Known as “Dr. Sassy,” she’s also the author of “30 Day Blackout,” and the creator of The Mountain Method to help families heal, reconnect, and thrive through creativity, play-based therapy, and digital detox strategies.
Dr. Jagger shares her insights on how excessive screen time is affecting children’s development and mental health. She emphasizes the importance of returning to a natural environment of creativity and connection, advocating for her ’30 Day Blackout’ challenge, which encourages families to disconnect from screens to foster deeper relationships and creativity.

The course is $1000 with the option to work with Stacy or someone on her team as a “Sherpa” guide for another $1500 / 6 session coaching package.
