About Me

Hi, I’m Stacie J. Whitaker-Harris—a published author, certified recovery and peer support specialist, mindfulness coach, and artist. My journey has been shaped by over 20 years of writing, storytelling, and community advocacy. From publishing essays and poems as a middle schooler to contributing to university newspapers and appearing in local news, writing has always been my passion.

As a woman of faith with a Master’s in Law (business focus) and a Bachelor’s in Nonprofit Management, I am committed to empowering others through my words, art, and coaching. In 2020, I discovered my love for painting, which began as a form of therapy and blossomed into a creative outlet, with many pieces sold and displayed in local contests. My work reflects a dedication to healing, growth, and honoring the God-given potential in all of us.

What Is *Embracing Me*?

Embracing Me is more than a blog—it's a journey of self-discovery, healing, and honoring the divine within. Here, I share my life experiences—good, bad, and transformative—to inspire and uplift. I spent years hiding my gifts and stories out of fear. But through faith, I’ve chosen to embrace who I am and share my God-given talents with the world.

From essays and poetry to coaching and peer support, my mission is to guide you toward wholeness and inspire you to live fully and freely in harmony with your mind, body, and spirit.

Join the Journey

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, seeking coaching, or simply curious about my books and art, I invite you to explore and connect. Let’s walk this path together toward healing, restoration, and empowerment.

Exactly 4 Months to 50: The 50/50/50 Campaign Begins!

Miles, Milestones, and Memories In Motion

Yesterday, July 24th, marked a powerful turning point: we are exactly four months away from my 50th birthday. 

If you know me, you know this journey has been anything but linear. Doctors once said that I would not live this long. But God had other plans. Every breath I take is proof that purpose always wins. 

So yes, this milestone deserves celebration.
But even more than that, it deserves intention. 

This year, I'm walking into 50 with movement, meaning, and mission.
And, I am inviting you to walk with me. 

Introducing: The 50/50/50 Campaign

A soul-led journey to honor my life and legacy by committing to:

  • Walk/run 50 miles between October 24th and November 24th. 
  • Raise 50,000 to grow my wellness coaching and peer support services (will support scholarships)
  • Celebrate turning 50 on November 24th
  • Honor nearly 100,000 blog views from this amazing community built on love, learning, and healing. 
This isn't just a personal milestone.
This is a collective movement for healing, for legacy, for community impact. 

It's about saying yes to wholeness.
Yes to visibility. 
Yes to transformation one step at a time...LITERALLY!

Join Me for the 50/50/50 Mile Campaign Challenge


Let's walk into healing together between October 24th and November 24th. 
  • Walk or run 50 miles over 30 days (your pace, your path)
  • Post weekly photos or videos of your progress
  • Receive a special keepsake when you finish
  • Know that your $50 registration fee directly supports coaching scholarships for women seeking support on their healing journey. 
This is movement with meaning. A sacred walk of support and shared joy. 

Not a walker? That's okay. Maybe movement looks different for you. You can still be a part of this. Your energy, encouragement, and donations are deeply valued. 


Over the years, so many of you have stood beside me. You've read my words. Shared my journey. Encouraged my growth. Shared your personal stories. 

Now, I'm asking you to stand with me again as I step into this next divine chapter.  

Want to join the challenge or donate?
Email me at GodsGiftLLC@gmail.com and I'll share all the details.
You can also support now via PayPal - Click Here

More updates are coming: early registration, behind-the-scenes moments, and a growing 50/50/50 Community built to support this sacred mission. 

Let's celebrate healing in motion:
Every mile. 
Every memory. 
Every miracle. 

Exactly four months from now, I turn 50. 
And I'd love for you to be part of every step that gets me there. 

Excitedly Yours, 

Stacie J.
