312: Reinventing Yourself Without Losing Yourself with Lacey Newman

In this episode, Danielle sits down with founder, coach, and speaker Lacey Newman for a powerful conversation about identity shifts, entrepreneurship, motherhood, money, and what it really takes to build a life that feels aligned. Lacey shares her journey from building a nearly billion-dollar real estate business as a single mother to completely reinventing her career and stepping into deeper purpose-driven work helping women break free from burnout, over-functioning, and the pressure to constantly prove themselves. Together, Danielle and Lacey unpack the realities of reinvention, nervous system capacity, visibility, investing in yourself, and why the next level of success requires a deeper level of self-trust. This episode is an honest conversation about what happens when ambitious women stop sacrificing themselves for success, and start building lives that actually feel good to live.
