Stacie Shifflett: Your Life Is Worth Understanding: How to Live More Consciously
My guest on episode #540 of #thePOZcast, Stacie Schifflet, shares her inspiring journey of reinvention, resilience, and self-discovery. In this episode, she discusses how understanding our emotional patterns, taking intentional action, and embracing change can lead to a joyful, fulfilling life.
Success doesn't automatically prepare you for reinvention. Our guest today knows that better than most. Stacie Shifflett has built companies, led major technology initiatives, acquired a $50 million business, and reinvented herself time and time again. But after her 28-year marriage ended, she discovered the hardest transformation wasn't external—it was internal. Instead of asking, "What's next?" she asked, "Who do I need to become?"
That question became the foundation for Modern Consciousness®, her practical approach to understanding the hidden patterns that shape our decisions, relationships, and happiness. It's also the heart of her bestselling book, Treasure Map to Joy™. Today we're talking about reinvention, resilience, and why the life you're looking for often starts with seeing yourself more clearly.
