Stacey St. John is a powerhouse entrepreneur, transformational mentor, and author of LIVE BIG: An Entrepreneur’s Playbook to Boss Up Your Business, Show Up for Yourself, and Step into Your Dream Life. After walking away from a successful career at a global consulting firm, Stacey turned a $50,000 real estate side hustle into a multimillion-dollar portfolio in just two years — proving that the frameworks she teaches aren’t theory, they’re battle-tested.
As a Certified Stagnation Assassin Consultant, Stacey brings a specialized focus on women’s leadership, helping female executives and entrepreneurs shatter the internal and external barriers that keep them playing small. Her work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, strategic planning, and mindset transformation — drawing on research-backed approaches to neuroplasticity, identity reprogramming, and fear-zone navigation to help women rewire how they lead, decide, and show up.
Stacey is the founder of the Female Short-Term Rental Investors Facebook Group — a 60,000+ member community — and host of The STR Sisterhood podcast. Her expertise has been featured in USA Today, CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, and Entrepreneur.com. She created the LIVE BIG Business and Mindset System, the Commit-Be-Do operating framework, and the Garden of Dreams Strategic Planning System, all designed to help women stop hustling and start leading with clarity, courage, and conviction.
Whether she’s coaching C-suite women through the fear zone or teaching entrepreneurs to choose strategy over hustle, Stacey’s mission is singular: kill the stagnation that keeps talented women stuck — and unleash the leaders they were always meant to become.
