Stacia Kalinoski

You can’t be resilient if you haven’t been through a storm, or the word wouldn’t exist. A seizure turned Stacia's life upside down, but she would later realize that low point would have an upside. It led to brain surgery and the PBS documentary "Brainstorm." Now she’s sharing her story of resiliency — how she battled epilepsy and got through the worst day of her life to eventually make the best decision of her life. The audience will learn: • The missing component to “Don’t give up." • How to move past failure and disappointment • How to turn a major setback into a comeback
