We had the good fortune of connecting with Stacy Fuerte and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stacy, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
Opportunities and miracles surround us, yet noticing them requires self-awareness and openness. Amidst the uncertainties of entrepreneurship, the urge to control every detail can be overpowering. While planning and execution are vital, remaining open unveils new paths and invaluable lessons. Self-awareness and discernment are crucial; not every opportunity is the right fit. Ground yourself in your core values. Does the opportunity align with your purpose? Harness the power of your environment, both internal and external. Speak your aspirations into existence.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

Modrn Medicin is an Ayurvedic Wellness Brand that will transform your mind, body, and soul. In 2022, we opened San Diego’s first Ayurvedic cafe, a haven where the community can indulge in dosha pacifying herbal lattes, ceremonial grade cacao and specialty coffee. Our workshops and events provide an opportunity to delve deeper into the world of Ayurveda. As visionary founders we also offer personalized consultations and Ayurvedic facials for those seeking care from an Ayurvedic Practitioner. Additionally, we have meticulously crafted a range of Ayurvedic products so that you can heal in the comfort of your own home.

At Ritual Realty, we’re dedicated to transforming every real estate journey into a sacred ceremony. We understand that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction; it’s a profound life transition. Our approach is rooted in mindfulness, empathy, and integrity, aimed at removing the egotistical side of real estate. We prioritize the human connection above all else, guiding our clients with compassion, respect, and maybe reprogramming some self limited beliefs along the way. By infusing each step of the process with intention and reverence, we strive to create a space where trust flourishes, and every client feels valued and supported.

Together, Modrn Medicin and Ritual Realty form a synergy of mindful living and conscious decision-making. I am committed to bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern life, ensuring that wellness and real estate experiences are imbued with authenticity, meaning, and transformation.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

San Diego is great for rest and recalibration. Here is how I would like to spend time with a best friend visiting!

Day 1: I would encourage a slow morning, wake up and immediately go outside, enjoy the morning sun on your face and body. Take a couple breaths and practice gratitude by listing off things you are grateful for. Naturally we would have to visit Modrn Medicin and enjoy one of our ayurvedic herbal lattes or signature coffees- Magic or Mystic with ghee and our delicious pistachio milk for a creamy non-diary latte! Next we would visit the local market in Kensington, Stehly Farms to pick up some fresh pressed juice, lunch, and snacks to enjoy at Balboa Park- picnic style! In the evening, we would head to A Deep Space for a hypnotic sound bath or breathwork with Lindsay or Molly.

Day 2: Take a heated yoga class at Yoga Box and visit Maya Moon Collective again to try a cacao this time. My favorite is the aphrodisiac with the house made honey marshmallows. From there we would spend the day on a boat around the Embarcadero and then catch Happy Hour and sunset at C level. To end the night we would meet with Seya for Reiki Sessions.

Day 3: We would head north and hike Torrey Pines and enjoy lunch at Parakeet Cafe in One Pase and no trip to One Paseo is complete without a visit to Pigment. One of my favorite things is sunsets so we are squeezing another one in at Gliders Port or Torrey Pines. For dinner we would create an Ayurvedic dinner at home followed by at home shamanic massages with Jungle and yoni steams.

Day 4: We would have to visit the iconic La Jolla area and kayak the La Jolla Caves. To follow, we would enjoy lunch at Trilogy followed by a yoga class and a private dinner made by Chef Perla of Elevation Eating.

Day 5: Take the pup on a walk along the Embarcadero and Seaport Village then prepare to eat and drink all day. Little Italy Farmers Market, drinks and snacks at Ironside, Lunch at Isola, Spa treatments with Carlee or Vanessa at The Switch Suites, and dinner at Herb and Wood, before experiencing nightlife in Little Italy!

Day 6: Catch a Padres Game at Petco Park followed by a night at Moonshine Flats.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?

I love the African Proverb “If you want to go somewhere fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” because I am in it for the long haul and I am taking all my people with me!

To my family, Mom, Dad, Ate (older sister), and Kuya (older brother) thank you for your unconditional love and support throughout my life and career. Not once did I ever feel like you doubted me and my decisions and that’s what gave me the confidence to take risks throughout this entrepreneurial journey. To my nieces, god daughters and nephew Kaia, Capri, London, Lana, Analiese, and Kalel you inspire me to keep going. I want to make sure you are shown a reality where anything and everything is possible especially if it’s unconventional.

Amore and Molly, thank you for creating, dreaming, expanding, and healing with me.

Lisa, thank you for sharing our vision and allowing me to walk alongside you as we turn every real estate journey into a ceremony. May we inspire change and bring more mindfulness into the real estate industry.

To all my teachers, mentors, and healers throughout the years. Thank you for helping me get out of my own way and remember who I truly am.

To all my clients and customers who have trusted me with your real estate investments, healing, or daily nourishment THANK YOU. You are the reason I get to live out my life purpose, and I am forever grateful for you.

Lastly, to my inner child, baby Stacy. Thank you for showing up even when we were lost and afraid- I got you now.
