From Vocational to Daily Decisions:
What Am I Doing With My Life?
Overwhelm, anxiety, FOMO, and fear of commitment characterize today's young generations. We all wonder "how will I know when it's the right decision?" If handing your life and decisions over to God sounds scary, then this talk is a must. Stacey will take the anxiety out of hearing your callings not just for your vocational discernment, but every major life choice. Make steps in the right direction with confidence and grow an authentic relationship with God that will answer the deepest desires of your heart. God's adventure awaits!
Ideal for Theology on Taps, vocations events, diocesan retreats, young adult events, schools and colleges, and parish events
Whose Reflection Do You See in the Mirror?
Do you sometimes wish you could be someone else? Do you wish God had made you prettier, sexier or more popular? Does comparing yourself to other people hold you back from feeling truly free and happy? Our culture lies to us every day and attempts to tear us away from the beautiful vision God has for us. Despite a successful career as a touring Broadway performer, Stacey underwent years of self-image anxiety and comparison culminating in an eating disorder. She will arm you with effective strategies to reclaim your true identity and win the lifelong battle for self-worth.
Ideal for teen retreats or events, women's conferences, schools and colleges, parishes and diocesan retreats
Self-Worth in the Digital Age
There's no doubt about it: the internet is here to stay. Isolation, depression, and suicide are on the rise in youth and young adults. Comparison, competition, and loneliness are becoming alarmingly prevalent. How do we learn to use the internet without it using us? Where does our worth truly come from? How do we genuinely connect with each other? In this talk, Stacey demonstrates how a "Kingdom mindset" and an intimate relationship with our Creator are the antidote to some of the Western World's biggest problems.
Ideal for youth and young adult keynotes, retreats, Theology on Tap, schools and colleges, and parish-wide events
The Universal Feminine Call to Motherhood
Pope St. John Paul the Great wrote, "The moral and spiritual strength of a woman is joined to her awareness that God entrusts the human being to her in a special way." In a society becoming increasingly confused about gender, individualistic, and isolated, women today need formation and encouragement to heroically live their call to self-donation. Stacey elucidates and expands on the teachings contained in Pope St. JP II's Mulieris Dignitatem. Women in all stages and walks of life will learn the four key virtues needed for our universal call to motherhood (whether spiritual, physical, or both,) and how to acquire and live them in today's world.
Ideal for any diocesan, parish, or women's event for women of all ages
