In episode eight of Almost Iconic, Lyndsay and Sophie talk about how family background shapes an entrepreneurial mindset, reflecting on moms who either worked outside the home or stayed home in a more limited, pre-internet era. Lyndsay shares not growing up with entrepreneurial parents and wonders how her daughter Jovie, who’s now growing up around entrepreneurship, may carry that forward, while Sophie discusses balancing work and being present, setting boundaries with phones, and remembering that “there are no emergencies in makeup.” They compare support versus understanding from family, discuss how dreams require “backwards engineering” to consider season and sacrifice, and encourage listeners to pursue what God puts on their hearts despite others’ doubts. They close by sharing practical ways to support entrepreneurs—prayer, encouragement, and showing up—then end with a short prayer.00:00 Welcome Back Episode Eight00:14 Entrepreneur Roots02:59 Moms Work Then Now05:09 Boundaries With Phones06:54 Kids And Legacy10:33 Parents Encouragement Stories19:32 Support Without Understanding23:29 How To Support Entrepreneurs26:16 Prayer And Wrap UpALL LINKS BELOW:https://linktr.ee/lyndsayandsophie

In episode seven of Almost Iconic, Lyndsay and Sophie talk about the “domino effect” of showing up authentically: as they’ve gotten comfortable being “weird” together, it’s helped Lyndsay get out of a funk, feel excited to post on social media again, and even prompted her to ask for prayer. They discuss how authenticity gives others permission to be themselves, creating a ripple effect that impacts friends and children alike, especially when kids mirror what adults do rather than what they say. The conversation shifts into real-life habits and home mess, exploring the difference between “messy” and “dirty,” personality differences around cleaning, social media pressure for perfection, and finding balance in marriage. They wrap by joking about filming a domino promo, briefly discussing tech like Meta sunglasses, and ending with a prayer.

In episode six of Almost Iconic, Lyndsay and Sophie discuss how God-given discernment can feel confusing, not make sense to others, and even feel lonely, yet ultimately calls for surrender. They shout out Hannah Grace Jackson for creating their first shirts and mention their song “Taking action in the almost” streaming on Spotify. Sophie shares a story about fearing something was wrong when her husband Ben rode his motorcycle from Georgia to Pennsylvania for a military friend’s funeral; after sensing God say He sees everything and to surrender, Ben crashed on slick roads, suffered a concussion, and was helped by a truck driver who called 911. While Ben was hospitalized, Sophie also navigated her son Caleb’s severe asthma attack from afar, relying on discernment and support from family and community. They reflect on prayer, obedience, convictions, and trusting God’s protection and provision through hardship, ending with prayer.00:00 Episode Six Kickoff00:35 Merch and Song Update01:06 Discernment and Surrender Setup03:04 Ben Motorcycle Trip Story05:03 Crash Call and Helmet Moment06:46 Lessons and God Provides09:41 Caleb Asthma Emergency12:33 Everyday Discernment Prompts16:35 Conviction and Immediate Obedience20:24 Surrender and Closing Prayer22:56 Outro and Subscribe

Lyndsay and Sophie welcome their first guest, Heather Burge, founder of Restore Collective, to discuss how her faith journey has increasingly shaped her approach to business and leadership. Heather shares her early success starting a boutique after college, her “come to my knees” realization of dependence on God, and key turning points that helped her become more bold and transparent about faith in professional settings, including podcasting and speaking. They talk about resistance and spiritual opposition, the importance of community and protection through faith, and Heather’s marriage growth with her husband Roger through the Walk to Emmaus retreat. Heather encourages entrepreneurs to stay rooted in identity, avoid comparison and conformity, and serve from a deep burden for others. The episode closes with a prayer and plans for a part two.

In episode four of Almost Iconic, Sophie and Lyndsay talk about what happens when you fully embrace your “weird” instead of letting society, anxiety, and “shoulds” mold you into someone else. They share how authenticity brings freedom, joy, and helps others feel safe to be themselves, while noting that trying to mimic someone else’s personality can feel inauthentic. The conversation includes light tangents about being a good friend (like pointing out lipstick on teeth), quirks people love in relationships, hitting an evening “wall,” setting and communicating boundaries with family, and not taking others’ moods personally. They also discuss a give-and-take between empathy and not dimming who you are. The episode closes with a prayer asking God to help listeners feel seen and heard.

In this episode of Almost Iconic, Lyndsay and Sophie talk about how painful middle-school experiences can shape identity and reactions in adulthood, inviting listeners to send in their own stories for future episodes. Lyndsay shares a humiliating classroom moment that led to a cruel nickname she carried for a long time, plus other comments about her appearance and the confusing dynamic of people being mean and then acting like friends. They also reflect on times they participated in unkindness, how words can become “bricks” in an emotional backpack, and how unprocessed hurt can make people defensive and hurt others. They discuss surrendering those burdens to God, remembering the spiritual battle behind conflict, and close with a prayer for healing and feeling seen.

In episode two of Almost Iconic, hosts Lyndsay and Sophie discuss how hormonal changes in their late 30s have affected their mood, anxiety, motivation, sleep, energy, weight, and ability to feel joyful and present with their families, including the shame and guilt that can come with feeling “not like yourself.” They describe symptoms like depression-like numbness, irritability, racing thoughts, early wake-ups, and afternoon crashes, and reflect on how these struggles have increased their empathy for others who are told to “just move more” or “eat healthier.” Lyndsay shares starting care with a hormone specialist, extensive bloodwork and body scans, and learning her testosterone, progesterone, and thyroid levels are low/off, while Sophie pursues an online hormone panel; they encourage community, listening without quick fixes, and plan to continue documenting their journeys.

Almost Iconic Ep. 1: How We Met + Taking Action in the Mess (Perimenopause, Faith, and Starting Before You’re Ready)In the first episode of Almost Iconic, Lyndsay and Sophie share how they met through their friend Heather’s company, Restore Collective, and how their friendship deepened after rooming together on a retreat where they quickly opened up about family, fears, and life. They explain how creating content together led them to start a podcast focused on “taking action in the almost,” encouraging people to show up authentically without waiting for perfection, the right setup, or a certain look. They discuss struggles with perimenopause, fatigue, mood swings, and insecurity, including Lyndsay’s upcoming hormone specialist appointment and blood work review for bioidentical hormones, plus lessons learned from her sister’s early menopause. Throughout, they emphasize praying for wisdom, surrendering to God, seeking supportive friendships, and ending the episode with a prayer for listeners.
