What happens when life changes in ways you never expected?

In this deeply honest episode of Good Girl Gone Bad, Stacey Jane sits down with Michelle Ingram from Thrive and Survive Coaching to talk about what happens when traumatic events force you to reassess your life, your relationships and what really matters.

Michelle shares her experience of facing cancer twice, losing her first husband to leukemia at just 29, navigating grief and discovering how much life can change through experiences you never could have prepared for.

Together, Stacey and Michelle explore what it means to find your way through the aftermath of major life events and how those experiences can change the way you see yourself, your friendships and your future.

They talk about:

• How traumatic experiences can make you reassess your purpose and the life you're living
• Why you can't always know how you'll respond to something until you're actually facing it
• Learning that you are stronger and more capable than you think
• The importance of having people around you who don't treat you differently when life gets hard
• How grief and major life changes can reshape your friendships
• Why quality matters more than quantity when it comes to relationships
• Choosing who gets your time, energy and access to you
• Finding purpose through your own lived experiences
• Navigating change when the life you knew no longer looks the same

Michelle's story is a reminder that sometimes the experiences that completely change your life can also change your perspective on what you want from it.

You don't have to know exactly how you'll get through the next chapter.

Sometimes you just have to take the next step and trust that you have the capacity to keep moving forward.

What does it actually mean to want better?

In this episode of Good Girl Gone Bad, Stacey sits down with Chrysten for a conversation about ambition, self leadership, society and the belief that we are capable of more.

They may be working in very different worlds, but the mission is surprisingly similar.

Chrysten is looking at change through politics and society, while Stacey approaches it through the individual: how we lead ourselves, how we show up in our relationships, and how we create better lives from the inside out.

Together, they explore what happens when you stop settling for what you've been told is "normal", why people are exhausted and feeling stuck, and what it could look like to actually create change instead of simply talking about it.

They talk about:

• Why we shouldn't settle for mediocrity
• The difference between accepting what is "normal" and questioning whether it could be better
• How individual change can create a ripple effect into families, relationships and communities
• Why society's pressures are leaving so many people exhausted
• The role of personal responsibility in creating meaningful change
• How apathy keeps us stuck
• Why we need to listen to our own voice and question what we have accepted as normal
• What happens when two people choose completely different pathways but are working towards the same bigger goal

Because change doesn't have to look the same for everyone.

One pathway might be changing yourself.

Another might be changing the systems around you.

Two girls. Two pathways. Same mission.

To be better.

To have better.

And to believe that we can create better.

What happens when you finally realise that the life you're living isn't the life you want anymore?

In this deeply honest episode of Good Girl Gone Bad, Stacey sits down with Ashlie Stevenson, who shares parts of her story she has never spoken about this openly before.

Ashlie opens up about being in an emotionally abusive relationship, using substances as a way to cope, losing trust in herself and living each day focused on staying safe.

Then something changed.

She finally received the permission she desperately needed to believe what she was experiencing was real.

From there came what Ashlie calls borrowed courage. The belief that she could leave because she knew her family had her back.

Together, Stacey and Ashlie explore:

• What happens when you give up parts of yourself to become what others want you to be
• How abuse can make you question your own reality
• The power of being seen and validated
• Why sometimes we need to borrow courage before we can find our own
• Giving yourself permission to change your mind
• Choosing your happiness over a decision you made years ago
• How our past experiences can become part of our story without defining who we are today

This isn't a story about having all the answers.

It's a story about realising you have a choice.

And sometimes, all you need is someone to remind you that you do.

Your happiness is worth more than a decision you made three years ago.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is waiting for permission?

In this episode of Good Girl Gone Bad, Stacey Jane sits down with business owner and conveyancer Filia to explore what it really means to back yourself, embrace a "watch me" mindset, and build a life that works for you.

From starting a business while raising a family, navigating COVID, and learning to adapt through every season of life, Filia shares the mindset shifts, systems, and relationships that have helped her create success on her own terms.

Together, Stacey and Filia explore:

• Why success isn't about having it all figured out before you start
• The power of adapting instead of waiting for the perfect time
• How strong relationships create stronger businesses and lives
• Why quality always outweighs being available 24/7
• The importance of building systems that support your goals, your family, and your wellbeing

If you've ever doubted yourself or wondered whether you can build the life you want, let this be your reminder:

Don't wait for permission.

Back yourself.

