The Gift of Living Life On My Own Terms After Deep Loss with Stacey Shifflett

Twenty years ago, Stacey Shifflett unknowingly shared her final conversation with her dad. Later that day he was lost to suicide, and it’s this loss that marks the beginning of her journey to becoming the strong, fearless, and empowered woman that she is today. 

In today’s episode Stacey shares with us the tragic story of her father’s passing, and how the experience of losing him is why she needs to live ridiculously out loud, why she stopped following the crowd and became the leader and hero of her own story, and how her Dad is still serving and loving her daily.

Stacey shares with us the gifts she learned from her dad’s suicide: 

• The gift of choice
• How she changed the narrative on anxiety and depression and now views it as an opportunity to connect with herself
• How listening to her intuition brought about her own hair salon which has led her to reaching financial goals
• The gift of taking chances
• The ability to look at challenges as a gift and not a curse
• The desire to Live Intentionally 

So friend, join us on the podcast today while Stacey talks about the many gifts she has learned from her Dad, how she does everything in her life with intention, how she is no longer crippled by her father’s suicide, and how she is living out loud to honor his memory.
