I’m sure many of you wonder how to stay true to your desires no matter what life hands you. And my answer is to declare those desires, not dismiss them! Now it is more imperative than ever to live with unapologetic authenticity in every facet of life. And yes, that certainly includes business! When creating and sustaining a livelihood, you’re not just looking for an income— you’re craving a source of freedom. And you want it to deeply align with your crucial values, the dream-worthy vision… everything that ignites the vibrant fire in your belly.

“I had no business. I did sales, I did marketing. I had business acumen, but not my own. I’d never created my own business. So I was like a sponge. I just listened. I didn’t come thinking I knew everything. And it was also about who do I want to be as a business woman and to be unapologetic, you [Emily Williams] were the first person that I’d ever heard use the word unapologetic and new normal. And those phrases resonated with my soul and I thought, wow, actually, what type of business woman do I want to be? What type of coach, you know, what does it even entail? And so everything, like I said, everything in the course, I was just absorbing.” — Stacey Sargison

It’s time you stop feeling bad or question the importance of your dreams, and instead stay true to your desires. That strong want for things to come into fruition is important, because you know deep down it has the power to alter your life’s course. New places, opportunities, meaningful connections… everything that we all dream of having, including Stacey Sargison.

I had the pleasure of working with Stacey back in 2015 when she enrolled in one of my first courses. It was designed to guide you on making $6K in a span of ninety days, and Stacey was surely feeling the pressure of her shifts. But once she started to accept that her luxurious desires & love for travel were nothing short of worthwhile (and possible), she called in client after client. Now, Stacey is a world-renowned Coach and a master at facilitating instant transformational experiences! It’s her mission to show you (and others) how to stay true to your desires and what great opportunity comes from it!

I am ecstatic to welcome Stacey Sargison onto this week’s IHML Show episode. She never fails to show up with zest, brutal honesty, and inspiring self-reflection! Together we talk about how to stay true to your desires, Stacey’s personal journey, and what makes a transformative shift!

Stacey (and I) are here to remind you that there’s nothing wrong with feeling confident in your desires— and more importantly, yourself. So stay true to your desires, show up with unapologetic authenticity, and live a life that feels too good to be true!

“If you’re just out the gate [with your business], then you’ve got to kind of move into it and feed into it and use your own language and go move through your confidence. So a lot of it for me wasn’t really confidence in showing up right now, I have no problem with that. But it was confidence in not one and not being somebody else. It was really stepping into not just what type of business owner, what do I want to be, but what type of woman, how do I want to show up?” — Stacey Sargison

“As a recovering people pleaser, that [owning my identity] was the biggest thing for me was to really publicly declare the type of life that I desire and go out with Gusto and believe that this isn’t just some nice, expensive hobby.” — Stacey Sargison

“If people are watching me and looking for me for guidance, then I have to be the example myself.” — Stacey Sargison

“I had to have the fire in my belly to prove to other people, most of all, myself, that I could do it again.” — Stacey Sargison

“And I am so grateful that I carried on and didn’t give up when it really looked like what the hell was going to come from this. I just had faith that you have the desire for a reason. You [Emily] taught me that you have the desire for a reason, trust it, because it really will have your back in moments where I really thought it didn’t. It was actually my saving grace and it stopped me. It helped me come out of a very dark time because the desire was the only thing I had. And so I latched on to it, trusted it, and it brought me here.” — Stacey Sargison

“It’s also the level of trust in yourself for what you’re actually putting out into the world and honoring that at the level in which you want to honor it at.” — Stacey Sargison

“Stop listening to people whose lives you’re not inspired by like, just cool. You do you right now. Focus, watch people who are doing things that you’re excited by. Stop taking advice from people who are boring. I know that sounds harsh, but love and light.” — Stacey Sargison
