision you keep circling, the thing you know but can't seem to implement—or simply the feeling that something is off.

​

Together, we sort through the friction between what you know, what matters to you, and the way you actually want to live.

​

Because I don't think you have to choose between drowning and dismantling a life you love.

​

There can be another option: understanding what's happening, deciding what matters, and getting your good things going.

​
