Why THRIVE 23?
THRIVE 23 is more than a coaching brand—it is the heartbeat behind everything Stacey does.
The number 23 has been woven throughout her life since childhood. As a young athlete, Stacey chose to wear the same number as her older brother, someone she deeply admired. What began as a tribute became a lifelong reminder of the values he modeled: commitment, discipline, perseverance, integrity, faith, and service.
Over the years, Stacey and her family noticed the number 23 appearing during many of life's defining moments—both joyful and difficult. Rather than dismissing those moments as coincidence, they embraced them as reminders to stay anchored in what matters most: faith, family, purpose, and the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
When Stacey's brother passed away on November 4, 2023, those reminders took on an even deeper meaning.
THRIVE 23 became a promise.
A promise to honor his legacy by helping others discover theirs.
It represents the belief that while we cannot always control what happens to us, we can always choose how we respond. We can choose resilience over discouragement, purpose over comfort, gratitude over bitterness, and hope over fear.
That belief now shapes every coaching conversation, leadership workshop, keynote, and relationship Stacey builds.
THRIVE 23 exists to help people become the best version of themselves—not simply by achieving more, but by living with greater purpose, leading with integrity, serving others, and finding joy regardless of life's circumstances.
Because true success isn't measured only by accomplishments.
It's measured by the lives we influence, the leaders we develop, the culture we create, and the legacy we leave behind.
Represent well. Inspire others. Lead with purpose. Find joy. Thrive.
