Ep 217 | People Do Want Transformation (Don't Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise)

Author: Stacey Brass-Russell April 1, 2026 Duration: 53:43

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on some real-time stuff I'm working on in my business right now.

One of the things I started this show to do — and what I pride myself on — was to always come in here and tell the truth. To share the real deal of what it's like to grow a business, fulfill your purpose, make things happen, build the life you want, and most importantly — get to do the work you are meant to be doing in the world and get paid for it. I have always been here for the creatives, the coaches, the transformation junkies, the personal growth people — the ones who GET it.

In this episode I'm bringing you up to date on what I've been working on, where I'm headed, and how I'm doing it. I have always been someone who values investing in working with people, experts, getting coached — AND I have had the experience many times that other people's opinions aren't always the right ones for me. As I am in a process of evolving in what I want to be doing and how I want to be showing up, I've been having a lot of conversations — and here's the good news: at my core, I am still here for what I have always been here for. Transformation. It hasn't changed.

Tune in as I walk you through a recent epiphany I had after working with an expert on keynote speaking and core messaging — and how I was reminded of something I have taught on this show and to my clients more times than I can count: you can't be for everyone, and that's okay. I'm doubling down on what I know I am here to do and sticking with my intuition. But I'm also pulling back the curtain on the discomfort and growing pains we inevitably go through every single time we are ready to uplevel — in our businesses, our lives — and what it actually takes to do it.

In this episode, I'm talking about:

  1. What it really means when you start feeling restless, plateaued, or like something needs to shift — and why it's actually the invitation you've been waiting for
  2. Why all growth is uncomfortable — and how to stop making that mean something is wrong
  3. The experience I had working with an outside expert that sent me into a total tailspin of self-doubt — and how I found my way back to myself and what I know to be true
  4. Why evolving does NOT mean burning it all down — and why staying true to the heart of what you do is everything
  5. What it looks like to trust yourself when someone else doesn't get what you do — and how that moment can actually make you more grounded in your purpose than ever
  6. Why personal growth and transformation aren't woo — they are the most real, tangible, legitimate work there is
  7. What transformation really is, why we as human beings are uniquely wired for it, and why I am doubling down on that message no matter what

If you are a coach, teacher, or service-based business owner who knows they are meant for more and is ready to stop making that feeling wrong — this episode is going to hit. The discomfort you feel when you are growing is not a red flag. That's the work. And you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
