I'm a 25-year corporate wellness executive turned flower farmer, writer, workshop curator and public speaker, sharing my personal journey and template for happiness and healing.
When my 39-year old husband was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer, everything changed.
During a particularly challenging time in my life, it was my connection to nature and daily writing practice that helped me stay grounded and move forward. I share these practical tools and micro-strategies with teams across the country to support emotional well-being, strengthen communication, and foster resilience in the workplace.
Hey, I'm Stacie!
Welcome to the Collective!

"this workshop brought me so much joy, new ideas, and community.”
a necessary pattern interrupt for any industry
- Megan G.
Stacie has dedicated her career to mental health and wellness education and strategy, teaching and speaking across diverse industries like tech, finance, manufacturing, construction, education, healthcare, defense and more.
After 20 years in the boardroom, Stacie traded her blazer for bibs, and she’s reimagining mental health from the ground up
After navigating her own mental health journey as a caregiver, she created a hands-on activation that puts a fresh spin on what mental health can look and feel like, starting with communication with self at a deeper level.
introducing...
Whether she’s guiding a group of executives to connect through a flower workshop or hosting her signature Private Writers Collective, Stacie weaves together ritual, reflection, and creative tools that move people forward. Her work lives at the intersection of strategy, growth, and nature. She invites every participant to show up fully, and leave more grounded and inspired than they arrived.
Whether you choose an onsite or virtual activation, all employees will receive a welcome writers kit. This includes a botanical notebook, writing utensil, and leave behind flower seeds that serve as both a writing prompt for the session as well as a 'start your own garden' leave behind.
Drawing from her “Happiness & Healing” keynote presentation, participants will move through exploring their own resilience, creativity, and emotional intelligence through guided writing and interactive team building focused on connection & growth.

Once the introduction of writing has been established, employees tend to 'want more' writing prompts and reflective time.
This feedback has inspired Stacie to lead follow up virtual sessions to continue the work together, typically offered in a 3 bundle package.
Available upon request.
Optional: Virtual Follow Up Series

For onsite workshops, employees will move through a tactile flower-arranging experience designed to spark creativity, personal insights, and a deeper team connection. Stacie’s superpower is curating large-scale hands on workshops, encouraging others to develop from the inside out; creatively, courageously, and in community.

"I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I RECOMMEND STACIE’S WRITING COHORT EXPERIENCE.
Although I've always considered myself a writer, I have been finding it more an enjoyable part of my creative practice and hoped it would broaden my range. What I didn't expect, and was pleasantly surprised by, was the immediate support of our diverse group, who encouraged one another, with Stacie at the helm. I found a fresh voice."

"I HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING PART OF STACIE’S WRITERS COLLECTIVE.
I’m not a writer. Is the Private Writers Collective for me?
If your first thought is "I’m not a writer," you’re in exactly the right place. Most people begin with that same hesitation. This 8-week experience isn’t about polished prose, it’s about personal storytelling, self-reflection, and surprising discoveries that emerge when pen meets paper. Think of the Collective as a warm-up or creative prelude to a more traditional writing course with plenty of room for your voice to unfold.
Frequently Asked Questions

Of course, send me an email at stacie@hellomarigoldcollective.com and I’m happy to provide a refund.
Can I gift someone else the experience of the Collective, even if the timing isn’t right for me?
