Episode 287: The Systems That Help You Build a Life That Scales | Staci Gray | Founder, Organize to Scale
What does it really take to grow a business and brand with integrity, without selling out? In this episode, Kara talks with Staci Gray about building teams that thrive, the mistakes leaders often make, and what it means to lead with both clarity and compassion. In this episode, I talk with Staci, founder of Organized to Scale, about how ambitious people get stuck, why systems like SOPs and checklists unlock freedom, and how embodying the person you need to be starts with organizing yourself first. We unpack how overachievers often skip rest, how journaling your wins and worries builds self-trust, and why restoring your home base—your dinner table—is the secret to sustainable growth. If you’ve ever felt like your life or business was one giant game of whack-a-mole, this conversation will help you exhale, get real, and take aligned action.
“You can’t organize and scale your business unless you organize and scale yourself. ”
