The Stacy M Show

I know this might sound unexpected… but I don’t say “f*ck you” to cancer. And this episode explains why. In this episode of The StacyM Show, I share a very real and very personal reflection on language, healing, and what it means to live inside a body that hasn’t betrayed you, even when you’re facing something as confronting as cancer. We talk a lot about “fighting” illness. About battles, wars, winning and losing. But for me, that language stopped sitting right. Cancer didn’t arrive as some outside enemy. It arrived in my body. The same body that has carried me, held everyone else together, and kept going for forty three years. This episode is about choosing awareness over rage, responsibility over blame, and learning to actually listen to your body before it has to scream. It’s not about toxic positivity. It’s not about thinking your way out of illness. It’s about how I’m choosing to respond to this diagnosis and what it’s forced me to finally prioritise. In This Episode, You’ll Learn • Why war language around illness can be more damaging than empowering • How separating yourself from your body can impact healing • The difference between knowing something intellectually and actually living it • Why my health no longer gets to sit at the bottom of my list • What choosing rest, boundaries, and softness really looks like in practice If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it, especially carers or anyone navigating illness right now. If you’re ready to start prioritising yourself properly, you can book a call or explore more support via my website. 👉 Visit: www.stacymunzenberger.com  And if you haven’t already, make sure you’re booked in for any overdue checkups. Please don’t put it off. “My body hasn’t betrayed me.

If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, constantly “busy” and telling everyone you’re fine… this episode might hit a little too close to home. In this real, unfiltered episode of The StacyM Show, I’m joined by leadership and business coach AJ, someone who’s been part of my business journey for over a decade. Together, we unpack burnout. Not the buzzword version, but the slow, sneaky kind that shows up as losing your voice, getting sick all the time, snapping at people you love, or feeling permanently switched on. We talk about how burnout has become normalised, why hustle culture keeps us stuck, how the body keeps score whether we listen or not, and what small, realistic shifts can help before your body forces you to stop. No toxic positivity. No “just do more self-care” rubbish. Just honest conversation, lived experience, and practical perspective. In This Episode, You’ll Learn Why burnout is not a personal failure but a system and lifestyle issue The early warning signs your body gives long before total burnout How constant busyness and hustle culture quietly erode your health Simple micro-shifts that help regulate stress without overhauling your life How to set boundaries without guilt or feeling like the bad guy If this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs permission to slow down.If you’re ready to rethink how you do life, business or separation support, book a call or explore resources at  www.stacymunzenberger.com  About AJ: In nature, nothing thrives alone.

Ever feel like the relationship ended… but somehow the control didn’t? This episode is for anyone who has escaped a toxic relationship, only to find the manipulation continues through the legal system, threats, or constant mind games. Episode Summary In this powerful and deeply honest episode of The StacyM Show, Stacy is joined by digital marketing founder and podcast host Phoebe Lay to talk about narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, and how court processes can be weaponised as a tool of ongoing control. Phoebe bravely shares her lived experience of a love-bombed beginning, subtle manipulation, and the long, exhausting aftermath that followed. Together, Stacy and Phoebe unpack why leaving is so hard, why court is not always the empowering solution people think it is, and how healing often begins when you stop fighting and start choosing yourself. This is not about blaming men or women. It is about recognising manipulation, protecting your energy, and understanding when walking away is actually the strongest move you can make. What You’ll Learn Why narcissistic and toxic partners often use court as a control tactic How love bombing turns into addiction and self-doubt When legal action helps and when it keeps you stuck Why “letting them think they’ve won” can be the real win The power of trauma-informed healing tools like EMDR, hypnotherapy, and somatic work If you keep fighting, you may still be giving them what they want. Your energy, your attention, your time. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop engaging and start living.

Okay, real talk—this is not the kind of topic you bring up over Sunday brunch… but honestly, it probably should be. In today’s episode, we’re diving into binding death nominations—what they are, why they matter, and how they can save your family from arguments, delays, and a whole lot of stress down the track. Most people assume their will covers everything. Spoiler: it doesn’t. Your super sits outside your estate unless you specifically tell it otherwise—and if you don’t? Well… let’s just say some people have accidentally left hundreds of thousands of dollars to their ex without knowing it. Grab a cuppa, settle in, and let’s make sure that’s not you. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: What a binding death nomination actually is (in plain English) The difference between binding, non-binding, and non-lapsing nominations Who you can legally nominate—and who you can’t Why this is crucial if you’re separated, in a blended family, or mid-divorce The simple steps to get your nomination sorted (without the overwhelm) Want Support Through Separation or Estate Planning?

Do you know what really explodes in January? Not gym memberships. Not green juice sales. My inbox. Every year, people come out of the Christmas chaos and finally admit to themselves: “This relationship isn’t working — now what?” If that’s you, take a breath (a real one, not whatever weird inhale I attempted in this recording). You’re not alone — and in this episode, I walk you through the exact first steps to take when you’re thinking about separation, without overwhelm, panic Googling, or blowing thousands in legal fees. What You’ll Learn The real reason January is famously called “Divorce Month” — and why it’s not something to fear. The brain dump exercise that gives you clarity, direction, and emotional grounding before you speak to anyone. The exact financial documents you need to gather to save $$$ on legal costs. Why court is not your only option — and often not the best one. How to prepare for the separation conversation (even if it feels terrifying).

