Don’t give up on yourself
Stacia kalinoski is an Author,
speaker,
award-winning JOURNalIST and
Epilepsy Patient Advocate
The TV news career Stacia loved ended suddenly due to a seizure she had no control over. The aftermath made one thing clear: brain surgery was her only chance to re-take control of her life, and she was willing to accept the risks. Stacia tapped into the determination and perseverance she developed as a reporter and marathoner, and now she’s helping audiences do the same.
Surgery inspired Stacia to create the award-winning documentary Brainstorm, as well as her new memoir Racing Uphill. Now she's sharing her story of resiliency and equips audiences with the tools to do the same. Stacia shares that resilience isn’t just bouncing back from difficult moments; it’s finding the courage to change course, reinforced through in her mantra:
Don’t Give Up On Yourself.
My memoir is coming July 2025!
“Through her powerful storytelling, she not only raises vital public awareness but also offers hope and encouragement to others navigating life with seizures.”
“Stacia’s emotion and power sparks a passion in all of those listening.”
