Stacy’s journey began with a diagnosis of terminal illness in her first husband. From there, she faced a failed marriage, single parenting, financial collapse, and job loss. But her resilience shone through these setbacks.

With a health challenge of her own, a mis-diagnosis of 12 years led to multiple hospital stays, near-death experiences, and surgery that changed her life. Stacy’s deep understanding of hope, joy, and laughter, born from these struggles, infuses every talk she gives with heart and authenticity.

With a BFA in Theatre, Stacy has performed across stage, film, standup comedy, and radio. She is currently a National Touring Comedian with the, “Mom’s Unhinged”, Stand-Up Comedy Show. She co-founded The Academy of Children’s Theatre (ACT) and Ministry Center for the Arts (MCA) in Colorado Springs, blending her passion for the arts with her commitment to empowering others. Her performances draw from this rich background, ensuring every talk is both engaging and inspiring.
