Balancing Life and Career: A Story of Inspiration
Stacey Jackson’s journey is about her accomplishments as a musician and her ability to balance her roles as a mother of four, a TV presenter, and an entrepreneur. She acknowledges that finding balance doesn’t happen overnight, especially for new mothers. “It doesn’t happen immediately, when you’re a new mom especially, you’re overwhelmed and tired. But I am a strong believer in looking after yourself and continuing to do as much as possible for yourself because if you are not a happy ‘You,’ I think you will not be able to be a happy mom, partner, friend, co-worker,” she emphasizes. This philosophy of self-care and balance has been integral to her professional and personal success.
Stacey’s positive relationships have played a crucial role in her journey, inspiring many of her songs. Whether it’s the love and support from her family or the encouragement of friends and peers, she believes that these connections are vital to personal growth. She hopes to pass on this wisdom through her music, encouraging women to embrace every part of their lives while chasing their dreams.
Connecting With Her Audience
One aspect that makes Stacey Jackson stand out as a performer is her connection with the audience. “When I’m performing, I try to tell some stories of why I wrote that particular record, or some funny and interesting tidbits of the industry or my journey,” she explains. This storytelling, combined with her infectious energy on stage, draws her audience in, making each performance a shared experience. For Stacey, seeing people sing along to her lyrics and dance to her songs is a deeply fulfilling experience. “It’s such a high when I see people singing my lyrics and dancing to my songs.”
Beyond the music, Stacey is passionate about dancing and the movement’s mental and physical benefits. “I personally love to dance and to move — it’s not just great for you physically, of course, but really great for your mental health. The adrenaline and dopamine hit I get when I hear music, and I’m jumping around is like a drug for me.” Her performances are more than just entertainment; they are moments of shared joy and positivity, helping people feel empowered and uplifted.
