In this episode of The OBM Show (also available to watch on YouTube), I sit down with Accredited OBM Lindsay Connolly, a former NYC fashion executive turned remote OBM working from Belgium, to unpack her incredible journey from corporate leadership to building a purpose-driven, high-value business.

Lindsay didn’t start as a VA or test the waters with small freelance gigs. She made a clear, intentional leap into the OBM role—charging premium rates from day one and designing a business that fits her life, not the other way around. In this conversation, she shares the mindset shifts, systems, and real-world strategies that helped her confidently step into a new career with clarity and conviction.

We talk about:

• What prompted Lindsay’s career pivot and how a move abroad became the catalyst for change
• How OBM Week and the OBM School Accelerator gave her the tools and confidence to start strong
• Her approach to pricing, setting boundaries, and sticking to $100/hr—even when it felt scary
• What her business looks like today: a 25-hour workweek, premium clients, and clear systems
• The identity shift that came with this work—and how it’s transformed her presence at home and in business

If you’ve ever felt unsure whether your skills can “translate” into the online world, or you’re craving a business built around your values and life—this episode will give you the clarity, inspiration, and proof that you already have what it takes.
