    Oct 9 2024

    In this episode of Becoming Stacy, we dive into the one thing that’s guaranteed on your journey to success—but it’s also what holds most people back from ever taking that first step.

    What is it?

    The F Word....

    ...

    ..

    .

    Failure! Tune in as I unpack why failure is not only inevitable but essential for growth and long-term success.

    Learn how to shift your mindset, embrace setbacks, and use failure as a stepping stone instead of a roadblock.

    Key Takeaways:
    • The Real Barrier to Success: Fear of failure can paralyze you, but avoiding failure only keeps you stuck.
    • Reframing Failure: Why failure isn’t the opposite of success but a critical part of the process.
    • Fail Fast, Fail Forward: How to embrace failure as a learning tool and move through it faster.
    • Mindset Shift: Practical tips for changing how you approach failure, setting process-oriented goals, and bouncing back from setbacks.
    • Failure as a Teacher: Why some of your biggest lessons will come from the times you fall short—and how these lessons will fuel your growth.
    Memorable Quotes:
    • “Failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s a necessary part of it.”
    • “If you’re going to fail, you might as well fail forward.”
    • “Success doesn’t teach you as much as failure does. It’s where the real growth happens.”
    Actionable Tips:
    1. Normalize failure: Stop fearing it and start accepting that it’s part of the journey.
    2. Learn from setbacks: After a failure, evaluate what went wrong and how you can improve.
    3. Surround yourself with support: Create an environment where failure is understood and encouraged as part of growth.
    4. Focus on the process: Set goals based on effort and action rather than outcomes, so you can fail forward without feeling defeated.

  • \\ Moments That Matter: Grief, Love, and Living Intentionally
    Sep 25 2024

    In this deeply personal episode of Becoming Stacy, I share my recent journey through grief after experiencing not one, but two profound losses: the passing of my cherished pet and the unexpected departure of a beloved friend who was more like family.

    Just days before these events, I attended a grief and loss conference that offered valuable insights—little did I know how soon I would need to apply those lessons to my own life.

    Join me as I reflect on the raw emotions that surfaced during this time, from the heartbreak of loss to the struggle for acceptance in the face of life’s harsh realities.

    I’ll discuss the importance of stopping to embrace these feelings rather than rushing through them, highlighting how this pause allows us to fully appreciate the moments we have.

    Through shared experiences and practical takeaways from the conference, I’ll explore how we can honor our loved ones while also making the most of today.

    This episode is an invitation to cherish every connection, find meaning in our grief, and seize the moments that matter before they slip away.

    Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about love, loss, and the beauty of living intentionally.
