Stacey Currie's Biography
By any standard, Stacey should be living on the streets, in jail, on drugs or dead. She ticks all the boxes when it comes to risk factors. She had an absent mum, was bought up in housing commission and experienced child sexual abuse. By 14, she was living in a shed. By 15, she was pregnant. By 19, she had 2 babies and was homeless. By 21, Stacey had 3 kids and was living in a domestic violent relationship.
Today, she is a keynote speaker, successful businesswoman, mother of five and inspiration to thousands of people who have adopted her life lessons.

When it comes to change, the goal setting model that most people use hasn’t changed all that much since the late 19th century when renowned American philosopher Elbert Hubbard believed people failed, not because they lacked intelligence or courage, but because they did not direct their energies towards specific goals.
Today, the thriving self help and personal growth industry still revolves around being clear about what you want and the universe delivering (think the Law of Attraction and frameworks such as SMART – Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic and Time-framed goals).
THE ART OF REVERSE ENGINEERING… Knowing what you don’t want!
The problem is nowhere in this approach does it take into account what we DON’T want.
SMART goals are future oriented, based on things we haven’t currently got. Sometimes, we can only imagine what we want only after we get there because we have no previous frame of reference, no real life experience to count on.
When life is filled with chaos or crisis, a future-based framework may not be very useful. You might have no idea what a “better life” looks like, so what exactly do you aim for? Or maybe you’re overwhelmed trying to cope with your current scenario.
The great news is that change doesn’t have to be something that happens when you’re in crisis. It can be made consciously and easily once you know how, without spending thousands of dollars on therapy or self-help programs.
