However, this was a little different. Her book,Embracing the Calm in the Chaos: How to Find Success in Business and Life Through Perseverance, Connection, and CollaborationInspired me as an entrepreneur, as a mom, as a woman, as a creative, and in so many other ways. There were so many moments in her story where Stacy stepped out of fear and into her confidence, competence, and vision, making things happen! So, I tapped into my confidence, competence, and vision and asked her to be on the podcast! Of course, she said "yes" because she's a fantastic giving soul. She's been giving back through her company for 23+ years, so I wasn't shocked at her willingness to pour a little love into my creative project :-) Her book is filled with wisdom. Stacy does everything with intention, purpose, and meaning, whether it's the collaboration with a cause or her creative values. I'm so thrilled to have had this conversation with Stacy. Whether you're reading her book as an entrepreneur or not, you will learn so much about perseverance, connection, collaboration, and all the amazing things that can happen when we step into the adventure of connecting and giving back. I am super excited about her latest collaboration with Strawberry Shortcake!Enjoy the conversation! And if you are inspired, share this episode with someone you love so they can be inspired.~Heather
