How to Lead When Everything Feels Uncertain: Building a 7-Figure Business through Chaos, Crisis, and Change with Andrea Lucas
Manage episode 497149254 series 2365102
Ever dreamed of taking a sabbatical from your business without losing momentum—or income?
Today’s episode is an honest, inspiring, and wildly empowering conversation with my friend Andrea Isabelle Lucas—author, speaker, and founder of the multi-million dollar barre and yoga brand, Barre & Soul.
Andrea went from being a teen mom navigating domestic violence to building a brick-and-mortar empire with multiple studio locations across the East Coast. But what’s even more impressive? She’s now in her second year of a self-declared sabbatical—living in LA, dating, doing photoshoots, and only doing what lights her up. And the business? It’s thriving without her in the day-to-day.
Whether you’re in the thick of raising littles or navigating your next-level CEO chapter, this episode will remind you that joy, ease, and alignment are not a luxury—they’re part of the plan.
Tune in to hear:
How Andrea scaled to 6 locations in 3 years—without startup capital or investors
The pivot moment that led to a wildly profitable sabbatical
Why letting go of control was the most powerful move for her team and bottom line
What it actually looked like to lead a brick-and-mortar business through COVID
The difference between strategy and soul-led creativity (and why you need both)
Why rebranding the business for herself reignited her passion (and increased revenue)
The secret to surviving hard seasons without losing yourself
A powerful invitation for moms to choose joy and stop justifying it