Then let your actions say...

Watch me.

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to choose you?

Not because you earned it.

Not because you reached burnout.

But simply because you deserve it.

In this episode, Stacey Jane is joined once again by Tania for an honest conversation about self leadership, self care and learning to put yourself first without guilt.

Together they explore:

• Why choosing yourself can feel uncomfortable
• The conditioning that makes us believe self care is selfish
• How different seasons of life require different versions of self care
• The importance of listening to your body before burnout forces you to stop
• Practical ways to create a life that feels aligned, joyful and sustainable

If you've been pouring into everyone else while putting yourself last, this conversation is your reminder that choosing yourself isn't selfish.

It's necessary.

Because when your cup is full, you have so much more to give.

Why do the same patterns keep showing up in your relationships?

Why do certain conversations leave you feeling triggered? Why do you shut down, become defensive, or fear being abandoned, even when you know your partner isn't your past?

In this episode of Good Girl Gone Bad, Stacey is joined by Tasch Rogers for a powerful conversation about how your younger years shape the way you love, communicate, and connect today.

Together, they explore relationship blueprints, childhood wounds, emotional triggers, and why many of our automatic reactions aren't flaws—they're learned survival strategies.

Most importantly, they unpack how awareness creates choice, and how healing doesn't happen by pretending the past didn't exist. It happens by understanding it, taking responsibility for your patterns, and choosing a different response.

Because your past may explain your behaviours.

It doesn't have to define your future.

What happens when you realise the life you built isn't the life you're meant to live?

In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Stacey is joined by Bailey to share their remarkably similar journeys of being married, divorced, and starting again in their twenties.

Together, they unpack the pressure to "do the right thing", the conditioning that keeps us in relationships that no longer fit, and the courage it takes to choose yourself when everyone else has an opinion.

They also explore what happened after divorce, how they rebuilt their confidence, the lessons they learnt about self worth, and why finding healthy love starts long before you meet the right person.

If you've ever questioned a relationship, feared starting over, or wondered if real love still exists after heartbreak, this conversation is for you.

Because sometimes the bravest thing you'll ever do is leave the life that no longer fits, so you can create the one that truly does.

How often do you stop and ask yourself…

Is this what I actually want?

Or are you living a life shaped by expectations, conditioning, comparison, and the belief that you should follow the same path as everyone else?

In this episode of Good Girl Gone Bad, Stacey is joined by Reiki facilitator Sal, for an honest conversation about learning to trust your own voice.

Together, they explore the pressure to follow the "Australian dream", the courage it takes to choose a different path, and why comparison keeps us disconnected from what we truly want.

They also unpack the difference between listening to everyone else's opinions and listening to the quiet voice inside you that already knows the answer.

Because choosing yourself isn't selfish.

It's the beginning of living a life that actually feels like your own.

Season 3 is here!

To kick off the new season, Stacey is joined by her partner, Dylan, for an honest conversation about what it really takes to build a healthy relationship.

From navigating insecurities and setting boundaries to working through family challenges and learning how to communicate without sweeping things under the rug, this episode offers a real look at the conversations that have strengthened their relationship over the past two and a half years.

Together, they share the lessons they've learnt about self trust, vulnerability, choosing each other through difficult seasons, and why healthy relationships aren't built by avoiding hard conversations. They're built by having them.

If you've ever struggled to express what you need, found yourself carrying past experiences into your current relationship, or wondered what healthy communication actually looks like, this episode is for you.

Because connection isn't built through perfection.

It's built through honesty, trust, and choosing each other, one conversation at a time.

Self-leadership sounds inspiring… until it's Tuesday.

You're tired. You're behind. You hit snooze. You scroll. You rush through the day. You come home and collapse on the couch wondering if this is really all there is.

And somewhere along the way, you've started to believe that self-leadership is something other women do. Women with better routines, more time, and lives that are somehow more together than yours.

But what if self-leadership isn't a destination?

What if it's a practice?

In this episode of Good Girl Gone Bad, Stacey breaks down what self-leadership actually looks like in the ordinary moments of life. The alarm clock. The commute. The scroll. The choices you make when nobody's watching.

Because self-leadership isn't who you are when life is going well.

It's who you are when it isn't.

You don't need a complete life overhaul.

You just need to make a different decision in the next five minutes.

Because your life isn't happening somewhere else.

It's happening on a Tuesday.
