Losing yourself doesn’t always happen all at once. Sometimes, it’s quiet, happening in the middle of making lunch, folding laundry, and holding everything together for everyone else. After her third baby, Lacey Taylor started to feel like she was fading. She wasn’t just tired, she felt like she didn’t recognize herself anymore. Postpartum depression crept in slowly. It didn’t look like sadness. It looked like going through the motions and feeling nothing.
On the outside, life looked full: three kids, a home, routines, but inside, she felt numb. Moving her body wasn’t about getting fit. It was about feeling something again. It gave her space to breathe, to think, to come back to herself.
That’s when things started to shift. And that’s when she realized this was more than just a personal journey, it was a path she could help others walk, too.
Finding Herself in the Fog
Before everything unraveled, Lacey poured herself into her family. But after her last baby, the rhythm shifted. The days blurred. The routine became relentless. She was caring for everyone except herself, and the silence about how she really felt only made things worse.
She told herself she should be able to push through. Maybe she just needed rest. But what she really needed was help.
Reaching out felt uncomfortable, but necessary. She hired a personal trainer, not for abs or milestones, but to have one thing that was hers. Something quiet. Something grounding. The structure gave her room to breathe. The movement gave her clarity. And bit by bit, she remembered who she was beyond the role of caretaker. That return to self sparked a deeper purpose.
Building a Different Kind of Strength
Lacey didn’t become a personal trainer to help women chase perfect bodies. She became one to help them feel like themselves again. She works with women who are tired, stretched thin, and feeling invisible. Women who don’t need a strict program, they need room to breathe. They need someone to say, “It’s okay to show up just as you are.”
Her coaching is not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters. Short workouts that fit into real days. Support that feels like a deep breath. She helps women move without pressure, rest without guilt, and find strength in ways that have nothing to do with the scale.
What Lacey’s learned is this: healing does not happen when you push through the pain. It happens when you start listening to your body, to your breath, to the quiet part of you that’s been waiting to be heard.
Coaching With Compassion
Lacey’s clients come with heavy stories, new motherhood, chronic stress, deep fatigue, and loss. Many of them are not sure where to start. What they all want is to feel seen and supported without judgment.
Lacey meets them there. With tools, yes, but also with empathy. Her coaching helps women rebuild trust in their bodies, one small win at a time. It’s not just about routines. It’s about rewriting the story you tell yourself when you look in the mirror.
Instead of asking women to push through pain, she teaches them to pay attention to it. Not as a weakness, but as information. That shift, from shame to understanding, is where transformation begins.
From Surviving to Leading
Lacey never planned to start a business. She was just trying to make it through. But the steps she took to heal became a way to help others find their way, too. What she offers is not a formula, it’s a feeling. A sense of being seen, supported, and reminded that you are not alone in this.
She does not pretend to have all the answers. Instead, she helps women remember the strength they have had all along. Her own struggles became the map. And now, she is walking it with others, side by side, step by step.
Healing is not about snapping back or having it all together. It’s about slowly coming back to yourself. Trusting that even in the mess, you are still moving forward.
