Episode Summary

Ottawa's Stacey Diffin-Lafleur, a skilled and talented marketing and communications specialist , has a lot of opinions and shares them quite freely in this high energy podcast interview.

Episode Notes

Host Sherrilynne Starkie welcomes Stacey Diffin-Lafleur, a skilled and talented marketing and communications specialist, to the 50 Women Over 50 podcast.

This is a special episode because Sherrilynne’s guest is her ‘big’ sister Stacey Diffin-Lafleur, a woman who’s been a profound influence in our host’s life as she observed Stacey stepping into each new phase of life. Sherrilynne first learned about fashion, make up and music (especially David Bowie) from her sister. She modelled how to have a successful marriage. And she demonstrated her unique way of balancing a career and family.

Perhaps not so coincidently, Stacey and Sherrilynne have taken similar career paths. Stacey is an award-winning social and digital marketing pioneer and a talented writer and editor. She’s lived her whole life in Ottawa, raising her sons here and building lifelong friendships that she has held dear through each decade.

Stacey says, “I have a lot of opinions and I share them quite freely! I get involved in a lot of stuff.” And she shares this energy in this interview.
