Publisher's summary

Imperfectly Sane is a message for mothers who don't trust themselves and a voice for the silenced daughters who raise them. It's a raw and explicit account of self-discovery on a journey of daring the world with a whole lot of truth. A young girl with a fierce defense of escapism gives a bird's eye view of the healing transformations one must go through to overcome a hellish past, face our fears, and own the power we possess through it all.

"It's the air you need to breath". 

A mesmerizing and multifaceted stare in the face of trauma, the stories we write about ourselves, and where we can turn for healing, Imperfectly Sane invites the listener to look at collective struggles rarely spoken of from an empowered stance, including but certainly not limited to eating disorders, adultery, addiction, abortion, the karmic roles we play out in our lives, and womanhood, but first, motherhood.

This book is a must read.

I absolutely love this story. It’s awful at times, when you think about living through it, but the ending makes it all worth it. Listen without judgment or anything like prejudice. Just soak it up and let it marinade your writer within in its juiciness.

eloquently written , very poetic and inspiring

This is a great book for the soul seekers, healers and feelers. The writing is magnificent. the author does wonderful things with her words. The entire book reads like poetry.

This book may have just cured me

I have been ‘healing’ and working on myself for a very long time. And I have a library of audiobooks to help me on my path.
But something about this one is different.
Stacey tells her story in a beautifully creative way, and it’s an interesting and page turning story in all the ways that a book needs to be.
But what’s different is when she turns on the lens on how she went from ‘before’ to ‘after’. Her words are unlike any I’ve experienced. I say experienced because I didn’t feel like I was just listening to a book. I really felt it in my body and in the room with me.
Sometimes what she said confused me and that never happens in books ‘like this’. That intrigued me.
I’m about to read it again straight away. But before that, I have to listen the last few chapters again right after writing this.
Because in those chapters she explains a truth I know to be true and I know is what others feel and say also - but the way she says it makes me want to actually get out my journal and run a bath to soak in bubbles, and begin my new life right now. But it’s nighttime.
I couldn’t stop listening until the end! And I have to get ready for bed. So I’m going to listen to the last chapters again while I get ready for bed, and I’ll be SO ready for the morning.
If I could explain what it is that makes this book different to all the others, I don’t know if it would have affected me like this. There’s something new. Something true. But said in a way that makes me feel strong, without feeling scared. Makes me want to do things the things I dream of without worrying about how. And makes me know it’s totally possible. Because I do know. I always have.
Thank you Stacey. For everything. For YouTube, for Facebook, for your website and course and all your teachings. For the ways that you share your amazing insight in your completely unique ways.
I don’t always understand what you say the first time you say it - but I always understand how it makes me feel - and that’s a whole lot better than I felt before!
PS: When I say I don’t understand I’m not saying the book is complicated writing - it’s perfectly written and read by the author - so don’t be put off.
It’s just special, and it’s at a place I’m reaching to be at, and am not quite there yet. But I feel like I will be soon. Or whenever I’m meant to be. Which is and always has been - happy. I’m happy. Without doing any more work.
Maybe already actually...... yeah, I’m happy right now :) Wow