If you think leaving everything to your kids at 18 is a great idea… you might want to sit down for this one.

What if you couldn’t speak for yourself… who would make your medical decisions? Spoiler alert: it might not be who you think — and it could cause a family war you never saw coming. In this week’s episode, Stacy breaks down one of the most overlooked legal documents in Australia — the Enduring Guardian. It’s the thing that decides who speaks for you if you lose capacity. Whether it’s from an accident, illness, or just the curveballs life throws, not having one in place can lead to chaos, heartbreak, and sometimes even court battles. Stacy keeps it real (and a little cheeky) as she shares true-to-life stories, unpacks what happens when you don’t have an Enduring Guardian, and walks you through how to protect yourself and your loved ones — no legal jargon, just straight talk. You’ll Learn: What an Enduring Guardian actually is (and how it’s different from a Power of Attorney) Real-life examples of what can go wrong when you don’t have one How to choose the right person to make your health and lifestyle decisions The key steps to appointing an Enduring Guardian in NSW Why this is extra important if you’re separated, divorced, or thinking about it If you don’t have an Enduring Guardian, now’s the time to sort it.

Ever feel like you're “behind” because you only run one business? Meanwhile some guy online is screaming about his 9-figure empire and 80 “businesses"... and you're just trying to finish your coffee before school pickup? Yeah. I'm calling BS. Today, we're stripping the filters off hustle culture and talking real profit, real focus, and real life — not the Instagram performance version. If you’ve ever felt less-than because you're not juggling five brands, a personal coaching empire, and a goat farm on the side — breathe. You don’t need multiple businesses, 4 hours of sleep, or a fake “9-figure mindset” to be successful. In this episode, I’m breaking down the toxic “serial entrepreneur” narrative, why it’s messing with your head (and your bank account), and the truth about what success actually looks like. Spoiler: It’s profit, peace, and being present for your life — not burning out trying to look impressive on LinkedIn. Let’s talk numbers, sanity, kids, real-life priorities, and why focus beats flex — every single time. What You’ll Learn You will walk away with clarity around: Why “multiple business” culture is mostly marketing hype The difference between revenue flexing and real profit How spreading yourself thin kills growth (and joy) The mindset shift that brings more peace and profit How to define YOUR version of success — not Instagram’s   Loved this episode?

In this powerful chat, Stacy sits down with Sammi Jaeger, relationship coach and podcast host, to talk about what really happens before couples reach the breaking point.

Let’s be honest — family law isn’t just about legal jargon and paperwork. It’s emotional. It’s messy. And some days, it feels like your nervous system has clocked in for a full-time job. If you’ve ever gone from “I’ve got this” to crying over coffee after receiving a lawyer’s email, then this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m stripping back the BS and talking about the real emotional rollercoaster that comes with separation, property settlement, and parenting matters — and how to ride the wave without losing yourself in the storm. What You’ll Learn: How to name and acknowledge your emotions (without judging yourself for them). Simple nervous system resets you can do right now — no marathon required. Why isolating yourself makes it harder (and how to actually get support). The power of remembering that emotions are temporary — but your decisions are lasting.

Let’s be honest — parenting (and partnering) while navigating ADHD is not for the faint-hearted. It’s beautiful. It’s messy. And sometimes it feels like you’re trying to brush a crocodile’s teeth before school.  This week, I sat down with Sharon Collon, ADHD coach, consultant, and mum, to talk about what actually makes family life functional when ADHD is part of the picture. (Hint: it’s not being more “perfect.” It’s creating systems that have your back when things fall apart.) In this episode, you’ll learn: Why setting up “fallback systems” matters more than waiting for the perfect day to arrive. How to spot friction points in your family life — and build scaffolding around them. Real-world strategies for parties, sleepovers, and sensory overwhelm (no sugarcoating here). How emotional regulation, shared systems, and laughter can save your relationship. Why trying differently (not harder) is the key to supporting neurodivergent kids and yourself. If this episode gave you that “oh my god, same” feeling, share it with another parent, tag us on socials, or book a call to get the support your family deserves. Because none of us should have to do this alone. “We don’t build systems for perfect days — we build them for the messy ones that need saving.” Follow Stacy on Socials Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stacymunzenberger Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/heystacym Website -  https://www.stacymunzenberger.com   About Sharon Sharon is an award-winning, credentialed family trained ADHD Coach, Consultant and Parenting Expert and founder of The Functional Family, who specialises in providing life-changing support and strategies for people with ADHD (and those that support them). Sharon lives in Sydney with her husband and 3 boys, who all have ADHD (throw in some tourette’s, OCD, SPD and ODD in there too). Her home runs at such an intensity – it needs to be filmed for a documentary series. The daily stress burnt her out, and it had a negative impact on Sharon’s health. At a complete loss of how she was supposed to have a ‘Functional Family, ’ she began researching ADHD to try and learn more about ways to work with the ADHD brain and create a more joyful, streamlined home environment. What followed was a series of spectacular failures, weird experiments, and then a formal study of ADHD. Through it all, the Collon family found a way to make their life with ADHD work for them. Now Sharon helps others do the same. The Functional Family has supported over 35,000 families with ADHD. Whether it be through Adult ADHD Coaching, Parent Mentoring, the ADHD Families Membership, the 6-week program or the ADHD Families Podcast, she provides a safe place for people with ADHD to learn about their brain and create strategies that work for them.

