This week I’m bringing back an encore episode with the hilarious and inspiring Lacy Branch Counts. If you’ve ever spent time on social media in our community, you probably already know Lacy. She’s a successful business owner, a mama raising a child with autism, and someone who keeps life refreshingly honest and funny.In this conversation, we talk about what it really looks like to juggle business, motherhood, marriage, and community involvement. Lacey shares the real-life moments behind the highlight reel—how she balances running The Yard Bar, being a wife to Steven, and raising her son Crew while navigating the unique challenges of parenting a child with autism.What I love most about this conversation is how real it is. We laugh, we talk about messy moments, and we dig into the strength it takes to keep showing up for your family and your dreams. Lacey reminds us that even when life feels chaotic, there’s beauty in the journey and purpose in the everyday moments.
