One year-ago today I strutted my stuff on the chem

One year-ago today I strutted my stuff on the chemo catwalk for one last time. What a difference a year makes! My heart is filled with immense gratitude that I am here to tell my tale, and that I can share my journey to encourage, inspire and support others.

As I reflect back on the past year, I realize that reconnecting with the divine, a joyful heart, a positive spirit, a resilient mindset, a strong support network and the ‘Will to Live’ were consequential forces in my healing process. That’s not to say that every day was a picnic, but rather that these intentions sparked a glow inside of me, and were ultimately my guiding light on this crazy cancer ride.

One of my most profound lessons that I learned was to give myself the gift of grace. Learning to combat the captious critic that seems to be on an endless loop in my head was by far my most difficult task. I am diligently working on quieting that critical voice. Giving yourself grace is much easier said than done. These four practices have helped me the most: Accept and love your body, give yourself permission not to do everything, never feel selfish for taking YOU time and celebrate your mini milestones each day.

For anyone currently in frontline treatment just know that you are capable, resilient, strong and you can do anything that you set your mind to. Make that your mantra. I encourage you to share your story with others you never know whose life you will touch.

Sharing my journey brought meaning to its existence, and provided me the opportunity to create lifelong bonds with what I like to call the jewels of my life @young_ovarian_cancer_ Thank you to my family, friends and IG family for all of your encouragement, love and support. I am grateful and thankful for each and every one of you.

Love,
Stacie

Friends are the family we choose ourselves. True g

Friends are the family we choose ourselves. True girlfriends are like pink diamonds: bright, cherished, exquisite, rare and valuable.

From Paris to LA to copious amounts of crisps in between we have so many memorable S&S shenanigans. I love you @stephhhieee I am so grateful for you and our friendship.

You stood by my side, held my hand and showed me the light in my darkest moment. Your positive spirit, encouraging words and ability to empathize and make me laugh lifted me up and helped me soar again. You gave me hope when I doubted it the most. You are a beautiful gift, filled with love and light.

I love you my Parisian sisie. 💕💕💕
Love,
Stace

Teal is the deal! September is Ovarian Cancer Awar

Teal is the deal! September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Wear teal this month to raise awareness, and to show your love and support. #30daysofteal

I never thought cancer would touch my life, especially at a young age. I was happy, healthy and living my best life in Paris with not a clue what was brewing inside of me. I share my story to advocate, educate, bring light to this silent killer and give hope to all the women that have been touched by this disease. 60% of all ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed later (Stage 3), because there are often few symptoms. I was diagnosed Stage IIIB when doctors finally caught it. My only symptoms were weight loss, bloating and a dull ache in my lower abdomen.

Know the signs:
1. Bloating
2. Pelvic or abdominal pain
3. Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
4. Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)

To all of my beautiful butterflies @young_ovarian_cancer_ that I have met through this journey you are a bold, strong and an inspirational group of women. Each one of you has a special light that shines brightly. I am grateful to call you my sisters. I wear teal for all of you.

I want to thank the @clearity_foundation foundation for all that you have done for me. The Clearity foundation is an amazing organization that provides treatment decision support, psychological support and advancing care. They are an incredible resource.

Sending love and light to all of you sweet teal sisters. 🦋💙

Happy Weekend Everyone! All smiles over here. Savo

Happy Weekend Everyone! All smiles over here. Savoring the simple pleasures in life. There are so many little things to be grateful for. Often it is the smallest experience that can bring us the greatest joy. I am so thankful to be riding a bike soaking up the salt air from the sea in Montecito. Thank you @rosewoodmiramarbeach for such a memorable stay.

Current status glowing up from the inside out…

Hi Everyone,
I haven’t posted in awhile because I have been struggling with some severe pain and side effects from my immunotherapy. I have been trying to embrace the glorious mess that I am with a smile on my face.

For any of you facing adversity or hardship this journey has taught me that you have to tap into your inner strength to push through fears, and conquer your challenges. Let the fire inside of you burn brighter than the one around you. Don’t let anything dim your light within. With brave wings you will fly. No amount of darkness can extinguish the glow of a soul’s inner light.

Never trust your fears as they do not know your strength, and they will often lead you down the wrong path. The power lies within! It’s all about your mindset! Everything is up to you! When you cannot control what is happening to you, control the way you respond to what is happening. That’s where your power is. And when all else fails fake it until you make it! Get up each morning, put a smile on your face and be grateful for the gift of that glorious day.

Sending you love and light 🌟💕

Love,
Stacie
