What if the life you’ve been chasing is the exact thing disconnecting you from yourself?
In this deeply raw and transformative conversation, George sits down with Lacey Newman, top 1% real estate leader, coach, and speaker to unpack the truth most entrepreneurs avoid:
Lacey shares her powerful journey from building a life that looked perfect on paper… to realizing she was completely disconnected from herself.
Together, they explore the hidden patterns that keep entrepreneurs stuck: self-doubt, lack of self-trust, performance-based worth, and chasing validation, and how to break free from them.
This episode is not about tactics.
It’s about truth.
Because when you stop sacrificing your soul for your business… everything changes.
