Ep 09: College Algebra, Business, and Babies: They Don't All Have to Be This Hard

from Ready, Fire, Aim. · host Lacy Arant

This week Lacy goes off-script and a little off-cadence. After fifteen years of white-knuckling her way through everything, she's finally asking the question she kept refusing to ask: what if it didn't have to be this hard?She gets honest about her ADHD diagnosis, the brain fog that hit hardest after baby number three, and the quiet, stubborn belief a lot of founders carry: that hard is good, that struggling is the price of being serious, that you just push through. Turns out she was wrong, and the fix was a lot smaller than she expected.This one's a peek behind the curtain. No framework, no whiteboard. Just a founder admitting that the clarity she'd been grinding for was sitting there the whole time, waiting on her to give herself permission to reach for it. If you've been muscling through something that doesn't have to be this hard, this episode is for you.Curious where your brand is costing you clarity?
