WATCH ME with Renee Carbone Fleming

**The Price of Waiting for Permission and the Power of Becoming Visible Anyway** What happens when a woman stops waiting to feel confident, stops explaining every decision, and starts building the life she knows she is capable of creating? In this episode of **Notes From the Edge**, Lisa Lacy sits down with award-winning entrepreneur, author, podcast host, and founder of the **Badass Queen™** movement, **Renee Carbone Fleming**. Renee filed for bankruptcy. Her marriage ended. She found herself rebuilding from the ground up and made a two-word decision that would shape everything that followed: **Watch me.** That decision became a philosophy, a movement, and the foundation of the **WATCH ME Method™**, Renee’s five-principle operating system for women who are done seeking permission, shrinking their ambitions, and waiting for approval before taking action. Renee went on to build a direct-sales organization that generated more than $13 million, lead a team of over 400 people, create a multimillion-dollar brand empire, publish three books, launch the **Unapologetically Badass** podcast, and see her brand featured on the NASDAQ billboard in Times Square. In this bold and honest conversation, Lisa and Renee explore: • What reinvention really looks like before the success story becomes polished • Why overexplaining quietly weakens a woman’s authority • The hidden emotional and financial cost of waiting for approval • Why confidence is the result of execution, not the requirement for it • How women can become visible before they feel completely ready • What Renee had to survive, release, and rebuild between bankruptcy and success • How to stop asking others to approve the future you are creating This is a conversation for every woman who has ever known she was capable of more but kept waiting for permission to prove it. **Connect with Renee Carbone Fleming:** https://badassqueen.co **Connect with Lisa Lacy:** https://www.lisalacy.com Welcome to the edge.
