Stacey Raske, a specialist in mind unfuckery, appears on today’s show to discuss her work. She’s very focused on managing her time, attention, and money within her businesses and emphasizes the need to schedule time solely for business. She believes doing so allows for a deeper focus on tasks and the alignment of one's actions with their goals.

Stacey's backstory informs her approach to her work. For years, she wore a mask of who she thought she should be and worried about everyone else, which led her to minimize her skills as a natural healer. She followed the prescribed path, deviated from her true calling, and hit rock bottom in 2014. She weighed twice as much as she does now, had PTSD, was losing her corporate career, and her marriage was falling apart. She realized that she was trying to make herself look as ugly on the outside as she felt on the inside because she hated herself. This was the last time she was suicidal. She decided to stop trying to control anything other than herself and began taking back her power every day. She lost 100 pounds in a year, overcame obstacles, and decided to help others overcome their problems.

Stacey's work is all about being in alignment with one's truth and identity. She challenges the notion that people have to prove their worth through hustling, grinding, and sacrificing. Instead, she encourages people to do what is fun and easy for them as the best way to make a living. People have always come to her with their problems, but it took her a lifetime to realize that she could get paid for it. The magic of her work is just being herself and facilitating transformation.

Stacey started coaching because she felt like she should do it. She started as a health coach but wanted to go deeper and pivoted into mindset coaching. She realized that she enjoyed working with entrepreneurs, and her work continued to evolve as she grew and changed. Stacey always has coaches and mentors herself because she knows that she has to do the work to be able to help others do the work. Her work has evolved into a holistic approach to elevating leaders and entrepreneurs. Stacey emphasizes that if you truly want to scale your impact, your legacy, etc., you have to break down internal walls and integrate who you truly are. When you do this, everything external becomes easy and effortless.

Stacey's first therapeutic journey was in 2016 with ayahuasca, which brought her level of control issues to the surface. She didn't do another guided journey until 2022, but she found her recreational use of MDMA in the past had helped her mental well-being. She uses psilocybin when she needs to do a deep dive into inner work. Stacey believes that you can read all the books and attend all the seminars, but if you're just chasing a quick fix to feel better in the moment, you'll end up coming up against the same problem over and over again.

Stacey emphasizes that initially, things get worse before they get better when you dive into the pain you've been avoiding. However, it’s important to realize it’s your awareness that’s increasing, but the problem isn't any bigger than it was. If you're willing to dive in, the power comes from the pain, and it's where you'll learn your greatest lessons. If you avoid it, you'll avoid your greatness. Until you heal your inner worthiness wound, it will continue to show up everywhere in your life.

At the end of 2020, Stacey opened up her coaching to men as well. She believes that it's time to elevate everyone who fits her client profile, which is the true alpha balance of high sensitivity and high sensation seeking. You can care without taking on responsibility for things that aren't within your control and setting boundaries.
