Building a Business That Bends Around You- Not the Other Way Around (Close-Up with Lacey)
Release Date: 10/22/2025

This session with Molly starts with processing all of the change she’s feeling and what it looks like to intentionally coach someone through the question of “Am I just handling more or is it actually too much?” From there, we get into the renewal pricing shift I’m recommending, how to confidently go for more after burnout, and where ManyChat fits into her upcoming launch. It’s a conversation about making the right shifts at the right time so you can find real clarity and consistent momentum again. In this episode, you’ll hear: • The actual work of coaching that we should be...

This session is such a great reminder that business is rarely black and white, but is actually full of nuance and “both/and” moments. From politics to freebies to frameworks that actually work, Molly & I dig into what it means to hold space for multiple truths at once. We also talk about the tendency women have to question our expertise, the power of problem awareness, and how to navigate seasons of business when you’re shifting from coasting to pursuing more specific goals. We even get into the practical realities of leaning into best practices/strategy while still prioritizing your...

This session takes us into the complexities of running a business while holding everything else life throws at us. From needing an income runway, to online pressure, to the weight of social and political news (and the pressure to talk about it online), we talk about the duality that CEOs carry daily. This is an honest, grounding conversation about permission, perspective, and creating a business that supports you (without taking too much from you). In this episode, you’ll hear: • When to break the "focus on one thing" rule in business • The magic of running a beta cohort live (and...

Too often we’re told there’s a “right” way to build a business, or a “right” version of ourselves we have to become in order to succeed. But the truth is, the most successful CEOs don’t force themselves to fit into their business… they build a business that bends around them. In this solo episode, I share the five strategic shifts that allow you to design your business around your strengths, your life, and your season. We’ll talk about what this looks like for Molly, why so many women already know what they need but don’t give themselves permission to claim it, and how you...

Business isn’t black and white no matter how much we want it to be. It’s full of nuance, paradox, and both/and moments. In this solo episode, I dig into the foundation of what makes coaching and strategy effective: the ability to hold multiple truths at once. From the realities of data and best practices, to the messy context of being human, leading, and navigating real external circumstances, and why the answers are rarely “all mindset” or “all strategy.” This episode is about how to lean into nuance, use it to your advantage, and build a business that actually reflects your life,...

This session is about the moments where it feels like things have hit a wall... whether that's with team, with sales, or launches, and what happens when you keep solving instead of stopping there. Molly and I dive into what brings feelings of true relief in your business (and why those can tell us what needs to shift), how to match your strategy to the way your audience actually buys, and the patience required to run a “light launch” in a way that sets you up for long-term success. We also get specific about ads, conversions, and the exact questions you need to be asking to make sure...

This is an episode that is equal parts validating and practical. We go deep into the patterns that so many high-achieving women carry like hypervigilance, over-responsibility, and the constant sense that we should be able to “just handle it all”. Sound familiar? Plus, we talk about what happens when we stop making ourselves the problem and actually diagnose what’s really going on in our businesses. This session is ultimately about reclaiming your capacity and sanity by building systems that neutralize emotional triggers, leaning on your team more, and designing a business that works with...

I'm going to be honest, this is a unique session to start a season. And as you get to know the joy and vulnerability that Molly brings to everything, you'll see why it couldn't have been any other way! Molly and I pick up "mid conversation" (i.e. we had done an intensive together prior to starting) to celebrate and dissect a huge win and dive incredibly deep on an in-process sales page. This episode exemplifies how simple it can be to see results, and much strategy and detail still go into it. You'll walk away with energetic shifts to apply to your next launch, detailed shifts to make on your...

We’re kicking off Season 12 with a powerful introduction to our new coachee, Molly! In this intro episode, you’ll get to know who Molly is, both in her business and in her life, and why she said yes to this experience of coaching publicly. She shares what’s been working in her business, the challenges she’s navigating right now, and the goals she’s holding as she steps into this container. Most importantly, you’ll hear her excitement (and fears) about what’s to come. I have a feeling you’re going to fall in love with Molly and be inspired by her willingness to go deep from the...
