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. Now she's sharing her story of resiliency to motivate audiences to follow the same five words she repeated to herself during the most trying times.

Don’t Give Up On Yourself.

In her engaging presentations, Stacia shares that resilience isn’t just bouncing back from difficult moments, it’s moving forward and finding the courage to change course. She gives tools to encourage audience members to overcome their own adversity.

Stacia’s emotion and power sparks a passion in all of those listening.

2016 premiere documentary

BRAINSTORM

How does the brain suddenly flip a switch, start short-circuiting, and cause strange behavior that a person cannot control? With multiple types of seizures, education is needed to dispel myths and misunderstanding surrounding epilepsy. This documentary aims to reduce the stigma through education and personal stories, with a focus on the denial, stigma, hope and determination that comes with living with seizures. I wrote, edited and co-produced this documentary along with a small team of people.
