Hello !!! My mission is to help women become more confident in all the “hats” they wear, make more money, and save them time.

Keynote Speaker | Psychologist | Former C-Suite | Author |"The Trust Doctor": I work with organizations moving through high-pressure change, leadership turnover, mergers, generational shifts, public scrutiny, that want to rebuild trust. I am Dr. Kasi Lacey (yes it rhymes) and I am the founder of H & L Legacy a consulting business that focuses on empowering women to live their best lives… moving from surviving to thriving in your relationships, business, and finances. As a psychologist, who is also a C-suite executive/Vice-President, mom of two beautiful girls, and high-achieving, perfectionist (in recovery), I share my tricks and tips on how to use psychology to improve your career, relationships, and finances. I have an incredibly successful career and built a life beyond what I could have imagined. When I say I built, I truly mean it, as initially navigated this world with limited resources, moved out on my own at 16 years old, graduated with my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology 10 years later, and became a mom of two strong-minded girls, who are my driving force to make this world better for women and those who have the pleasure of learning from us. I have pushed through glass ceilings, fought for and secured a seat at the table not once, but multiple times, and have had the privilege of coaching, leading, and doing life with some amazing clients and women over the years. My story is a testament to the idea that with grit and resilience, we can change the cards dealt to us and achieve greatness. I have helped numerous women realize their potential, and significantly improve their confidence as a mom, executive, supervisor, or partner. If you want more out of your life and are searching for change, please follow me on Instagram and Facebook as I will share weekly, free, valuable resources, that will save you time, money, and precious energy. You can also email me at [email protected] with questions or browse my website at kasilacey.com for additional information. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your social media community as not everyone deserves access to this part of your life.

The best feedback I got came in a text about a wedding. 💌

A woman who used to care for my kids at daycare is getting married! 🎉 I can't be there, but she wrote that our family was a pivotal part of encouraging her to grow and to get to a place where she could accept love.

I'm still sitting with that, because I will forever be grateful to her and another exceptional woman who cared for my babies.

We weren't trying to change a life. We were just showing up, day after day.

People don't trust promises. They trust patterns. The small ones you repeat when nobody's keeping score are the ones people carry. That's leadership trust, at home and at work. 💛

Your challenge this week: text one person who helped you grow.

📌 Save this as your reminder. Send it to someone whose everyday kindness changed you.

I walked off a stage in Kansas City and onto an overnight flight to Santorini. ✈️

There was a season when the leaving would have been the hardest part. I was afraid of what would happen if I wasn't always available.

This time? I trusted and truly knew everything and everyone would be okay.

Here's what I believe now: rest is not the opposite of leadership. It is a test of it. If your team can't run for a week without you, that's a trust gap. If you can't step away without guilt, that's a self-trust gap. 💛

People don't trust promises. They trust patterns. Model the pattern of rest.

📌 Save this for the next time you feel guilty about taking time off. Send it to the friend who never takes a real vacation.

Confident leaders don't have less doubt than you. 👀

They just stopped waiting for it to leave.

You know the moment. The meeting is ending. Someone asks, "Any concerns?" You have one. And you stay quiet because you're not 100% sure.

Y'all, doubt is human. Self-trust is knowing you can make a thoughtful call and handle what happens next.

That's where the Trust Triad™ starts: self-trust first, then leadership trust, then organizational trust.

Try the Doubt Check: Name it. Weigh it. Decide anyway.

📌 Save this for your next hard meeting. Send it to the leader who always goes quiet at the end.

I ran out of my high school speech class. Today I speak to rooms full of leaders. 🎤

Happy International Day of the Girl. 💛

That teenager in the hallway didn't need to hear she was brave. She wasn't yet.

She needed to hear that fear isn't a verdict. It's information.

Confidence rarely comes first. Self-trust does. You act before you feel ready, and the evidence catches up.

I want my daughters surrounded by confident women with no ceiling on their choices. That starts with the women they watch.

So don't just tell the girls in your life they can do hard things. Let them watch you do one.

Save this for the girl who needs it. Send it to a woman who showed you what courage looks like.

The loudest one in the yard isn't the one anybody trusts. 🦃

My husband Ryan brought home a turkey and named him Jack Lacey, after his dad. A few mornings later I woke up to a wild buzzing noise. Jack was fully fanned out, strutting across the yard like he owned it. 😂

The girls thought it was hilarious. Delta Dawn was not amused.

Then the psychologist in me kicked in. I have seen that move in conference rooms. When pressure is high, some leaders puff up and get louder.

