#10 Starting a Meditation Practice

I'm back after a hiatus and a 1,000 mile move and I'm sharing my journey as an entrepreneur and mother from borrowing money to buy my first camera to running a 7 figure photography studio. I'm sharing the big ups and downs that led me to exactly where I am today, including why we sold it all and moved! Here are some of the big topics in today's episode: The early years of running our business while growing our family The challenges, fears and blocks I faced trying to scale our business with multiple revenue streams Why business owners come face to face with their biggest fears The turning point in my business when I figured out how to never be copied again Why and how we sold everything and moved 1,000 miles south! The REAL "secret" to achieving financial success while experiencing health of mind, body and spirit The daily practice that helps me overcome ADHD symptoms and see my brain as a gift instead of a curse Ready to join my coaching community?

I’m Stacy, a 40-something mom to 3 girls - one in college, one in high school, and one in preschool. Yes, you read that right. And no, she wasn’t an accident. My husband and I decided to go for baby #3 after not having changed a diaper in more than a decade. Are we crazy? Totally! But we love our girl gang. I’m also a professional photographer with 12 years of experience behind the lens at Stacy Mae Photography. When I don’t have a camera in my hand, you can find me watching Netflix, scrolling instagram, or browsing Home Goods for things my husband says we don’t need. Since having my last daughter (and living through a pandemic), I’ve become super passionate about helping moms photograph their kids with creativity and intention. I also want to be a source of motivation and encouragement to get more moms in the frame WITH their kids.
