Staci Kirk on Surviving Cancer Six Times and Writing Hold On, Sis…Let Me Take My Wig Off

Staci Kirk isn’t just a six-time cancer survivor—she’s a speaker, coach, and author who’s rewriting the narrative for women in healing. With a powerful blend of transparency and tenacity, Kirk has turned her life experiences into purpose-driven work that centers emotional wellness, personal transformation, and spiritual resilience.

Through her nonprofit, the Stiletto Boss Foundation, Kirk provides mentoring, support, and empowerment tools for women and young adults navigating life after trauma or illness. The foundation is built on a simple but radical truth: healing and leadership go hand in hand.

Her debut book, Hold On, Sis…Let Me Take My Wig Off, captures this ethos with raw honesty. More than a memoir, it’s a lifeline for women who’ve been through medical battles, emotional setbacks, or spiritual droughts. Kirk brings her readers into the room with her—from diagnosis to decision-making—offering wisdom wrapped in realness and a few well-timed laughs along the way.

She continues that mission through her coaching programs and speaking engagements, all accessible via her official website. Whether she’s in a room full of survivors or one-on-one with a client, Kirk is known for creating spaces that are honest, sacred, and unapologetically affirming.

As a six-time cancer survivor, her journey is a rare one—but it’s her commitment to helping others rise that makes her work unforgettable. From chemo chairs to conference stages, Staci Kirk is showing women everywhere that survival is just the beginning.
