LITerally is a podcast that shares the raw, unscripted experience of building an online business. Hosted by Lacey Sites, business mentor and success coach, this podcast literally takes you through the entire process of building a successful business and creating a lit up life. Each episode is a recording of actual coaching sessions between Lacey and one of her clients over the course of six months, giving you the "reality tv view" (minus the sleaze) of building an online business. LITerally will…
This is one of the most raw and real sessions we've had on LITerally. Sari comes in having just had a repressed memory surface, and what unfolds is a conversation about what it actually means to feel safe, why everything always makes sense when you follow it back far enough, and what it looks like to hold space for someone in the middle of something that big. We also talk about "knowing your role"…
Sari comes into this session a different person than the one we left last session. The changes she made are reshaping how her business feels day to day, and we get into why this shift is so meaningful. We also dig into expert content, carousels, what actually makes a mini offer convert, and the truth about scripting versus sounding like a robot. But underneath all of it is a conversation about…
Sari comes into this session having made some big changes in her life, and we get into why that shift matters more than any tactic ever could. From there we dig into the data behind her content, the difference between what's getting attention and what's actually working, and why some of her recent answers may be simpler than she thinks. We also talk webinar strategy, bonuses, and the pressure to…
This session starts in the aftermath of a launch that brought up a lot more than just numbers. Sari came in having already been through an emotional spin in Basecamp, and this conversation picks up in the middle of the very human experience of building something new while already running something successful. We talk about the urgency to know, and one of the most important lessons you can learn in…
Sari and I have been exploring what it actually feels like to hold two things at once: this is great, and I still want more. We've talked about why that combination is so much harder to say out loud than it sounds, and why the women who seem to be doing just fine are often the ones who feel most stuck. This one will make you think differently about what "enough" really means, and why wanting more…
Sari is in the middle of her first launch, and this session focuses on what that actually feels like from the inside. We dig into what the numbers are telling us, what they aren't, and how to stay grounded when you're learning everything in real time. We also go deeper into the life stuff, because realistically Sari has a lot on her plate (like so many working moms). This session gets honest about…
This session is such a good reminder of why data matters. Sari and I unpack an Instagram "debacle" that could have easily spiraled if she wasn't paying attention to the right metrics and context. We also talk about problem awareness, energetic exchange, and the difference between creating from "I am" versus "I have to prove." This conversation starts with data and strategy but goes deeper into…
This session is such a powerful look at what it actually means to step into the role of CEO, and how different that is from simply being the person posting online. Sari and I talk about the identity shifts that happen as your business grows, the pressure and hypervigilance that can come with that, and why being willing to fail is often the thing that finally creates success. We also dig into…
One of the hardest parts of building a business is not knowing if what you're doing is actually working, especially when the results aren't showing up in the way you expected yet. It's so easy to assume something is broken, to second guess yourself, or to pivot too quickly. In this solo episode, I walk through how to actually know if your business will work and give you a framework and filter to…
This session is a real look at what it means to be in a season that feels like a lot... when you're in catch-up mode, when things aren't fully clicking yet, and when you're holding both the desire for more and the reality of where you are. It's also about the question "will this ever work?" and the realities of answering that question, dealing with the times where it feels like it isn't working,…
This session is what it looks like to shift into ownership of your voice, your process, and what actually makes your work work. Sari moves away from relying on ChatGPT, timing her posts, and feeling artificial pressure and realizes she has more to say and better results because of it. We talk about the type of pressure that gets in the way of growth. And dive into everything from play and…
