Level Up with Lacey

What happens when you find yourself in back-to-back rooms with some of the most powerful women in business?This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most surreal weeks of my business journey — from a private mastermind in Nashville with my coach and mentor Amy Porterfield, to hopping on a plane and joining Britt Seva and the Thrivers Community at the X Retreat in San Antonio.Talk about a pinch-me moment (or two).But this wasn't just a fun week — it was a game-changing one.These rooms were packed with high-level women who are leading, scaling, and structuring their businesses in completely different ways… and thriving.It reminded me that:

“I'm canceling my appointment. The price I paid? No way. Disappointing.”That was the message my student (and dear friend) received from a client — and she was crushed. The client didn't understand why an assistant had worked on her, questioned the pricing, and accused her of being unethical.Oof. Those texts hit hard — especially when you're working so hard to build something bigger than yourself.But here's the truth:If you've ever received feedback like this… you are not failing.Your assistant program is not broken.And you do not have to crumble every time someone doesn't understand your vision.In this episode, I'm walking you through what to do when clients question your pricing, your team structure, or your leadership — especially when emotions are high and doubts start to creep in.Because moments like this? They're not the end — they're a part of the growth.Inside this episode, we'll unpack:The exact message a client sent that left one of my students reelingWhy feedback like this stings — and how to process it without spiralingWhat this kind of pushback really means (and doesn't mean) about your businessHow to respond with leadership, clarity, and confidenceWhy building an assistant program will always come with a learning curve — for you and your clientsThis is the pep talk you need when things feel shaky and you're questioning it all.

Let's talk about silence — not as weakness, but as power.In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a tough chapter in my leadership journey. Earlier this year, I released a podcast episode that stirred up some real emotions — especially with a few former team members. I almost didn't post it. I questioned everything, even texting Mel asking, “Should we really release this?” But I knew in my gut that I needed to share my truth.What happened next?I got pages of feedback from past employees — some hadn't worked with me for over six months. I asked for honesty, and they gave it to me. Some of it was helpful. Some of it hurt. A lot.And to top it off… it all unfolded in the middle of our big Assistant University launch.People were texting me, “Did you see what so-and-so said?” Screenshots were flying. Stories were being posted. The pressure to respond? Massive.But I didn't.Instead, I chose silence.I chose leadership over drama.I chose peace over pettiness.This episode is about what that season taught me — about boundaries, maturity, and trusting yourself even when it feels like the world is watching.Because not everything deserves your energy.And sometimes, the most powerful move you can make is saying nothing at all.Inside this episode, you'll hear:Why getting the “last word” doesn't always serve youWhat happened behind the scenes after a vulnerable episode went liveThe emotional rollercoaster of receiving unfiltered feedbackHow I handled public criticism during one of the biggest launches of my businessWhy silence can be the strongest response as a leaderIf you're navigating leadership, boundaries, or backlash right now… this one's for you.

Ever feel like the days fly by and you're left wondering where your time actually went?Yep — I've been there too.In this episode, I'm sharing the exact strategies that helped me go from constantly overwhelmed and “on call” 24/7… to feeling more focused, more protected, and more in control of my schedule.We all get the same 24 hours. But how you spend them? That's what determines your peace, your productivity, and your progress. I'm breaking down the three time management tools I use every week to protect my energy and get the rightthings done — without burning out.And yes, I'm also sharing the real talk moment that stung a little… when a friend told me I wasn't “reachable” anymore — and how that comment became a confirmation that my boundaries were finally sticking.Inside this episode:My two go-to tools for tracking and planning your time (Toggl + Color Blocking)Why time blocking only works when you actually honor itHow learning to say no and creating space saved my sanity (and my business)If you're tired of your time slipping through the cracks, press play. These strategies will help you lead with intention, protect your energy, and finally feel in control of your calendar.

