Business Growth and Family Balance With Kelly Roach

I Heart My Life Show

In this powerful episode of the I Heart My Life Show, host Emily Williams sits down with renowned entrepreneur, business coach, and bestselling author Kelly Roach. Kelly shares her journey from working long hours in corporate America to building a multi-million-dollar business that empowers entrepreneurs to achieve financial and lifestyle freedom. In a deeply personal conversation, Kelly reflects on her early life, the turning points that shaped her career, and the lessons she’s learned about scaling businesses, creating impact, and achieving work-life balance.

Kelly opens up about her "naked in the lunch line" moment—an early experience that fueled her desire to create a life of empowerment and control. She shares how she went from managing a $50 million portfolio at a Fortune 500 company to launching her coaching empire, Kelly Roach Coaching, and how her faith and values have guided her in creating multiple thriving businesses, including The Unstoppable Entrepreneur.

Through this inspiring conversation, Kelly and Emily discuss the importance of making intentional decisions, the balance between achievement and family life, and the power of faith in overcoming limiting beliefs.

• The Power of Decision: A single decision can change the course of your life. It’s about cutting off other options and committing fully to your path.

• Balancing Business and Family: Kelly shares her approach to creating boundaries in business so that family remains a top priority.

• Scaling with Purpose: With a portfolio of six companies, Kelly emphasizes the importance of building businesses that serve not only financial goals but also a deeper mission to contribute to the world.

Host, Emily Williams is a success expert, author, speaker, and CEO of multiple brands.

After falling into a quarter-life crisis and struggling through a string of low-paying jobs (including serving up lattes at Starbucks), she finally decided it was time to follow her heart. So she packed her bags, moved to London (where she knew no one), and launched her own coaching business, I Heart My Life (without knowing if she’d ever make a dime). And that’s when her whole life changed course.

In her first month in business, Emily earned $442. She then went on to hit 6 figures before her 30th birthday, and—after just 18 months—successfully scaled what she'd started to a multi-million dollar empire.

Today, she remains the CEO of I Heart My Life, which has evolved into a media, educational and lifestyle brand through which she carries out her mission of helping thousands of women worldwide to create a life better than their dreams.
