The Biz Doctor

If you have ever wondered whether you can have the business, the family, and the life without burning out to pay for it, this conversation is for you. Kelly Roach joins Lauren Goldstein to talk about what it really looks like to build a business that fits around your life, not the other way around. This is not about hacks, shortcuts, or hustle culture. It is about creating freedom in a way that is sustainable, human, and rooted in trust. Together, they explore a different way of building: staying close to your market instead of hiding behind automation, designing a business that supports real life, and choosing consistency over constant pressure. The result is not less ambition. It is more spaciousness, clarity, and confidence as a leader. In this episode, we dig into: Why automating too early can quietly pull you away from the people you want to serveHow rebuilding real connection with your audience makes selling feel lighter and more naturalThe Miracle Hour concept and how a steady daily rhythm can reduce stress and burnoutA reframe of selling as leadership, service, and invitation, not forceAn honest conversation about whether scaling is actually aligned with the life you wantResources Mentioned: Listen to The Kelly Roach Show for weekly conversations on leadership, sales, and building a 1% life: https://kellyroachinternational.com/podcast/Connect with Kelly on Instagram and start a real conversation in the DMs: https://www.instagram.com/kellyroachofficial/This is not about doing more or pushing harder.
