Year End Women's Empowerment Circle
Unlock Your Power: A Transformative Year-End Women's Circle
11/07/2024
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how much connection and shared energy can lift our spirits. Now more than ever we need each other.
So often women are the one's holding it all together on the outside as they juggle multiple roles and responsibilities while secretly suffering on the inside, feeling unsupported, under valued and alone.
Circle is a sacred space for us to come together and just be real. It's incredible how supportive energy from a community can make a big difference.
Imagine a room filled with open hearts, a space where we can pause from the noise and just connect. I’m creating this circle as a place for us to re-center and share our journeys. If this sounds like something you’re needing, I’d love for you to come to the next Women's Empowerment Circle in Vancouver, WA on Wed. 11/20.
It will be medicine for our souls, food for our spirits and comfort for our hearts. ❤

Did you hear the news? Women's Empowerment Circles are coming BACK TO THE 'COUVE! The next Circle is happening Wed. Nov 22nd at the Méraki Collective - DON'T MISS IT!
"A circle of women may be the most powerful force known to humanity. If you have one, embrace it. If you need one, seek it. If you find one, for the love of all that is good and holy, dive in. Hold on. Love it up. Get naked. Let them see you. Let them hold you. Let your reluctant tears fall. Let yourself rise fierce and love gentle. You will be changed. The very fabric of your being will be altered.” ~ Jeanette LaBlanc

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐅𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 – 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐭!
Let's be real: you’re chasing success, grinding day in and day out, pushing yourself to the limits. But here’s the uncomfortable truth – you’re probably ignoring the single most critical factor that will determine whether you thrive or burn out: Nervous System Fitness.
You’ve optimized your productivity. You’ve hustled for more hours. You’ve even dabbled in self-care routines. But hear me on this...if your nervous system is running on overdrive, you're just one stressor away from crashing. Sure, you’ve got ambition, but can your nervous system handle the heat?
Here’s the kicker:
If your nervous system isn’t fit, everything else falls apart:
Your focus fades.
Your creativity? Gone.
Your decision-making? Compromised.
Think you can handle the pressure? Not without a regulated nervous system. It’s the foundation for your mental toughness and emotional resilience – and yet, most people are totally clueless about how to train it. This isn’t just about managing stress – it’s about mastering it.
On Saturday, Nov 2nd, from 10am-12pm in Vancouver, WA, I'll be teaching you how to train your nervous system for better 'fitness' so that you can handle the stress that is thrown your way and be the person you want to be while having the success you desire in your business or professional life. We'll even be going through a full nervous system reset NEUROFIT class!
Early bird pricing ends this Saturday and space is limited so don't wait - tickets are selling! Do yourself, your nervous system and your dreams a favor and grab your ticket today! 👇

Going through some documents and found this beautiful gem today.
My word for this year is 'visibility' and one way I have failed to show up in the past is by hiding my light and sharing the praise I receive. So today, I'm leaning into receiving (something else I'm working on) and sharing this beautiful testimony from a past client with you so that you may hear what it's like to work with me. And while this testimony is a couple of years old, this client is still thriving today after taking off on a new trajectory post coaching.
BTW, I currently have an opening for 1 new client. If you are interested in speaking with me on how we can work together, please DM me and we'll set up a time to chat - pressure free.

I connected with Stacy after witnessing her vulnerability at a Spark Storytelling Night in Portland. I realized we have some things in common and opened up to her at the end of the night, she was extremely supportive and so easy to talk to. Then a few months later, in the middle of the Global Pandemic, I found myself depressed, unmotivated and disappointed that I was not living up to my potential. I was lacking confidence and excitement for life and my business.
I attended a virtual master class that Stacy taught on Energy Leadership. I learned so much about how the energy we show up with affects our lives and the lives of people around us. At that time I was living mostly unconsciously and focusing on all the things that were going wrong. I was reacting to my situation instead of shifting my energy around it and being who I needed to be to live the life I want.
I am so grateful that I started working one on one with Stacy! She is very easy to talk to and guides each session with incredible insights and loving challenges that accelerated my growth and transformation. I now focus on who I am being instead of all the doing that boggled me down and kept me small before. Stacy empowered me to live life on my own terms. She sees my desire to live a life that goes against the norm and she gave me the tools and guidance to confidently step into my power and run my business the way I want to. I can feel a huge shift in the way I speak about my business now. I am clear on my values, confident in my skills and how I am showing up, and so excited to continue to grow into the badass woman and entrepreneur that I am. I also feel more self love than I ever have before because I am living out my goals and dreams on my own terms, and not letting the opinions or experiences of others influence the decisions I make in life and in business. I have accomplished so much since starting my sessions with Stacy and can feel myself living more consciously and experiencing more higher frequency thoughts and feelings.
Thank you for everything Stacy! I am blown away by my transformation. Being where I am today seemed like an impossible feat before we started working together. I am so proud of myself and my commitment. I can't wait to see what happens as I continue down this path.
So much love 💕,
Kayden

