In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with florist, creator, and curator Stacey Hartley to explore her personal journey through mental health and the challenges of performance anxiety. Stacey opens up about the pivotal life shifts that guided her away from a once-beloved career and toward a more intentional path rooted in creativity and healing. With grace and vulnerability, she shares how anxiety shaped her day-to-day life—and how she learned to navigate it without letting it define her.

Stacey embraced a simple but powerful mantra: just say yes. That shift led her to discover new rhythms of joy—like her daily, non-negotiable walks, which end at a soul-nourishing choir practice, run by Wellbeing with Manny favourite and Series 2 guest Cat Ogden. Singing once brought anxiety; now it brings freedom.

Stacey generously shares how reclaiming joy through creativity, nature, and community helped her bloom again. A tender reminder that healing isn’t always loud, but it’s deeply felt.

Join us as Stacey weaves beauty, purpose, and connection into every petal of life. This episode is a gentle reminder that growth often blooms in unexpected places.

Stacey, you’re a joy—thank you for gracing the podcast with your presence. May your journey continue to blossom beautifully – that's enough of the flower puns don’t you think?!!!
