Career Challenges: Burnout, Loss of Passion
Research shows that 87% of professionals report not having a fulfilling career, with nearly all wanted to do something else in the next year. “Career burnout” numbers are up 64% since the start of COVID.
Mental health short-term leave is at the highest level ever recorded.
When we are not connected to our calling, we do “work that is misaligned with our values and purpose. Then our days are filled with sustained overwork and high pressure. Finally, as technology brings changes to our careers, we start to lack control and autonomy.
Eventually, we find ourselves exhausted, unmotivated, unhealthy, and asking "Is this it? Is this my life?”
Does this ring true to you?
If you are left empty (emotionally, spiritually, mentally, physically) during your “work”, why are you not taking control before you lose control?
Burnout and silent quitting are avoidable and can be fixed. To do so, we focus on:
Passion Alignment
Prioritizing Recovery and endurance
Leveraging Curiosity into Growth
Reframing your Mindset
Establishing a Support Network
Health is a state of the body. Wealth is the state of the bank account. Wellness is a state of being.

Why does personalized coaching matter?
Research and experience has shown me that a one-size-fits-all coaching rarely leads to true growth and transformation. With my personalized coaching, I meet you where you are, challenge your unique barriers and unlock the specific strategies and develop skills that align with YOUR goals and strengths.
It all begins with YOU.
You are worth the investment of coaching, and that investment will make all the difference.
As Brene Brown says: ‘If checklists and “box checking” worked, our society would not be the unhealthiest, most indebt and “silent quitting” are we are now.”

The Philosophy Behind Graceful Emergence: Empowering Career Changes
My journey is not linear, but there is a red thread: realizing human potential, servant leadership and serving others. I have coached hundreds of professionals into better careers or to blaze a new path into something more fulfilling. I have mentored just as many into new job opportunities that have not just served their careers, but their lives!
I have navigated career shifts and significant life earthquakes. I read the books, took the cheap “how-to courses” and saw little changes. Nothing worked until I began working with trained coaches that focused me on my career, my healing, and my wellness.
From them and by spending nearly 4 years in an accredited coaching university, I have learned the skills, developed the tools, and mastered the practice of coaching.
Why am I a great coach? I know how to ask the right questions, keep the proper focus, and be accountable in a world without accountability. I have the experience, training, credentials, passion, and knowledge to do what I do exceptionally well.
Time wasted rationalizing the mediocre could be time spent creating the magnificent. -Jen Sincero
Stacey Simms’ Journey: What Did I Learn (so far) in my life?
I learned self-compassion, felt grace, focused on healing in an unhealthy society, and co-facilitated transformation with great mentors, coaches, and therapists.
I discovered no gurus, self-help books, or shortcuts to success. I had to do “the work” for myself and on myself to develop myself.
I also learned that I am a healer and facilitator of growth. I have dedicated years of formal study to becoming a coach, a healer, and a great human.
I am grateful for my journey and for emerging each day with more passion, health, and wealth than before.
