What makes Chatham feel like home — even after traveling the world? In this episode of Chatham Coffee Tour, Barb Garside talks with entrepreneur and educator Lindsay Bierwirth about growing up in Chatham, exploring the world through travel and teaching, and eventually returning to Cape Cod to build a life centered around family and community.

Lindsay shares stories from her years abroad, working internationally through college, and her transition from teaching Spanish to launching Chatham Works alongside her husband Fred. Together, they built a wellness and coworking space designed specifically to support year-round Cape Cod residents and local businesses.

The conversation also explores Lindsay’s personal health journey, including her experiences with stomach cancer and breast cancer, and how organizations like Cape Wellness Collaborative helped support her through recovery.

If you love stories about entrepreneurship, resilience, wellness, and Cape Cod community life, this episode is a must-listen.
