Unlocking the Secrets to Living BIG with Stacey St. John
Ever felt like you were meant for more—but something (maybe even yourself) was holding you back? In this episode, I sit down with my rockstar team member and dear friend, Lauryn Summerley, to pull back the curtain on my brand-new book, LIVE BIG.
I’m sharing the powerful mindset shifts that helped me break free from feeling stuck and step into a life of purpose, freedom, and limitless possibility.
Inside this conversation, we’ll dive into:
Inside this conversation, we get real about what LIVE BIG is all about. I dive into the personal struggles and defining moments that led me to write the book—those times of self-doubt, the mindset shifts that changed everything, and how I finally stepped into unshakable confidence. This isn’t just another book on business or mindset; it’s a roadmap for transformation.
LIVE BIG blends powerful mindset techniques with actionable tools for creating a life and business filled with purpose, joy, and success. I also created the 90-Day Momentum Maker to help readers put these lessons into action and build real momentum in their lives. And for those ready to take it even further, my free 4-hour workshop, Ignite Your Impact, happening on April 4, will guide you through implementing the LIVE BIG system in a powerful, hands-on way. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a creative, or just someone looking to break free from limiting beliefs, this journey is about stepping fully into your power and taking bold action toward the life you were meant to live.

- “I think a lot of folks…let life happen to them. And when you choose to LIVE BIG, you choose to be in the driver’s seat of your life, and that means your business as well. But when you choose to be in the driver’s seat, you start thinking bigger, you start acting bolder.”
- “If you want to change the output from your brain, you also have to change the input.”
- “In order for us to grow as businesswomen, as moms, as wives, as daughters, as sisters, we have to be feeding new input into our brains…so that we can have a better output.”
