Episode #2 - Lacey Tomlinson

Lacey is FASCINATING. I am continually inspired by the way she approaches, shares, and embraces life. She is intelligent, funny, and sassy and her heart is as wide as he soul is deep. Lacey and I have shared many a laugh, a lunch, and a big tea beverage while in grad school at the University of Cincinnati, where she now serves as an academic advisor and guiding light to students. When we recorded this episode, Lacey and her husband, Joe, were on the eve of bringing their first child into this world. At the time of this episode dropping, they are now very happy parents to little Isaac! Meet my friend, encourager, and major inspiration for this very podcast: Lacey Tomlinson.

In this episode, Lacey lightheartedly and vulnerably shares about the anticipation and fears she's experienced in her pregnancy, which has been quite a ride. Originally, she was told she'd be having a baby girl. Then, 8 1/2 months into her pregnancy, she was told she'd be having a baby boy!

Lacey also shares some wonderful reflective exercises she's used like the list of 100 Things That Make Her Happy and Letters to self past, present, and future. She also shares excellent advice on Kindness, How to be Strategically Lazy and How to Look Like You Have Your Life Together. You're gonna love her stories, her humor, and her heart. Lacey is 30 years old and makes her home in Cincinnati. 

This episode was recorded in late December 2018 in Lacey and Joe's cozy living room amidst Christmas decorations and their two dogs, Indy and Luna.
