For Lindsey Leavitt, babysitting wasn’t just a gig—it was family. As a mother’s helper and trusted caregiver to Milly & Mack during her senior year in high school, she stepped into a world that taught her more than she ever expected. Caring for two children with non-speaking autism wasn’t just about routines and responsibilities—it was about patience, deep connection, and learning to communicate beyond words.

But Lindsey’s role didn’t stop there. She was also a built-in big sis to Sarah's oldest neurotypical daughter Morgan, giving advice, sharing laughs, and being a steady presence in her life. Now, after one semester at Penn State, she reflects on how that year shaped her—the challenges, the love, and the unexpected lessons that still stay with her.

More than a paycheck. More than a babysitter. This is what real caregiving looks like. #BuiltInBigSis #Neurodiversity #LessonsInLove

In this episode, Sarah sits down with her dear and longtime friend, Amy Guzzi, for a raw and unfiltered chat about motherhood, ambition, and the art of reinvention. From their early days as sleep-deprived new moms to Amy’s evolution into a fashion powerhouse and founder of Llewellyn, they spill the tea on the highs, lows, and WTF moments along the way. They get real about comparison culture, social media pressures, and the unglamorous side of chasing dreams. Plus, Amy shares the no-BS mindset shifts that helped her juggle family, travel, and business—without totally losing her mind.

If you’ve ever felt like you're one meltdown away from losing it, this episode is your permission slip to embrace the chaos, take the damn risk, and find yourself in the process.

Hit play and get ready for some serious inspo (and maybe a laugh-cry moment or two).
