Welcome back to Suburban Burnout! In this compelling episode, hosts Megan and Laura sit down with the remarkable Stacey Roney, a serial entrepreneur, having started 7 companies, with an inspiring life story that traverses the realms of business, family, and resilience.
Stacey's narrative is one of courage and tenacity, beginning with her upbringing as a true midwestern girl in Wisconsin. Her journey into the beauty industry commenced as a Nordstrom buying agent in Chicago, where she astutely identified gaps in the market. Fueled by entrepreneurial spirit, she founded Beauty on Call, a pioneering beauty staffing agency, all while raising 3 young children, including twins, under the age of 2. But life threw its curveballs as Stacey navigated managing her burgeoning business and the challenges of motherhood. Amidst the turmoil of a housing market crash impacting her husband's business, Stacey found solace and success in beauty marketing with Rodan + Fields, ultimately surpassing his earnings with sheer determination and hard work.
Stacey's true passion lies in helping entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses. Stacey's wisdom for aspiring entrepreneurs resonates deeply: seize the moment, start now, and adapt along the way. Her ethos centers not on self-interest but on serving others, echoing Gary Vaynerchuk's philosophy of giving value before expecting returns.
Transitioning to a new chapter in Austin, Texas, Stacey faced the daunting task of supporting her oldest daughter, Charlotte, through profound mental health challenges exacerbated by isolation and bullying. Charlotte's journey from exhibiting symptoms of OCD to reaching a point of despair underscores the importance of holistic health care. Traditional treatment facilities fell short, but a beacon of hope emerged in a program in Malibu, California, which addressed Charlotte's mental well-being. But Charlotte's underlying gut health issues weren't resolved until they incorporated nutrition and fitness, which was a transformative catalyst for her recovery. The results have been astonishing: a 90-pound weight loss, improved cognitive function, radiant skin, and liberation from anxiety and depression. Charlotte's academic performance soared, illustrating the profound impact of integrative health on overall well-being.
Through all the struggles, Stacey admits that she and her husband grew apart. Despite loving him, she wasn't in love with him. She credits their amicable divorce to their strong foundation of friendship and their shared commitment of maintaining a family bond. They work well together prioritizing what their family needs, even though their living arrangements resemble a real-life episode of "Modern Family". Stacey even lent a helping hand in getting her ex-husband set up on Bumble and jokes that dating in her 50s has been an interesting experience.
Stacey's story is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the power of unwavering support in overcoming adversity. As we navigate our own challenges, let Stacey's journey inspire us to embrace change, prioritize health, and never underestimate the transformative power of love and determination. Join us in celebrating Stacey's indomitable spirit and her enduring commitment to helping others thrive by tuning into this episode of Suburban Burnout.
