Stacey Chillemi is an award-winning podcast host, 20-time bestselling author, epilepsy advocate and founder of Advisor Global Media.

At age five, an ear infection turned into encephalitis and traveled to her brain. She went into a coma. Doctors told her parents she might never walk again. She survived — but epilepsy stayed. For the next several decades it shaped everything she did, every opportunity she pursued and every obstacle she refused to let define her.

She testified before the United States Congress on disability rights and job discrimination. She co-authored health guidance with neurologist Dr. Orrin Devinsky M.D. in Brain and Life Magazine, the official publication of the American Academy of Neurology. She served as an official spokesperson for Sunovion Pharmaceuticals and the Epilepsy Foundation. She has appeared on ABC, NBC, CBS and five times on The Dr. Oz Show, including a segment alongside Arianna Huffington.

Today she hosts The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi, a podcast reaching more than 1.3 million listeners worldwide, ranked in the top 0.5% of podcasts globally and winner of the NYC Podcast Award for Best Host. She has written more than twenty bestselling books including Epilepsy You Are Not Alone, a guide that remained a bestseller for thirty years, and the children's books My Mommy Has Epilepsy and My Daddy Has Epilepsy, born from a night on the floor with her own children drawing stick figures to help them understand her condition. My Daddy Has Epilepsy was selected as a Goodreads Book of the Month for July 2026.

Through Advisor Global Media, she helps experts, coaches, authors, and entrepreneurs share their stories with the world through done-for-you podcast production, strategic media placement, and full visibility ecosystem management.

She is a proud resident of the Manalapan and Freehold area of New Jersey — and a living example of the philosophy she teaches every day.

You do not get to choose your cards. You only get to choose what you build with them.
