What happens when you build the empire of your dreams… only to realise you’ve lost yourself in the process?

In this episode of Diary of the Search Queen, I sit down with powerhouse strategist Lezly Kaye. Lezly went from scaling a $60M business partnership that imploded, to building her own $20M company, to walking away from it all after realising success without alignment isn’t success at all.

Lezly’s story is raw, brave, and filled with wisdom about ego, burnout, resilience, and what it really means to create a business and life that feels as good as it looks.

In this episode:

• How Lezly Kaye built and lost a $60M partnership
• The hidden costs of ego-driven success
• The moment she realised money meant nothing without happiness
• Her journey through psychedelics, breathwork, and deep healing
• Why she now helps women scale sustainably, without sacrifice

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve ever tied your worth to your revenue or results
• You’re chasing “more” but feel emptier than ever
• You’ve faced burnout or breakdown in the pursuit of success
• You’re ready to define success on your own terms
