Stop Living By Default. Start Living By Design.

CJ Stasik is a speaker, coach, consultant, and founder of SheHandlesIt. After spending more than two decades climbing the corporate ladder and ultimately serving as CEO of an award-winning digital marketing agency, CJ experienced what she now calls her own Midlife Awakening.


On paper, she had built a successful life. In reality, she found herself burned out, disconnected, and questioning whether the life she had worked so hard to create was actually the life she wanted to live.


That realization changed everything.


Today, CJ speaks to women leaders, professionals, business owners, and individuals navigating transition, helping them recognize the hidden ways they may be living by default rather than by design. Through powerful storytelling, practical insight, and deeply relatable experiences, she challenges audiences to rethink their assumptions about success, purpose, fulfillment, and what it truly means to live an aligned life.


Drawing from her own journey of leadership, burnout, divorce, reinvention, and personal transformation, CJ's message resonates with anyone who has ever felt stuck between the life they have and the life they truly want. Her presentations inspire audiences to challenge limiting beliefs, reconnect with what matters most, and make bold decisions that create lasting change.


Whether delivering a keynote, leading a workshop, facilitating a breakout session, or participating on a panel, CJ creates experiences that are both inspiring and actionable. Audiences leave with more than motivation. They leave with clarity, renewed purpose, and practical tools to move forward with confidence.


CJ is also the author of, The Midlife Awakening: Redefining Success, Love, and Purpose on Your Own Terms.



If your audience is ready to stop living on autopilot, redefine success for themselves, and build lives that feel as good as they look, CJ delivers a message that sparks reflection, courage, and meaningful transformation.
