Dr. Stacii Jae Johnson

As the relationship expert on OWN’s hit series Put A Ring On It, Dr. Stacii has spent over two decades working at the intersection of emotional intelligence, attachment, identity, and modern relationships. Her work focuses on helping women who are successful in life but misaligned in love understand why traditional relationship advice hasn’t worked — and what actually does. Dr. Stacii is the creator of the Emotionally Safe Love Strategy, a framework that teaches individuals and organizations how emotional safety, healthy communication, boundaries, and self-trust directly impact connection, leadership, performance, and well-being. Her approach is grounded in clinical training, real-world application, and deep emotional insight — making her a powerful voice in both personal and professional development spaces.

She has spoken to audiences across the country at conferences, retreats, corporations, and leadership events, delivering conversations that are honest, relatable, and transformational. As the founder of I Want A Good Man University, Dr. Stacii has helped thousands redefine how they show up in love and in life — shifting from performance-based connection to relationships rooted in clarity, confidence, and emotional security. Whether speaking to women leaders, couples, or organizations, Dr. Stacii creates space for clarity, self-reflection, and lasting change. Her work reminds people that success means nothing if you are emotionally disconnected — and that the safest relationships are built with intention, not performance.

Dr. Stacii Jae began her career in major motion pictures, including the classic A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, before expanding into broadcast as an on-air radio personality at Atlanta’s WVEE-V103. Those early platforms shaped the commanding voice and audience connection that define her today as a trusted media authority and dynamic speaker. Her insights have been featured in Essence, Black Enterprise, NBC, CBS, FOX, BET, and numerous national outlets. With over a decade of clinical and real-world experience, her speaking style is warm, direct, culturally relevant, and deeply transformational. Audiences leave not only inspired — but equipped with the tools to build relationships that thrive personally and professionally.

Dr. Stacii’s work is grounded in clinical training and academic excellence. She holds a Master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy, graduating Valedictorian from Touro University Worldwide, and is a proud alumna of Spelman College. Her contributions to emotional wellness and relationship education have earned her national recognition, including the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award and honors as one of Atlanta’s Top 25 Women. Dr. Stacii reminds audiences of one powerful truth: Success means very little if you are emotionally unsafe in the spaces where you should feel most secure.
