Hi! I’m Stacey, a mom, wife, small business owner, writer, and friend.
Plant collector, sourdough enthusiast, and a Birth & Postpartum doula (because supporting women is my jam). Enneagram 5, which means I’m always observing, overthinking, and storing random facts for later. Oh, and I firmly believe a good joke can fix just about anything—so if you’ve got a solid pun, I’m all ears!
where It all began...
It all began when I was just a child when everything I knew was turned around. There would be many years of heartbreak, feeling alone and lost.
But when I look back upon the many years of my life, I can see where God so gently met me in the turmoil of dysfunction even when I didn't know Him. I spent so much of my life living in the lies I believed of myself whether they were told to me or I created them because of the love I desired always seemed a bit out of reach. The reality is living through divorced parents, a mother with addiction, and being displaced as a child will lead you to seeking that love in all the wrong places...
Fast forward to my early twenties when my life collided with Jesus - truly changing my life of heartache to healing.
Walking through the journey of trials and tribulations to redemption has been a blessing that has been laid on my heart to share. Our stories may not look similar, but the feelings of shame and guilt, and feeling alone are very similar. My hope is that I get to meet you where you are and bring you hope and reassurance in the journey you may be in. I am truly so glad you are here!
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."
Hebrews 11:1

FACTS
NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF
I love Jesus - leading with love, grace, and meeting people where they are, the way He did.
I overuse exclamation marks - but hey, it's just my joy showing!
Healing helped me embrace color - in the way I dress to the way I see the world. What once felt too bold, now feels like a reflection of the light within me.
If traveling was a love language, it would be mine! Nothing fills my soul like exploring new places and seeing the world.

In the Lords Arms
Though I did not know it then, but I would hide in a small closet that was already filled to the brim, yet the only space I felt hidden. That is where I would pray to a God I had yet to truly know—peace would fill the small space, and I would know that I am not alone, feeling as though protective arms were wrapped tightly around me.

How many times have you needed to call customer service only to find yourself waiting on hold for an unreasonable amount of time? It becomes frustrating and often leads to a worse perception of the situation we were calling about initially. What about when we feel as though we are on hold with God?
Wandering Minds
It is just past midnight, and I am trying hard to yield silence in my mind, but it continues like a carousel with the thoughts I want to avoid. With every toss and every turn, I become adamant that this will be the last night—the last night of being consumed by thoughts that only leave me feeling insufficient.
