Stacey is the Chief Mom Officer of The Mom Renewal Project, which is a mom community to recharge – body, mind, & spirit – so you can live your best life as a woman, mom & partner.

When Stacey became a working mom back in 2003, she realized self-care was something she had to intentional incorporate into motherhood if she was going to be able to live her best life as a woman, mom, and wife. She knew no one was going to make her self-care a priority except for herself.
