Life unfolds fast!
Days and weeks turn into years and decades and your digital library keeps track. Before you know it you’ve got tens of thousands of images. You’ve captured it all, but WHAT now?
Are you doomed to endlessly scrolling?
Do you really want to leave your kids’ jpgs in the cloud?
Pictures and personal stories matter, but HOW are you supposed to know what to do, and WHEN would you have time for that?
Welcome to Live Your Story
I’m Stacy, and I promise you do not need to be crazy creative or have ridiculous amounts of stickers to organize and keep your memories. You don’t even need another app. What you need is community, support, motivation and LOTS of doable ideas. You need a system for organizing and using your photos and you need a guide on the side. That’s me.
Memory keeping in the digital world can be utterly overwhelming, but I’ve got you. I’ve been a student of stories for decades. I’m a master teacher and my enthusiasm is infectious. I help you infuse your story with connection, curiosity and color.
Life is too short for a beige approach to anything. Come along for a more playful, productive and present approach to living life, taking pictures and telling your story.
🧡 You can do this. I will help!

Frequently Asked Questions
How exactly do I join?
Click the “Sign Up” button and select the recurring fee option that works best for you: One year or one month at a time. You’ll be prompted to create an account by entering your name and email, and setting up personal login credentials. You’ll know you’re in, because you’ll receive a purchase receipt and a welcome email.
How do I log in?
Once you have an account, you’ll log in from the main navigation at stacyjulian.com using the password you set up—look for “LOGIN” at the top of the site.
How do I log out?
You will automatically be logged out after a certain length of time.
Can I join if I live in another country?
Of course! That’s the beauty of online connection. We have hundreds of friends who live outside the United States in places like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Brazil. They regularly participate in self-paced classes and live sessions. We live in a big world with many times zones, but we do our best to schedule live sessions at a variety of times, so that all get the chance to attend—plus the live sessions are recorded for convenient viewing at a later time.
If I’m paying monthly, can I only join in January, April, July and October?
You can actually join anytime. Live Your Story content is updated monthly and there are several interactive features that refresh each season or every three months. For this reason we encourage you to experience a full season of content, but we will always do our best to welcome you and prevent unnecessary confusion—any time of year!
How will I pay for my membership?
Unfortunately, you cannot use Apple Pay, PayPal or gift cards to pay for the Live Your Story membership. You may use a credit or debit card. Note: stacyjulian.com uses Stripe services for secure online payment processing.
How will I renew my membership?
Members can view and manage their memberships from their customer account. After logging in, you will click account and then membership. From here you’ll see your start and renewal dates, frequency and fee. You will be able to easily manage your subscription and saved billing information.
How do I cancel my membership?
Log into your customer account, click account and then membership. Click “Cancel subscription” and then click “Cancel subscription” again to confirm. You will not receive a refund for payments already made, but all subsequent payments will be automatically canceled. At the end of your paid cycle, you’ll lose access to the gated content in the Live Your Story area, but you will still have access to your customer account.
How do I change my membership from monthly to yearly and vice versa?
If you decide you’d to make a change to your membership, the first thing you’ll need to do is cancel your current membership. Follow the cancel my membership instructions above and wait until your paid period expires before signing up again. For example, if your monthly membership automatic payment occurs on the first of each month, make sure you cancel prior to that date, AND then wait until after the first to sign up again. That way you can continue to take advantage of the membership during the time period you already paid before prior to switching.
