Hey, I'm LaChelle.

I'm passionate about helping people unlock their full potential. For over 15 years, I've been connecting with audiences as a motivational speaker, and for the past 6 years, I've also had the privilege of guiding individuals and organizations through my coaching and business consulting practice. Whether it's on stage or working one-on-one with clients, I love empowering people to achieve greater impact and income.

My approach centers around fostering clarity, courage, confidence, and consistency – the essential ingredients for sustainable success. This passion also led me to create The Spiral Up Podcast, where I explore these themes in greater depth. And through my consulting firm, i AM - Life By Design, I partner with entrepreneurs and businesses to help them thrive.

You built something from nothing. You showed up every single day, said yes when you should have said no, and poured everything you had into making it work. And it did work. Until you tried to take a week off and realized the whole thing would fall apart without you.

That moment, the one where freedom turned into a trap, is exactly where Jason McKenzie found himself at the height of what looked like success. He had a thriving web design agency, a full team, and money coming in. And then his clients told him he wasn't allowed to go on vacation. That's when he knew something had gone very wrong, not with the business, but with the beliefs underneath it.

The cage most small business owners are stuck in isn't made of strategy. It's made of assumptions. About what the business needs from you. About whether you can trust someone else to do it right. About what happens if you slow down, step back, or stop being the one who holds it all together.

When those assumptions go unquestioned, they quietly become the ceiling. You can't hire. You can't delegate. You can't rest. And the business that was supposed to give you freedom becomes the thing that owns your time, your energy, and your peace.

This episode is about breaking that pattern, not with a perfect system or a massive team, but with four shifts that start smaller than you think.

Here's what this episode will help you understand and apply:

  • Why the beliefs you feel most certain about are often the ones worth questioning first

  • How to find someone who's already solved the problem you're stuck in and learn from their path

  • Why delegation doesn't require a perfect onboarding system, just the willingness to start small

  • How to hire people who complement your weaknesses instead of mirror your strengths

  • Why your environment is either reinforcing your old patterns or helping you build new ones
