Don’t give up on yourself:
When the Finish Line Moves: Resilience Lessons from an Unexpected Journey
My memoir about my journey with epilepsy is NOW AVAILABLE!
“Through her powerful storytelling, she not only raises vital public awareness but also offers hope and encouragement to others navigating life with seizures.”
Stacia Kalinoski is an author,
speaker, and
award-winning journalist.
The TV news career Stacia loved ended suddenly due to a seizure she had no control over. The aftermath made one thing clear: brain surgery was her only chance to retake control of her life, and she was willing to accept the risks. Stacia tapped into the determination and perseverance she developed as a reporter and marathoner, and now she’s helping audiences do the same.
Surgery inspired Stacia to create the award-winning documentary Brainstorm, as well as her new memoir Racing Uphill: Confronting a Life with Epilepsy. Now she's sharing her story of resiliency and equips audiences with the tools to do the same. Stacia shares that resilience isn’t just bouncing back from difficult moments; it’s finding the courage to change course, reinforced in her mantra:
Don’t Give Up On Yourself.
“Stacia’s emotion and power sparks a passion in all of those listening.”
— American Association of Neuroscience Nurses
