The Overfunctioning Trap: AI, Burnout & the New Rules of Success with Lacey Newman — The CLS Experience with Craig Siegel

On today’s episode of The CLS Experience, Craig Siegel sits down with Lacey Newman, founder, coach, real estate juggernaut and keynote speaker, for a powerful conversation about success, freedom, AI, and what it really means to build a life that doesn’t require you to constantly over-function. Lacey shares how she scaled a real estate team to nearly $1B in sales, hosted an Emmy-nominated TV show, and ultimately realized that more money wasn’t the answer - freedom, alignment, and actually loving her calendar were. They dive into how to use AI without losing your voice through the 10-80-10 rule, why over-functioning can become a fast track to burnout, and how delegation, spirituality, motherhood, and trusting your intuition can completely change the way you lead. If you're a high performer who wants to create more freedom without sacrificing the soul behind what you’re building, this conversation is for you.
