Hi, I’m Lacey (she/her), the founder of Balanced Good. As a mom of three, I get how challenging it can be to build a career as a leader in the charitable sector while balancing the demands of parenthood. 

My passion in the social profit sector, coupled with my previous in-house experience, and motherhood journey, has created a passion and motivation to truly rethink how we tackle parental leaves in the social profit space. I want parental leaves to be a celebrated life milestone, not a feared employment gap.
