What Happens When You Ignore DEI in Your Business?

Ignoring DEI isn’t just bad business. It’s expensive. Stacy talks to Stephanie Pimentel, founder of Lumina Global Advisory, who shares a real talk perspective on what exclusion actually does inside a business: high turnover, low performance, and missed growth. She explains why DEI isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s directly tied to whether your business can scale. From investor confidence to operational risk, this conversation breaks down how culture impacts your bottom line long before it shows up in your numbers.

Can You Love Someone and Still Walk Away?

What happens when love isn’t enough to sustain a relationship? Stacy sits down with Robin Ducharme, founder of Real Love Ready and author of the book by the same name, to explore the truth about connection, accountability, and emotional safety. Together, they unpack the skills no one teaches us—how to communicate honestly, take responsibility for our part, and have hard conversations even when they’re uncomfortable. They also dive into what it means to recognize when a relationship is no longer nourishing you, and why not all relationships are meant to be repaired.
