Ep. 7: Stacy Miller on How to Overcome Perfectionism and Find Your Voice

Laura Garfield Season 1 Episode 7

Stacy Miller isn’t your typical video marketing success story. As an introverted perfectionist and founder of Bayview Financial Planning, Stacy admits that showing up on camera didn’t come naturally. But instead of letting hesitation hold her back, she found her own rhythm—one rooted in authenticity, relevance, and a little reward system to make it easier.

Just one year into embracing video, Stacy has shifted from overthinking to truly connecting, turning vulnerability into a powerful marketing tool.

💡 Here Are 3 of Stacy’s Go-To Video Strategies:

  1. Give Yourself a Reward to Record
    Stacy’s rule: If you’re going to push through discomfort, reward yourself for doing it. Whether it’s a glass of wine, a meditation session, or a quick therapist check-in, having something to look forward to makes hitting “record” a lot easier.
  2. Shoot in Landscape for Flexibility
    One take, many uses. Stacy shoots in landscape so she can crop for vertical platforms like Instagram Reels without losing quality for YouTube or LinkedIn.
  3. Prioritize Relevance Over Perfection
    Timely content wins. Stacy found that reacting to current events—like interest rate news—gets far more engagement than trying to make every video flawless. Realness > polish.

With a year of growth and courage behind her, Stacy is proving that thoughtful, heart-led content has the power to build trust and resonate—no filters required.
