"Can I just say that the one event I attended where Stacy Pederson was the key note speaker was AMAZING! She was hilariously funny and poignantly real and deeply touching! I have literally been thinking about the things she spoke about for an entire year!! If you are thinking about hiring her- quit thinking and just do it! You will not regret it! (And by the way, she probably has zero idea of who I am, what event I attended or why the heck I am even writing this. Basically, I am just a person who was blessed by her words and her authenticity. I am not paid or even asked to write a single word of this.- She is just that good!)" ....Trisha Winslow — Trisha Winslow –, Event Attendee -Stacy is one of the best female comedians I have ever seen - she is a thinking persons humorist.

Stacy Pederson's stand up comedy and outlook on life began with a diagnosis of a terminal illness with her first husband. Stacy began a difficult journey fraught with failure—including a failed marriage, single parenting, job loss, broken dreams, and financial ruin. Then in July of 2011, Stacy stepped on a rusty nail. The simple misstep caused several bouts in the hospital, near death experiences, and surgery with lifelong repercussions. Stacy now has a deep understanding of the universal need we all have for hope, love, joy, and laughter. But wait-There's more! In august 2023, Stacy discovered she was misdiagnosed the entire time. WHAT?!! She has a rare bacteria from growing up on raw goat's milk. Yep. True Story. Stacy gives practical tips on improving one's quality of life by learning how to overcome adversity, improve happiness, lowering stress, and dealing with change.