From Jan. 2018 to Dec 2021 in just 3 years time, I was hit with a massive amount of chronic stress. From the sudden loss of my stepdad, to 2 layoffs and my fitness biz being shut down during the pandemic, my mom getting cancer, and my daughter's father (my ex of 13 yrs) passing away, and all while being a single mom of a teenager at the time - seriously, it was just too much.
Then...it all came to head when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Dec 2021. Talk about a traumatic event!
As a began my healing journey in early 2022, I was told unanimously by all of my doctors that I needed to decrease my stress levels. Ok, Duh!
Unfortunately, right after my treatments ended, I had to move for the first time in 9.5 years and then 6 months later, I was laid off AGAIN in the Fall of 2022 in a company wide layoff!
MORE life stressors hitting me hard.
Even though it was scary getting laid off again, it was at the moment that I knew it was time to go ALL IN on my coaching business and really pursue my dreams.
Which is exciting, right?
Yes, it is. But...being an entrepreneur is also extremely stressful and about 6 months into it, my savings account was dwindling and I was feeling my stress rise to what felt like a deadly amount, as my anxiety went through the roof and my body couldn't calm down. I knew I needed to get help and I needed to do so fast because I was fully aware of the impact of stress on my health from my past lived experience.
It was then that I really started to dig into healing myself at the nervous system level. I knew I needed to get back into my body and help it get out of the 'fight or flight' state it had been in for so long.
Once I got control of it through somatic practices and I started to regulate my nervous system, I was then able to soar to new heights and pursue my dreams like never before, and feel amazing while I'm doing it! (Some of you have even watched me do this over the past year and half)
Now, it's time to teach others what I've learned and empower them with the knowledge and tools that have helped me so much, so they can help themselves too.
This is why I became a certified Nervous System and Somatics Coach. So I can help others unlock their full potential and reduce the impact of chronic stress on their own well being through Nervous System Fitness.
On Saturday, Nov. 2nd I will be facilitating an immersive (in person) 2 hour workshop in Vancouver, WA where I'll be doing just that. During this workshop you will learn foundational principals for mitigating your chronic stress, and strategies to regulate your nervous system. You'll also get to experience a full NEUROFIT® nervous system reset class too!
Space is limited to only 15 women and early bird pricing runs through Sat 1026. If you're someone who is 'doing it all' and feeling stretched thin, this is a MUST for you! Especially as we head into the holiday season, not to mention the state of the world at the moment.
Give yourself the gift of well being and a regulated nervous system and join me for this incredible experience!
I hope to see you there! ❤

Can we talk about this image? It's a photo of the giant 42x22 ft mural painting located inside the Tibbals Building at The Ringling museum in Sarasota, FL. If you been listening to my podcast, you know that my time in the circus didn't end the way I had expected it to.
So when I discovered that I was a part of this mural, I was shocked. Look closely on top of that BIG elephant in the top right corner - that's ME!
Pretty cool, eh?
Ok, yes, it is but here's the thing, for YEARS it really messed with my head. To understand why, you'll need to listen to the episode (it's only 23 min long).
And I will say...this weeks episode: Overcoming Rejection: Embracing Worth and Pursuing Dreams is probably my MOST important episode to date.
The message is clear and every woman on the planet needs to hear it. The only question that remains is, will you not only receive it...but will you embody it?
I sure hope so.❤
PS - Don't forget to join me tomorrow evening Oct. 2nd at 5:30pm for the FREE online special event Center Ring Conversations: A Backstage Pass to Life is a Circus (see below to register) where we'll discuss all things podcast, have an open Q & A (ask me anything) and I may even share some special tidbits that we're disclosed on the podcast (yet).

I've waited 35 years to tell my story to the world of what happened to me while I was in the circus. It's not easy to revisit those days but I know it's important to share the truth, if for nothing else, to heal my past and to take my power back as I rewrite the narrative!
This entire experience sent me on a trajectory of chronic dieting and never feeling good enough in my own skin for decades.
Yes, decades!
This week's episode and next week are the shows that will "tell all" about this pivotal point during my time with the circus and my life. I'm finally taking my power back by using my voice (literally) to tell my truth, while empowering others to do the same!
I hope you'll listen in...🎧

Ever feel like you're hanging by a thread, and the only thing keeping you from throwing in the towel is sheer willpower? I’ve been there—many times. In this week’s episode of "Life as a Circus", I’m diving into those exact moments when everything feels like too much, but we dig deep and keep going anyway.
I’m sharing a personal story from my days in the circus (yes, there was pie involved, but that’s just the beginning!). I’ll also be teaching how to practice perseverance and shift your perspective when the road gets tough. Because when life throws obstacles at you, it’s not about dodging them—it’s about finding a way through.
🎧 Tune in for some real talk about pushing past limitations and staying the course, even when it feels impossible. Plus, I’ve got some practical tips to help you persevere when you’re just about ready to give up.
Have you already listened to the episode? What was your biggest takeaway?

To Pivot or Not to Pivot...that’s a question that can keep you stuck for far too long if you let it.
I shared the news yesterday that I am officially walking away from teaching Zumba (for good this time - you can read the announcement I shared on my timeline). This decision wasn’t easy and it’s bittersweet for me.
It’s scary to let go sometimes because of the unknown that awaits us on the other side. But at the same time, it doesn’t have to be scary. It can be exciting if we let it.
Oddly enough, the timing of this announcement just so happens to line up with the story and topic I talk about this week on my podcast “Life is a Circus”. In this episode I share a pivotal moment regarding making the decision to stay or leave when it came to renewing my contract in the circus. Both times there was a part of me that wanted to hold on but I knew the best thing for me was to let go and head into the unknown.
If you’re in a place right now where you’re contemplating change, this episode is for you!
Here are three key takeaways from this episode that I believe can inspire and guide you in your own decision-making journey:
🌟 Courage in Decision Making: Every choice, big or small, requires bravery. It’s about stepping away from fear and embracing what truly benefits your well-being and future.
🔄 Know When to Pivot: Staying in a situation out of comfort can lead to frustration and burnout. Recognizing the need for change, even if it’s difficult, is crucial for personal and professional growth.
🧠 Align with Your True Self: Make decisions that reflect your core values and authentic self. When your actions align with who you are at your core, even tough decisions will feel right.
Making intentional, courageous decisions that align with who you are is the path to self-mastery and fulfillment. Listen to this episode of “Life is a Circus: So, Let’s Step Into Self Mastery” to dive deeper into this transformative journey.
