Stacy's Story One Red Lipstick

    • Personal Journals

After learning about her son's Autism diagnosis in 2008, she was overwhelmed by the questions that were running through her mind at that time.  What was Autism? What will his future look like? How does she fix it?  It was that last question that kept her glued to the computer researching Autism.  She didn’t sleep or eat for days as she read website after website to learn as much as she could about Autism and how to help her son.

She then pulled herself together and went into action mode.

Action mode meant leaving her corporate job.  Sad to leave, but needing to get her son from this appointment to that appointment and back to this therapy and that therapy.  It was a hectic time.  And needless to say, money was not abundant considering she wasn’t working.  So, she had to take action on that too.  No one would hire her with the hours she had to keep, so she needed to start her own business.  Being an entrepreneur was always something she wanted to be, but didn’t expect it would happen in this way.
