‘Each year I have a team meeting with my agent and everyone on the team to say, “What’s your plan, what’s your goals, blah, blah, blah”,’ she explained.
‘And this year when they asked me my five-year goals, I was like “I want to be a stay-at-home mum”.
‘That is like my dream, my ultimate dream. I just want to be with my kids.’
She added: ‘I mean it is conflicting, because I also want to fulfil my dreams and my goals and the things that I’m passionate about, because if I don’t have that, will I feel unfulfilled?
Stacey went on to share that what she was currently trying to do was ‘make sure everything that I work on I can work on 90% of the time at home’.
‘And then just do passion projects outside of the house, and then try and be around for them more.’