Your mum just had a stroke. She can’t speak, can’t sign documents, and you — her devoted child — legally can’t access her bank account to pay her bills. The power’s about to be cut off, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Sound dramatic? It happens to Australian families every single day. About This Episode In this episode, we’re talking about the unsung hero of legal documents — the Power of Attorney. It’s the one thing that could save your family from complete chaos if something unexpected happens, yet most people don’t sort it out until it’s way too late. I’ll walk you through what it actually is, how it works, and why every adult (yes, even you) needs one — yesterday. You’ll Learn: What a Power of Attorney actually does — in plain English, not legal jargon The difference between a general and enduring Power of Attorney (and which one protects you) Who you should and shouldn’t appoint The real-life mess families face when there’s no Power of Attorney in place How to get one sorted without breaking the bank or your brain Don’t wait for a crisis to find out what you should’ve done. 👉 Book a free 15-minute chat with the Aqua Legal & Conveyancing team and get your Power of Attorney sorted today.

What if the only thing standing between you and your next big breakthrough is the word yes? 🎙️ About This Episode While my 13-year-old daughter is out living her best life in Fiji—snorkeling, building houses, and pushing her comfort zones—I had a little reality check. How many opportunities have I been saying no to without even realizing it? And if I’m doing it, chances are, you are too. In this episode of The StacyM Show, I get real about fear, loss aversion, and that sneaky little voice in our head that talks us out of growth. I’ll also share what I call the Fiji Principle—the idea that every yes creates space for the next opportunity, whether it’s in business, relationships, or your personal growth. What You’ll Learn Why your brain is wired to focus on what could go wrong (and how to flip that script). The psychology of saying no—hello, loss aversion! How one “yes” can spark a domino effect of opportunities. Real-life stories from my own journey (yes, including the “holy crap, when do I get paid?” moment). A simple, practical step you can take today to start saying yes to your future. Ready for Your Yes? Life’s not a dress rehearsal, beautiful humans.

Think wills are just for old, rich people with sprawling estates and fancy wine cellars? Think again. In this episode of The StacyM Show, I’m cutting through the excuses and busting the biggest myths about wills. From “I’m too young” to “everything will automatically go to my spouse and kids,” these are the stories and truths I see in my legal practice every single day — and trust me, they can save your family from heartache, stress, and tens of thousands in legal fees. It’s not about being morbid. It’s about being responsible (and a little bit loving). What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why age and wealth have nothing to do with needing a will How even “small stuff” like your phone, super, or digital accounts can cause big headaches without one The messy truth about what actually happens if you die without a will in Australia Why DIY wills can cost your family way more in the long run How a properly prepared will is your final act of care (and peace of mind) for your loved ones Ready to stop making excuses?

Should you fight for the house… or hand over the keys and start fresh? It’s the question so many people face during separation or divorce, and let’s be honest—it’s never just about bricks and mortar. The family home is full of memories, emotions, and (let’s not forget) one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. In this episode, I break down the heart-versus-head dilemma of whether to keep the house or move on. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How to separate the emotional pull from the financial reality. The key questions to ask yourself about affordability, borrowing, and equity. Why keeping the house isn’t always the “safe” option (and when it can be).

Picking the wrong lawyer is like picking the wrong hairdresser—you’ll pay too much, cry in the chair, and regret it for months. Let’s not do that. In this episode, I’m breaking down what really matters when choosing a lawyer for your separation. Spoiler alert: it’s not who’s got the flashiest website or the biggest billboard. It’s about finding someone who actually gets it—your situation, your goals, and your sanity. I’ll share what to look for, what to avoid, and how to trust your gut so you don’t end up with more stress than you started with. What You’ll Learn: The top red flags when hiring a lawyer (and why you should run, not walk). Why “big promises” often equal big letdowns. How to spot a lawyer who genuinely understands family law and you. Simple steps to feel confident in your choice before signing on the dotted line.

Ever had ten “brilliant” ideas before breakfast… but last week’s to-do list is still collecting dust? Yep, that’s the visionary struggle in action. In this episode, I’m diving into the wild (and sometimes exhausting) world of visionaries versus integrators. I share my own messy mix of starting businesses, chasing shiny objects, and learning the hard way why you can’t (and shouldn’t) do it all yourself. Whether you’re the dreamer with half-finished projects or the systems-loving detail person who makes the magic happen, this one’s for you. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The difference between being a visionary and an integrator (and why both matter). Why burnout is a real risk if you try to be everything. Practical tips for starting out without a team (hello, free tools + systems). How to build accountability so your big ideas actually get finished. The mindset shift that frees you up to focus on what you do best. If this episode hit home, don’t keep it to yourself!
