✨ You Can Be Excited About Your Future and Still Feel Scared.

Can I tell you something?

I'm incredibly excited about where my life is going right now.

I'm writing my second book.

I'm creating new opportunities through Bucket List Unlimited.

I'm meeting amazing people, building relationships, and stepping onto stages I never imagined I'd be standing on.

And this weekend, I'll be speaking at Sparkle Fest!

I'm excited.

I'm grateful.

And if I'm being completely transparent...

I'm a little scared, too.

Not because I don't believe in what I'm doing.

But because I'm stepping into things that are bigger than what I've done before.

And sometimes, even when you KNOW you're moving in the right direction, there's that little voice in your head asking:

What if I'm not ready?

What if I mess up?

What if I can't live up to the opportunity?

But here's something I'm learning about this season of my life.

You don't have to choose between being excited and being scared. You can feel both.

You can be confident in your message and still get butterflies before stepping onstage.

You can believe in your business and still wonder whether your next idea will work.

You can be grateful for an opportunity and still feel intimidated by it.

And you can be absolutely certain that you're meant to do something without knowing exactly how it's all going to unfold.

I used to think confidence meant not being afraid.

Now I think confidence is trusting yourself enough to move forward even when you are.

Because if I waited until I felt completely ready, there are so many things I would never have experienced.

So many people I never would have met.

So many opportunities I would have missed.

And so much of the woman I'm becoming would still be waiting for permission to show up.

2026 has been my year of BECOMING.

And I'm realizing that becoming doesn't always feel comfortable.

Sometimes it feels like excitement and fear showing up at the exact same time.

But I'm choosing to keep saying YES.

To the opportunities.

To the experiences.

To the people.

And to the woman I'm becoming along the way.

Because I'd rather be a little scared while living a life I'm excited about than feel completely comfortable in a life I've outgrown. 💙

What are you excited about right now that's also making you a little nervous?

I'd love to hear what you're saying YES to!

Have you ever said, “Someday I’m going to write a book”?

What if you started November 4?

I had an epiphany this morning before I even got out of bed.

I’m writing my second book, The Bucket List Effect, and my goal is to have a rough draft finished before the end of the year.

And I thought—I help women entrepreneurs write their nonfiction books. What if I invited you to come along on this journey with me?

You could watch me work through my own book, ask questions, and make progress on yours alongside me. I’ll be using AI during the process, too, so if you’re curious about that, you’ll get to see it in action.

That’s how Write Along With Stacy, part of The Bucket List Author Experience, came to life!

We start November 4 at 5:30 p.m. Pacific time. There will be live sessions, replays, and a workbook to help you put what you learn into practice.

Bring your idea, your notes, or that draft you started and put aside.

Could you head into the New Year with a rough draft? That will depend on where you’re starting and the writing you do between sessions—but imagine the progress you could make by giving your book a regular place on your calendar.

I’m opening just 12 spots, and early bird enrollment is $297 through October 27. After that, it’s $397.

I would love to write alongside you. Let’s see what your next yes could set in motion!

💡 You know you're an entrepreneur when you haven't even gotten out of bed yet, and you're already creating your next big idea!😂

That was me this morning.

I'm currently working on my second book, The Bucket List Effect, and I had an epiphany.

What if I invited YOU to write a book alongside me?

Not another course where I tell you how to write a book.

Not a bunch of prerecorded videos explaining what you should be doing.

I'm talking about opening up my actual writing process and letting you come along for the ride.

📖 You'd watch me brainstorm and mind map my ideas.

✍️ You'd see how I create my outline, organize chapters, and turn ideas into actual writing.

💻 You'd see the writing, rewriting, editing, and all the messy parts that happen behind the scenes.

And here's the fun part...

You could be working on YOUR nonfiction book right alongside me!

I'm envisioning live Zoom sessions where we work through the process together, with replays available if you can't attend live.

You'd get to see what writing a book actually looks like. Not just the polished finished product, but the decisions, challenges, changes, and little victories along the way.

And I'd be right there doing the work with you.

I think there's something powerful about learning from someone who isn't just teaching the process but is actively going through it themselves.

Now, this is literally an idea I had this morning. I haven't worked out all the details.

But before I go any further, I want to know what YOU think!

Would you be interested in an experience like this?

Would you want to write your own nonfiction book alongside me, or would you rather just watch the process to learn how it's done?

Tell me in the comments! 👇

I'm genuinely curious whether this is something people would find valuable.

And who knows? Maybe we'll end up writing our next books together! 📚✨

I went into this week excited to share my message. Now I’m writing my next book! 📖✨

My speaking opportunities this week have inspired me so much that I couldn’t wait to start:

The Bucket List Effect: What Happens When You Stop Waiting and Start Saying Yes

I wanted to write my first book for twenty years. Finally writing Bucket List Living: Living Your Purpose opened doors I never could have planned: podcasting, speaking, friendships, collaborations, and incredible communities.

One dream keeps creating ripples. And I have so much more to share.

This book is for you if there’s something on your heart that you keep saving for “someday.” A book. An adventure. A new beginning. Something you want to create, experience, or contribute.

