The Overfunctioning Trap: AI, Burnout & the New Rules of Success with Lacey Newman

On today’s episode of The CLS Experience, Craig Siegel sits down with Lacey Newman, founder, coach, real estate juggernaut and keynote speaker, for a powerful conversation about success, freedom, AI, and what it really means to build a life that doesn’t require you to constantly over-function. Lacey shares how she scaled a real estate team to nearly $1B in sales, hosted an Emmy-nominated TV show, and ultimately realized that more money wasn’t the answer - freedom, alignment, and actually loving her calendar were. They dive into how to use AI without losing your voice through the 10-80-10 rule, why over-functioning can become a fast track to burnout, and how delegation, spirituality, motherhood, and trusting your intuition can completely change the way you lead. If you're a high performer who wants to create more freedom without sacrificing the soul behind what you’re building, this conversation is for you.02:25 How to Use AI Without Losing Your Soul06:22 The 10-80-10 Rule for Keeping Your Voice12:25 Why Overfunctioning Is a Fast Track to Burnout13:54 Redefining Success Beyond Money36:45 Delegation, AI, and the Freedom to LeadCheck out Lacey's AI for Ambitious Women Workshop on August 25th HERE:Check out Lacey on Instagram HERE:Check out Lacey HERE:Early Bird Tickets now available for our October live event, CLS: Formation HERE:To join our community click here.➤ Order a copy of Craig's book The Reinvention Formula today! ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and wisdom to elevate your life, text (917) 634-3796➤ INSTAGRAM➤ FACEBOOK➤ TIKTOK➤ YOUTUBE➤ WEBSITE➤ LINKEDIN➤ X
