Biography

Stacia Love brings a rare combination of bold presence, emotional depth, and grounded insight to the stage. She doesn’t just speak about reinvention; she’s lived it.

The former CEO of SmartyPits, a multimillion-dollar natural deodorant company, Stacia has experienced the collapse of a business in a post-COVID economy, navigated the subsequent personal bankruptcy and loss of her home, and a breast cancer diagnosis that reshaped her relationship with her body and identity.

With over two decades of experience on stage, she now speaks about what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan—and how we rebuild anyway.

Her work challenges the idea that we have to “bounce back,” offering instead a new path: reconstruction. One that makes space for grief, honors what was lost, and opens the door to a future that may look different—but can still feel deeply meaningful, powerful, and alive.

Passion

Stacia's work centers on helping people navigate “threshold moments”—those unexpected turning points that disrupt identity and demand a new way of becoming.
Through her signature message on reconstruction, Stacia invites audiences to hold compassion for what was lost while creating space for who they are becoming—without rushing the process or abandoning themselves along the way.
