Helping others heal. Stacey's story on healing through her son's heroin addiction and finding her higher purpose.
Stacey's story is one of a higher purpose and to help others heal. Three years ago her 17 year old son who was a starting football player, had good grades, wanted to join the military, started in a downward spiral with drugs and alcohol. It ultimately led to a full blown heroin addiction after driving his car into a tree at 100 mph attempting suicide. This then led to Stacey to address years of her own pain. She believes she was given this story to help other people in similar situations. Her son's story getting this dark woke her up and encouraged her to show up as her authentic self pain and all. She believes the greatest gift we can give ourselves is the freedom of finding the bright side. That when we take the time to share the darkest parts of ourselves, we give permission for the light to shine through, and that can ultimately help others do the same.
