Life Empowered Living with Celeste Cuffie
Work-Life Design, Pivoting, and Permission with Dr. Laci Robbins
Let’s be honest: the myth of work-life balance is holding us back. Dr. Laci Robbins joins Celeste Cuffie for a conversation about designing life on your own terms, leaning into intentionality, and giving yourself permission to pivot—even when everyone’s watching. If you’ve ever felt guilty for outsourcing help, worn out by juggling too many roles, or uncertain about changing direction in business or life, this episode is going to bust some myths wide open.
Dr. Laci unpacks how she and her husband built systems that blend marriage, parenting, ministry, and leadership without losing themselves. She tells the story of how a moment of crisis led her to ask, “What would I do if I couldn’t fail?” The result: a career and family life that thrive through rhythm, grace, and the courage to start over.
Have you ever wondered what it really takes to pivot confidently or buy back your time without apology? Tune in for tips on designing a life and a legacy you actually want.
Episode Highlights:
20:55 – What's the one thing that you are going to be able to buy back your time with? So for some people, it may not be getting their house clean. They don't mind it. It's therapeutic for them. But maybe it's like, you don't want to take the time to get your car washed, so you get the little monthly subscription to get your car washed, whatever it might be. I encourage everybody, just take that, pick that one thing, find your thing, and then double down on it.
24:12 - Choice is the most powerful thing in the world. And so I choose me. I choose to show up authentically, which I find ironic is one of your words that you listed for me. And I also choose to, when I am someone's friend, like, we love you and Sheldon, as you know. And so when I am someone's friend, I am 100% love hard. I'm the one that's in the corner cheering what is happening. I'm there and I think I have received that in return, and I'm grateful for that. Because the seeds we plant today become the harvest we receive in the future.
37:13 – I think the biggest thing I want people to walk away with when it comes to legacy, it's one that can be created. So we all are creating a legacy, be it good or bad. Just with the choices we're making now. And my mother often says that she wants her ceiling to be my floor. And so I've taken the same position. So the experiences that I'm creating... That's legacy. We are living legacies.
