"When I realized that the one thing that I had so heavily identified myself with wasn't all of who I was, that's where things started to crack."

"Anything that you judge and perceive in another person... if you have any reactivity to anything outside of yourself that is over the top or unwarranted, it is your own self belief that's in the way."

"The closer that you get to know yourself, the more rich and deep are the things that you do. It doesn't matter what you're doing - you could be doing nothing, and someone would say, 'that person is deep.' You just ooze it."

In this episode of The Rich Life Recipe, hosts Jason Allan Scott and Alicia Schiro welcome Stacey Roy - an LA-based Canadian actress, producer, entrepreneur, and the first Canadian to win Lego Masters on Fox. Stacey shares her journey from competitive Lego building to hosting Amazon's Cooking with Stacey and The Nerdy Bartender.

• On perseverance: "I was in the bottom two, four times in a row... But every new challenge, I'd say to Nick, 'It's a new day. We get to do this all again. Let's just give it everything we've got'... and then we ended up winning the show."
• On creativity: "I love cooking something that's outrageous... making dill pickle soup, mayonnaise ice cream, building a three-story gingerbread house... just doing things that are wacky and out there."
• On professional identity: "Learn to anchor your identity, not in what you do, but why you do it... my career has gone in so many different directions, but if I know the why deep down, I can probably do anything."
• On mental health: "For mental, physical, emotional health, I think it's having a routine that works for you... setting my intention for the day, figuring out what my to-do list is, and checking back in later."
• On balance: "When it comes to food, drinks and well-being, it's really all about balance. Food brings people together... Same with a nice cocktail or drink - it sparks conversation."

1. Embrace play and experimentation: Try new things without fear of failure
2. Stay authentic to your "why": Focus on your purpose, not just specific activities
3. Challenge yourself daily: Push your boundaries and be open to new experiences
4. Build community: Nurture connections with others and give back
5. Maintain a healthy balance: Structure your day with intention while allowing for flexibility
