Jacey co-hosts the Around the Table podcast {This week they celebrated their 1 year anniversary, congrats gals!} and serves as the Brand + Business Manager for Naptime Diaries. She lives in Charleston, SC with her husband and golden retriever.
We had such a blast chatting with Jacey. Getting to interview other podcasters is so much fun!
As we do with all of our guests we start out with a hard hitting question, what is your definition of success?
Jacey shares an insightful answer we think will really resonate with all of our listeners,
"Success to me is growing into the fullness of who you were created to be, regardless of fear, self-doubt, and obstacles along the way."
Yes, Yes, YES! She also talks about how success is a process rather than a destination. If you've been listening for a while you know we 100% believe this to be true! It is all about the process or journey!
Jacey shares the story of when her definition of success shifted.
"I just wish I made more money."
"I just wish I accomplished more."
"I wish I had a job that had a track to it where I could know I was achieving something."
Jacey shared these words with her dad and he gave the best response that Jacey needed to hear,
"Life is about more than making money and achieving things." {-Jacey's dad}
She knew that, and believed it but she needed to hear it to be reminded that she is not on that path, and that is ok. Her life and her success are not defined by her bank account and the things she checks off her daily/weekly/monthly to-do list.
We talk a lot about her podcast and her blog. She shares how she defines success for both. The metric she uses for both is if people have a "me too" moment she knows she is making a difference. She can't be solely focused on numbers, likes, shares, downloads, hearts, etc.
Jacey also shares about how she recently embraced the word ambition and now proudly counts it as a trait she has.
Jacey mentions the book Daring Greatly, by Brene Brown and The Icarus Deception by Seth Godin.
