Stacy's Story

After 30 years of professional experience in marketing and promotions, Stacy stepped away from her consulting business in 2020 and began to write full-time. Two years later, Inspired Girl Publishing Group agreed to publish her memoir. Shortly thereafter, Stacy told her story publicly for the first time on the Cornell University Alumni podcast, Cornell Thank U.

The overwhelming response from those with similar experiences convinced Stacy she had touched a nerve. Today, Stacy speaks in all sizes of venues, to various-sized audiences, determined to continue giving voice to parents and caregivers of children with mental illness.
