Get Your Sh!t Together

Lacey Owens built the framework she now teaches on a night when nothing about her life was working. Divorced, working nights to clean houses while taking five university classes online, and raising three kids, she sat down with a scribbler from her kids' school supplies and started writing her way out. What came out of that notebook became a book, a course, and a coaching practice built specifically for the agricultural community, where the culture still tends to treat exhaustion as a badge of honor. The centerpiece is a framework called Focus Five, five areas of life that need daily attention, not just the one that happens to be loudest that week. Lacey has returned to the same system repeatedly through the hardest parts of her own life, and talks candidly about what it actually takes to keep a business, a marriage, and a family intact at the same time. What's Inside How a notebook grabbed from a school supply bin became the foundation for a book, a course, and a coaching practice The Focus Five framework: the five areas of life that need daily attention so one does not quietly take over all the others Why farm culture still measures character by how hard you worked instead of how well the business is actually run The exercise Lacey calls "Who the Heck Are You Anyways," including writing your own obituary as a way to find out what actually matters Why decision fatigue is real, and how a simple morning system frees up energy for the decisions that actually carry weight What Lacey tells producers who think asking for coaching or support is a sign of weakness   Buy Lacey’s Journal Here:  https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09P278358   Connect with Lacey: Website: https://twitter.com/LaceyRhea Twitter:  https://twitter.com/LaceyRhea Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/lacey-owens-922b2aa8/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laceyrheaowens/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5S-n1rsORdebYo2LT4bZRQ   Connect with Growing the Future Website: growingthefuture.ca YouTube: Growing the Future Instagram: @growingthefuturepodcast LinkedIn: Growing the Future   If you want to be part of the Growing the Future community, make sure to say hi on social at: https://linktr.ee/Growingthefuturepodcast Register for the Convergence Conference at convergence.ag and stay updated by subscribing to the Growing the Future Podcast at growingthefuturepodcast.ca.
