On How To Live Your Best Life Now | Stacy Solodkin | Abstract Artist, Gallery Owner

Stacy Solodkin had a thriving career as the founder of a successful talent agency, but her life shifted dramatically after a Stage 3 ovarian cancer diagnosis. Instead of slowing down, she reinvented her life, becoming an artist, opening her own gallery, marrying the love of her life, and embracing every day as her best day. She shares how cancer transformed her priorities, the life-saving changes she made to her diet and health, and why the people you surround yourself with matter more than anything. Stacy’s story is a reminder that there’s no perfect time to start living fully. Her perspective on love, resilience, and creating a life that reflects your true self will leave you inspired to make bold moves today.
