At the core of every meaningful life lesson lies an undeniable truth about who we are and who we’re capable of becoming. For Lacy, that truth began unfolding at the age of ten. Then when a horse helped her strip away the layers she had been hiding behind and discover her authentic self, the moment transformed her. It planted the seeds of purpose deep within her soul—a purpose that has since blossomed into a mission of helping others uncover the roots of their own authenticity.
The Power of Vulnerability
Lacy has spent her life exploring what it means to live authentically, even when vulnerability feels uncomfortable. Vulnerability, after all, is not a weakness—it’s a doorway to growth, resilience, and connection. Her journey, from a young girl in search of meaning to an Army officer leading with wisdom and authenticity, taught her one life-changing lesson after another.
Through courage and determination, she overcame obstacles that might have seemed insurmountable, and it was in those moments of struggle that her true strength was cultivated. Stepping into her role as a leader—both in the military and in her entrepreneurial ventures—Lacy embraced the fact that letting people see her authentic self wasn’t a liability; it was her greatest asset.
A Story Worth Sharing
Lacy’s dedication to living and leading authentically is a message she’s proud to share in her upcoming anthology, She Wins: Nice Girls Finish First. This powerful collection of inspiring stories serves as a celebration of women’s resilience and strength—the proof that leading with kindness, compassion, and authenticity paves the ultimate path to success. Each story is written by a woman who has risen above life’s challenges, proving that “being nice” is not a sign of weakness, but rather, an extraordinary power.
Lacy’s contribution to the book highlights how lessons learned on the battlefield of life—including as an Army officer—sharpened her resilience and shaped her leadership philosophy. Her chapter, focusing on authentic leadership, draws on her personal and professional growth, offering tools and insight for anyone ready to lead from a place of truth.
“Every single woman who becomes empowered to be authentic to her true self gives the opportunity to inspire the women around her to do the same,” Lacy shares. “When women align with the passion inside them, the mission they are meant to carry out becomes unstoppable. This kind of leadership sends ripples of peace and progress through the world.”
Hearts and Horses
Lacy's authenticity and love for leadership led her to create the Hearts and Horses Signature Program, a life-changing initiative that helps people reconnect with their true selves through the profound wisdom of horses. Horses, she explains, don’t judge, they don’t wear masks, and they reflect exactly what they feel from those around them. To connect with a horse, we must first connect with ourselves authentically—an experience that’s as humbling as it is transforming.
Through this program, Lacy equips individuals with the tools they need to lead with clarity, compassion, and confidence. These moments of connection don’t just help individuals grow; they also contribute to the creation of healthier, happier communities.
Living Authentically and Changing the World
“I’ve been chasing the authentic me since I was ten,” Lacy says. Her serial entrepreneurship, spanning motherhood, health, wealth, and happiness, is an extension of her deep desire to embody her purpose and inspire others to do the same. Her passion drives her belief that when women live authentically, they become agents of change—not just for themselves, but for all of mankind.
When we strive to live authentically, we create a ripple effect. Every time one person steps into their truth, they inspire those around them to take the same leap. Authentic living impacts how we lead, love, and lift others, ultimately elevating entire communities. It’s not just a personal mission; it’s a global one.
Your Journey to Authenticity
Everyone’s path to authenticity is unique. For Lacy, it started with a single moment alongside a horse, and it became a lifelong pursuit of truth and purpose. For you, it might be different. The key is to listen to that inner voice, strip away the masks, and discover what makes you feel most alive.
She Wins is more than just a book—it’s a movement. A celebration of resilience, kindness, and the incredible power of being true to yourself. Through her story, Lacy invites you to join her on this path of authenticity, because every step we take toward being our real selves is a step toward a brighter, more peaceful world.
