Serving Well Without Losing Yourself (Close-Up with Lacey)

LITerally

We talk a lot about delivering in business (though probably still not enough). We know the game of giving more value, being of service, and overdelivering to create results. But what gets talked about far less is how often that delivery comes at the expense of your own bandwidth, clarity, or boundaries, especially when you really care.

In this solo episode, I’m unpacking what it actually looks like to serve powerfully without losing yourself in the process. We’re talking about expectation-setting, emotional labor, clean boundaries, and why real leadership means being honest about what’s yours to hold… and what’s not.

Because the truth is, most burnout doesn’t come from giving too much. It comes from holding what was never meant to be yours.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why overdelivering is often just self-protection in disguise
• How this one thing creates so much trust and reduces emotional labor
• What clean delivery actually looks like when you care deeply
• The difference between proving your value and embodying your promise
• Why boundaries don’t limit client results (and how to navigate the fine line that exists there)
• The biggest shift I see people make to feel immediately lighter in their business
