At Detox Desserts, we believe that food is more than just fuel – it’s a tool for healing, self-love, and connection. That’s why I’m excited to share my dear friend and mentor Stacey Barnes’ latest article on BODY Love. Stacey’s incredible journey from struggling with an unhealthy relationship with food as a young professional model to becoming a successful entrepreneur with Goody Twos Toffee Company is a testament to the power of self-awareness and transformation. Through her own personal evolution, she has learned how to honor her body and embrace a new relationship with food, one that nourishes both her body and spirit.
Stacey’s path wasn’t always easy. As a model, she grappled with the pressures of body image and restrictive eating, which led to an unhealthy relationship with food. However, her journey took a pivotal turn when she began working with a therapist, diving into a process of healing that helped her reconnect with her body.
Through this work, Stacey embraced the understanding that food is medicine, not something to be feared or controlled. She transitioned to intuitive eating, listening to her body’s needs without guilt or shame. Along with this shift, she also embraced cooking with whole foods, making sure nutrition played a central role in her daily meals.

As Stacey’s business grew, so did her passion for helping others on their own journeys of self-discovery and healing. This led her to create OnWord Journeys, a coaching service dedicated to helping women explore their inner landscapes through open-hearted curiosity and emotional attunement.
OnWord Journeys offers a welcoming space for women to connect with their heart guidance, transforming their experiences into lessons and opportunities for growth. Stacey’s coaching practice is rooted in self-expression and the power of written and spoken word, which she believes are powerful tools for healing and transformation.

Stacey’s relationship with food has continued to evolve in such a beautiful way. She and her mom have been baking with Detox Desserts’ Sweet Swap ingredients for months, and it’s been an honor to have these two seasoned foodies join us on this journey.
Their support, love, and enthusiasm for nourishing, guilt-free indulgences have been invaluable to the growth of Detox Desserts. Stacey’s story is a true inspiration – a reminder that healing, self-love, and connection with food can transform not just our bodies but our lives.