Let's talk about the unsexy hour that completely transformed my business.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the one hour each week that made the biggest difference in my salon's financial health — and no, I'm not the one categorizing every transaction.From bi-weekly meetings with my CFO to reviewing monthly P&Ls and making data-backed decisions, I'm sharing exactly what this rhythm looks like inside both LG and Salon Lace. If you're avoiding your numbers, overwhelmed by QuickBooks, or just hoping things “work out” — this episode is your sign to shift that.Because your business can't grow if you're flying blind.

Ever feel like you're either winning big or completely failing? That black-and-white thinking kept me stuck for years — and in this episode, I'm sharing how running a half marathon (and nearly falling apart during it) became the wake-up call I didn't know I needed.I'll break down how the all-or-nothing mindset shows up in your business, keeps you in perfection mode, and delays the growth you're working so hard for. More importantly, you'll learn how to shift into progress-focused thinking that actually builds momentum — even when things feel messy.This episode is your permission to stop waiting for perfect, start taking action now, and finally move forward with confidence.

Inside this episode:What a day in Meisha's world looks like (hint: it's a lot!)Her biggest struggles balancing motherhood and running multiple businessesThe moments she felt like she was drowning—and how she found her way backHow setting strong boundaries has protected her family and peaceThe proudest moment she's had as a working momMeisha's story is all about ambition, heart, and resilience—and she's here to encourage every mom out there who's wondering how to juggle it all (spoiler: it's possible).

“I love this question!”

Are you feeling defeated, burned out, or overly emotional about the hard stuff happening in your business right now?In this episode, I'm getting real about the tough decisions salon owners face — and how to stop letting emotions run the show. I'm currently in a season of making some seriously HARD business decisions, and let me tell you: it's all business right now. No room for guilt, overthinking, or hurt feelings.We're talking about what it means to take a pause, check your emotions at the door, and ask:

In this special episode, we're celebrating a BIG milestone—Mel's 2-Year Anniversary with LG!

Are you constantly reminding your commission stylists to post their availability on social media? Feeling like a broken record while they keep saying things like “I don't like being on camera” or “I want to be private”?In today's episode, we're diving into the frustration that comes when your service providers aren't pulling their weight when it comes to marketing themselves. Because let's be real: it's 2025… and social media is not optional anymore.We'll cover:What to do when a stylist "doesn't like technology"How to motivate team members without bribing or babysittingThe difference between burnout and just not knowing what to doWhy leading by example is more powerful than micromanagingHow to set crystal-clear expectations about social media… from DAY ONEWe're also tackling the big question:Are they even the right fit for your team?Because if a stylist can't—or won't—commit to building their clientele, that's not just a social media problem… that's a culture problem.

If your salon team has been showing up a little too casual lately, you're not imagining it… and you're definitely not alone!

Join The Assistant University here ⤵️ https://lg-education.mykajabi.com/AUpresale Growing a team is HARD AF, and in this episode, I'm spilling the tea on how I lost 9 stylists last year. Yep, you heard that right—9. The truth is, growing a team comes with its challenges, and no one ever said it was easy. People will come and go, and that's a reality we have to face as salon owners. In this raw and honest conversation, I'll share why these stylists left, the mistakes I made, and the lessons I learned along the way. Here's what you can expect in this episode: Why some stylists had a false sense of hope and thought they could earn more elsewhere. How misalignment with core values played a role. The impact of boredom, change, and a desire for new scenery. The big mistake I made—not hiring soon enough! The power of growing and empowering artists to eventually go out on their own. Tips for rental salon owners on staggered contracts to avoid major turnover at once. I'm also diving into the importance of exit surveys (yes, we might even dedicate an entire episode to these later!). And while losing 9 team members was tough, it's taught me so much about resilience, leadership, and the value of leaning in harder when someone leaves. Key Takeaways: High performers don't need babysitting, and true talent doesn't create drama. Why it's crucial to set non-negotiable standards, let go of weak links, and lead with confidence. The importance of recognizing that some people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. I'm here to remind you that if I can lose 9 team members, you can overcome losing 1 or 2. Your best stylists might be the ones you haven't even met yet! So, keep going, have the courage to hire again, and trust in the journey.
