God My CEO: How Pain, Forgiveness, and a Cauliflower Crust Built a Billion-Dollar Movement ft. Amy Lacey
from Called & Crowned · host Emily Ford
She survived childhood trauma. Beat lupus into remission. Brought the world’s first cauliflower pizza crust to market when grocery aisles only sold the head. And exited her company at the top 1% of women founders to ever do an 8-figure deal. Amy Lacey didn’t just build a business. She’s a woman whose life is marked by resilience, faith, and transformation. After years of striving, she made a defining decision: “God is my CEO.” Everything changed from that moment. Today, she helps others heal from the inside out, build meaningful businesses, and step fully into who they’re called to be. In this episode, Emily sits down with Amy to go beyond the success and into the deeper story - the trauma she carried, how it showed up in her body, and the moment she chose forgiveness. Together, they unpack what it really looks to heal, surrender, and allow God to rebuild parts of your life that felt broken. This episode is going to stir something in you and remind you that no matter what you’ve walked through, you can be faithfully found. What You’ll Learn: What changes when you stop hiding your story and use it to serve others How serving the person you once were brings clarity to what you’re meant to build Why balancing motherhood and ambition isn’t about perfection Why forgiveness is a decision and healing is a process What it truly means to make God your CEO Timestamps: (02:33) - The Hidden Trauma That Shaped Amy’s Body, Mind, And Business (03:17) - The Cauliflower Pizza Story (10:36) - The Prayer That Changed Everything (14:22) - How Storytelling Beats Strategy in Building Anything That Lasts (17:01) - What Amy Learned About Motherhood, Ambition, and Presence in Every Season (27:03) - Finding Healing Through Serving Others (28:30) - What The Messy Middle Teaches You About Timing and Growth (31:33) - Why Building for Profit Alone Eventually Stops Feeling Enough (33:44) - Forgiveness Is a Decision, but Healing Is a Process (39:10) - Why Rejection Isn’t the End (It’s Just the Next Opportunity) (41:16) - Why Most People Quit Before They Break Through (42:53) - Amy’s 5 P’s for Business Success (48:06) - Building A Personal Brand Around Your Story (54:32) - Attracting What You Become, Not What You Want Connect with Amy: Website | https://heyamylacey.com/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/heyamylacey/ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/amy.lacey.313 TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@heyamylacey More from Emily & FORDIVINE: Website | https://meetemilyford.com Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/itsemily Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/itsemilymethod YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/ITSEMILYFORD Called & Crowned Podcast | https://www.instagram.com/calledandcrowned/ FORDIVINE | https://www.fordivine.com/