What could happen if you gave it your next yes?

The book is just taking shape, so I don’t have a publishing date yet. But I would love for you to be part of the journey!

Join the waitlist for updates and be among the first to hear when it’s ready: https://form.jotform.com/262859202029054

What’s one dream you’ve been putting off? Tell me below. 💙

Congratulations on your failed business. At least you tried.

I saw a post on LinkedIn recently that said something along those lines, and I haven't stopped thinking about it.

I wish I could remember who wrote it, because I'd love to give them credit.

But what struck me was the perspective.

We congratulate people when they launch successful businesses.

When they publish bestselling books.

When they reach impressive milestones.

When they accomplish something the rest of the world recognizes as success.

But what about the person who took a chance and it didn't work out?

The person who invested their time, energy, and savings into an idea they believed in?

The person who wrote a book nobody bought?

The person who launched a business that eventually closed?

The person who stood on a stage, shared their message, and didn't get the response they hoped for?

Why don't we celebrate their courage, too?

Because here's something I've learned:

It's easy to look at someone else's dream and explain why it won't work.

It's much harder to put your own dream out into the world and risk being wrong.

I've tried different careers, explored different opportunities, and changed directions more times than I can count.

Not everything worked out.

And I'm sure there will be things I try in the future that don't work out either.

But I don't want to reach the end of my life wondering what might have happened if I'd just been brave enough to try.

My dad's death taught me that someday isn't guaranteed.

And that's one of the reasons I believe so strongly in taking chances on the things that matter to us.

Failure might mean something didn't work. It doesn't mean the effort was wasted.

You might learn something.

Meet someone.

Discover a strength you didn't know you had.

Or realize that the direction you were pursuing wasn't actually the one you wanted.

And sometimes, the experience prepares you for an opportunity you can't even imagine yet.

So yes, congratulations to the entrepreneur whose business didn't make it.

Congratulations to the aspiring author who finished a manuscript that never got published.

Congratulations to the person who took a chance, heard no, and is figuring out what comes next.

Not because failure is something we should romanticize. It can be painful, expensive, and heartbreaking.

But because you had the courage to do something that mattered to you, even without a guarantee that it would work.

And that deserves recognition.

I'd rather have a collection of stories about things I tried than a lifetime of wondering what might have been.

What have you tried that didn't work out, but you're still glad you did?

Make You Think Monday: What If You're Not Behind?

What if you've simply been on a different path?

I've spent much of my adult life trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up.

And I'm not exaggerating. 😂

I've had different jobs, explored different careers, and made some pretty significant changes along the way.

Sometimes I got bored.

Sometimes I didn't like my boss.

Sometimes I felt like there had to be something more meaningful I was supposed to be doing.

And sometimes life handed me a devastating loss that made everything I thought mattered suddenly seem less important.

So I'd make a change.

Start something new.

Learn something different.

And eventually find myself wondering, once again, if this was really what I was meant to do.

For years, I sometimes wondered why I couldn't just settle into one career like so many other people seemed to do.

Why couldn't I be satisfied?

Why did I always feel like I was searching for something?

Now, in my 50s, I think I'm finally beginning to understand.

Maybe I wasn't lost.

Maybe I was learning.

Every job taught me something.

Every career change introduced me to different people, skills, and experiences.

Every disappointment taught me something about what I didn't want.

And some of the most painful experiences of my life completely changed what I believed was important.

Today, as an author, entrepreneur, podcaster, and speaker, I finally feel like I've found my purpose.

And for the first time, I feel like I'm on the right path.

What's fascinating is that I use something from almost every chapter of my life in the work I do today.

Maybe those years weren't detours after all. Maybe they were preparation.

I think we put far too much pressure on ourselves to figure everything out early in life.

Choose a career.

Find your passion.

Build your future.

Stay on track.

But whose track?

Some people discover their purpose at 20.

Others at 40.

Some of us don't begin to recognize it until we're in our 50s, 60s, or beyond.

And I think that's because our purpose is often shaped by the very experiences we haven't lived yet.

The people we meet.

The mistakes we make.

The losses we endure.

The opportunities we pursue.

The things we discover about ourselves along the way.

What if you couldn't have become who you are today without first being all the people you were before?

I've chosen BECOMING as my word for this year.

And maybe that's what becoming really means to me.

Not finally arriving at some perfect destination.

But recognizing that every chapter has contributed to the person I am today.

I don't regret having different careers.

I don't regret exploring different paths.

And I no longer feel like I need to explain why it took me so long to figure out what I wanted to do.

Because I'm finally doing something that feels meaningful to me.

So if you're looking around and wondering why everyone else seems to have figured out their lives while you're still searching, consider this:

Maybe you're not behind.

Maybe you're gathering the experiences, wisdom, and perspective that will eventually lead you somewhere you can't even imagine today.

And when you get there, you might look back and realize that none of it was wasted.

Your path to purpose doesn't have to look like anyone else's.

And there's no age limit on discovering what makes you feel truly alive.

Have you always known what you wanted to do, or did it take you a few different paths to discover your purpose?