But trust in the workplace isn't built by the big display. It's built by the calm pattern. Lower your voice. Ask one more question. Let someone else speak first.

📌 Save this for your next high-pressure meeting. Send it to the leader who needs a laugh this weekend.

"I finally feel like I can trust my own decisions."

A message I received recently, and I haven't stopped thinking about it.

So many leaders I work with are polished, capable, and quietly unsure if they're allowed to trust their own instincts.

What changed for her wasn't her competence. It was always there.

What changed was her willingness to trust it.

That's the work. Not a new skill set. Trusting the one you already have. ✨

You don’t have to wait for a bigger title to become someone people trust.

And y’all, you don’t have to have every answer before you start trusting yourself, either.

I’m excited to join the Joplin Chamber of Commerce for the upcoming Young Professionals Summit, where I’ll be speaking on Trust Is the Strategy.

Early in my career, I thought the next degree, promotion, or leadership role would finally make me feel ready.

But every new opportunity came with new questions. And learning to trust myself meant making decisions, using my voice, and showing up even when I still had doubts.

That’s part of what we’ll explore together through the Trust Triad™:

→ Self-trust: Making decisions and contributing your ideas without waiting for perfect certainty.

→ Leadership trust: Building credibility through how you communicate, follow through, and support others.

→ Organizational trust: Recognizing how everyday workplace patterns shape whether people feel safe to speak up and contribute.

Because your career grows through more than what you know. It also grows through the trust you build—with yourself and the people around you.

I’m grateful to the Joplin Chamber for investing in the next generation of leaders, and I can’t wait to be in the room with this group!

If you’re joining us, come say hello. And if your organization is investing in emerging leaders, I’d love to help bring this conversation to your team. 🎤

There is something meaningful about returning to college campuses and speaking with the faculty, staff, students, and leaders shaping what comes next.

I’m grateful to have shared these conversations through institutions and organizations including UMSL and the Missouri Institute of Mental Health, Columbia College, William Woods University, Westminster College, Lindenwood University.

Higher education changed the trajectory of my own life. As a first-generation college student who later became a professor and C-suite leader, I know how powerful it can be when someone helps you trust your voice and see a future you haven’t imagined yet.

My hope is always that people leave feeling seen, supported, and equipped with practical ways to build trust - within themselves, across their teams, and throughout their campus communities.

Getting to support the people doing this important work is something I never take for granted.

Child care is the strategy behind every other job.

Yesterday, I had the honor of opening the Child Care Aware of America Leadership Institute in Kansas City, with leaders from 39 states, including someone who traveled from Alaska, to support families through enormous pressure and uncertainty.

During my keynote, Trust Is the Strategy: Leading Child Care’s Network Through Disruption, and our interactive breakout, we explored practical ways to strengthen self-trust, leadership trust, and organizational trust.

Former Kansas City Mayor Sly James also shared powerful perspective on child care’s impact on families, businesses, and communities.

For me, that impact is personal.

I became a psychologist, a vice president, and a leader while raising my children because I had a place I could trust with them. Behind every opportunity I pursued were people caring for the people I love most.

I don’t take that for granted.

Lisa Caudle, thank you for the care you put into planning this gathering and welcoming me into it.

Robin Phillips, thank you for hearing me speak and recommending me for this community. Putting your trust behind my work means so much.

Susan Gail Perry, thank you for your warm welcome and your leadership as CEO of Child Care Aware of America. It was an honor to support the network you lead.

And to everyone who keeps showing up for families: your work has a place in stories like mine, even when you never get to hear them.

How has child care helped make your career possible?

Y’all, I have something special to celebrate! 🎉

My dear friend Carrie Lupoli’s podcast is up for a Signal Award, and I’m so grateful to have been a guest on her show. ❤️

Our episode, “She Lost 90 Pounds and Still Didn’t Feel Confident: Here’s Why,” gets personal.

For years, I thought confidence would come with the next accomplishment. The Ph.D. The leadership title. The weight loss.

And then I reached those goals and realized I still had work to do in how I saw, spoke to, and trusted myself.

Carrie and I talked honestly about the inner critic, the pressure to keep proving ourselves, and why so many women can accomplish so much and still question whether they’re enough.

Because self-trust grows through the way we show up for ourselves, including on the days when doubt comes along.

Getting to have that conversation with a dear friend made it even more meaningful. And now I’d love to help celebrate Carrie and the conversations she’s bringing into the world.
