Self improvement & career changes
After a pretty intense breakup in college, Stacey realized that she didn’t feel good; mentally, physically or emotionally. While listening to entrepreneurial podcasts, she started to resonate with their stories, particularly when they hit their low points. She identified with them and was inspired by how they got themselves out of the rut. This motivated Stacey to focus on her health and start her journey as a UGC creator.
Journey of healing her gut and hormone issues
Early in her healing journey, Stacey read the book “Beyond The Pill” by Jolene Brighten, and its shocking statistics convinced her to get off birth control and address her hormone and gut health. At the end of the book, the author gives a recommended diet plan for re-balancing your hormones. After making these dietary changes, Stacey gained confidence in her ability to heal naturally and she recalls feeling more energetic and zestful.
