Whose Reflection Do You See in the Mirror?
Do you sometimes wish you could be someone else? Do you wish God had made you prettier, sexier or more popular? Does comparing yourself to other people hold you back from feeling truly free and happy? Our culture lies to us every day and attempts to tear us away from the beautiful vision God has for us. Despite a successful career as a touring Broadway performer, Stacey underwent years of self-image anxiety and comparison culminating in an eating disorder. She will arm you with effective strategies to reclaim your true identity and win the lifelong battle for self-worth.

Self-Worth in the Digital Age
There's no doubt about it: the internet is here to stay. Isolation, depression, and suicide are on the rise in youth and young adults. Comparison, competition, and loneliness are becoming alarmingly prevalent. How do we learn to use the internet without it using us? Where does our worth truly come from? How do we genuinely connect with each other? In this talk, Stacey demonstrates how a "Kingdom mindset" and an intimate relationship with our Creator are the antidote to some of the Western World's biggest problems.

The Universal Feminine Call to Motherhood
Pope St. John Paul the Great wrote, "The moral and spiritual strength of a woman is joined to her awareness that God entrusts the human being to her in a special way." In a society becoming increasingly confused about gender, individualistic, and isolated, women today need formation and encouragement to heroically live their call to self-donation. Stacey elucidates and expands on the teachings contained in Pope St. JP II's Mulieris Dignitatem. Women in all stages and walks of life will learn the four key virtues needed for our universal call to motherhood (whether spiritual, physical, or both,) and how to acquire and live them in today's world.

Ideal for any diocesan, parish, or women's event for women of all ages
