I Took 146 Days Off Work - And It Changed Everything

I disappeared for 146 days… 👀

Okay, not completely 😂 But it changed the way I work... and I learned A LOT.

You guys… I’M BACK!!!! 🎙️

And I have SO much to tell you.

This summer, I did something I never planned on doing.

I took 146 days off from my normal work schedule.

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIX DAYS!!!!

Was it planned? Nope.

Was I a little terrified to step away? HELL YEAH.

Was it one of the best decisions I’ve ever made? One thousand percent.

What started as a childcare situation completely changing turned into one of the most special summers of my life—and it taught me A LOT about motherhood, business, rest, and the pressure we put on ourselves to constantly keep going.

And here’s what surprised me the most…

LG Education didn’t fall apart.

The podcast kept going. Our students were still supported. The important things still happened.

And when I finally came back? I felt more creative, inspired, and excited about my business than I have in a LONG time.

In this week’s episode of The Level Up with Lacey Podcast, I’m sharing exactly how I stepped away, what kept the business running, the HUGE lesson I learned about using what you’ve already created, and why I’ve officially decided I will never work another summer the way I used to.

If you’re a salon owner, business owner, or working mom who feels like everything depends on YOU… you need this episode.

And while you’re listening, I want you to think about this:

Are you building a business that supports the life you want to live… or are you building your entire life around your business?

I have a feeling this episode is going to hit home for a lot of you. ❤️

Love you guys!!!
