What's Next? With Lacey
What’s Next? With Lacey is your backstage pass into the careers you think you’re curious about but don’t actually understand.
Ever catch yourself Googling “what does a Account Manager do?” or “how do I even get into that industry?” Same. That’s why this podcast exists.
Every two weeks, Lacey sits down with young professionals across all kinds of industries — from health tech to entertainment to whatever job you’ve seen on LinkedIn and thought: wait, is that real? It’s like an informational interview without the awkward LinkedIn DM.
They talkday-to-day realities, internships, career pivots and how they got their foot in the door — with zero jargon and all the honest advice you wish someone had told you sooner.
Whether you're job-hunting, soul-searching, or just nosy about what people actually do all day, this is the podcast to help you figure out what’s next.

What's Next: English Teacher & PhD Grad
This week Lacey speaks with Natalie, a High School English Teacher who has recently finished her PhD. If you are remotely interested in either of these paths, this is the episode for you. Natalie is so evidently passionate about being a teacher and about being a student that Lacey was almost convinced to switch everything up and head back to school.
In their conversation, they discussed the day to day of being a teacher, how she developed her teaching style, the nitty gritty of the final stages of her PhD and, of course, Lacey gets Natalie's advice on all of the above.
Enjoy!
