What does it really take to build a successful law firm while raising a family and still making room for yourself?

Stacey shares how she and her partners started their law firm around a dining room table and grew it from a three-person operation into a thriving firm with 50+ team members. But the road to success wasn't always easy.

From moments when she considered walking away from entrepreneurship to learning how to delegate, ask for help, and trust the people around her, Stacey opens up about what it actually takes to stay the course.

She also discusses the freedom that business ownership has given her to be present for her family, maintain her hobbies, and pursue another side of herself—including performing as the lead singer of a cover band.
