Summary
In this episode, I sit down with Lacey Newman for a grounded, honest conversation about what actually creates long-term success — in business, leadership, and life.
We talk about discipline versus motivation, identity-based standards, and why so many high performers burn out chasing short-term wins instead of building something sustainable. Lacey shares her experience as a real estate professional, coach, speaker, and TV host, and how her definition of success has evolved as she's grown personally and professionally.
This conversation is especially for anyone who feels tired of hustle culture but also knows they're meant for more — and wants to build a life that feels aligned, disciplined, and deeply fulfilling.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why discipline beats motivation every time
- Identity and standards as the foundation of success
- Building consistency without burning out
- Leadership, responsibility, and self-trust
- Creating a life you don't need to escape from
Lacey is a real estate professional, coach, speaker, and TV host who has built her career around leadership, discipline, and long-term thinking. What I really respect about Lacey is that she doesn't sell motivation or hustle for hustle's sake: she talks about responsibility, standards, and becoming the kind of person who can actually sustain success.

| 0:00.0 | It comes down truly to choosing yourself. |
| 0:04.6 | So many of us women look at that selfishly. |
| 0:08.3 | But what I've come to understand is that it truly, it's honestly more selfish to do it the other way. |
| 0:14.8 | It is more selfish to deplete yourself so entirely that you hit a wall and you're good for no one. Welcome to Embody Radio, |
| 0:23.7 | the premiere podcast for ambitious women ready to elevate their body, mind, and life to the next |
| 0:28.1 | level. On this show, we've used high performance, wellness and aesthetics, and self-mastery into a |
| 0:33.4 | real world blueprint for personal excellence. Each week, you'll get real, grounded strategies and |
| 0:38.3 | unfiltered conversations with high performers who walk the talk, no fluff, and no fake hype. |
| 0:43.1 | Because excellence isn't an accident. It's embodiment. And this is Mbody Radio. |
| 0:49.8 | Girl, what's up and welcome back to Mbody Radio where excellence isn't an accident. It's something you live. Welcome to a new year. Welcome to 2026. I am so excited for everything that 20206 has in store. And also, I'm not going to lie. I'm a little nervous. I have big goals. I have big dreams. I have big aspirations just like I know a lot of you do too. |
| 1:17.5 | And going into 2026, I got hit with whatever plague has been going around. And I was laid up for like a week straight. So I feel like my new year is off to a bit of a late start and definitely |
| 1:24.1 | not the start that I wanted to have. And just full honesty, full transparency. |
| 1:29.5 | I'm a little anxious about it, even though I know logically like, hey, dude, it's only a few days |
| 1:33.7 | into the year. You have the whole year ahead of you. But I think sometimes it's so easy for us to look |
| 1:38.6 | at the goals and the aspirations that we have and to feel like any perceived interference with that timeline is whether it's a threat |
| 1:46.9 | or it's a personal failing. And that's part of why I'm so excited for today's episode. Today we have |
| 1:53.0 | on the show Lacey Newman. And Lacey is a real estate professional, a coach, a speaker, and a TV |
| 1:59.8 | host who has built her career around |
| 2:01.6 | leadership, discipline, and long-term thinking. And what I really respect about Lacey is that |
| 2:06.9 | she doesn't sell motivation or hustle for hustle's sake. She talks about responsibility, |
