  • Decentering Work

    Is work your whole life? 👀

    Everyone’s talking about decentering men. But for a lot of women in leadership, the thing we’ve really been centering is work.

    In this episode, Lindsey gets into what happens when your job becomes your identity, and how to start taking yourself back without caring less or quitting. You’ll learn:

    ✨ How hearing the phrase “decentering men” helped Lindsey realize what she’d been centering all along
    ✨ The one big difference between decentering work and quiet quitting

    ✨ The sneaky everyday signs that your self-worth is tied to your job
    ✨ Three ways to start Recentering yourself on Monday morning

    If you’re burnt out, running on empty or can’t remember who you are outside of your job title, this one’s for you.

    Because the world will always want you to center work and productivity. But you don’t have to. You were a whole person before the job title, and you’ll be one after it too. 🩷

  • Mid-Year Review: What Do You Actually Want Next?

    Lindsey is traveling this week, so she's bringing back an episode from the archive. But the timing couldn't be better...

    Between mid-year review season and that back to school energy in the air, it's the perfect moment to actually ask yourself what you want next.

    Whether that's reimagining your current role or considering something totally different, this episode gives you the clarity Lindsey's clients have been finding on their own calls lately.

    And no, you don't need January 1st for any of this. New year energy starts whenever you decide it does.

  • Are You Curious?

    Everyone talks about curiosity like it's a personality trait. This week Lindsey is telling you it's a leadership strategy. And honestly? It's kind of a genius one.

    We're getting into:

    - How to use questions instead of statements to actually get buy-in

    - How to manage up without losing your mind

    - How to get your ideas heard by the people who matter (yes, even the ego-driven ones).

    And of course, we're not skipping the part where Lindsey turns it around and asks YOU a few questions, because none of this works if you're not in the right headspace to ask them in the first place.

  • The Right Leader? She Doesn't Exist.

    In this episode, Lindsey is calling out the thing nobody in leadership development wants to admit: the "right leader" doesn't exist. She never did.

    If you've been killing it at work but still feel like something is missing — like the success is real but it doesn't quite feel like yours — this episode is going to explain exactly why. And it's probably not what you think.

    Lindsey gets into the three ways this shows up for high achieving women, why it makes complete sense that you ended up here, and what it's actually costing you — plus how to start trusting your own leadership style instead.

    If you've ever had that Sunday feeling that something is just... off, even when everything looks fine on paper — this one's for you.

  • Why Delegating Feels So Hard

    Delegation sounds like a strategy. Assign the task. Set the deadline. Move on.

    So why does it feel so… hard?

    In this episode, Lindsey talks about what no one tells you about delegation: it’s not just about handing things off - it’s about what handing things off brings up.

    If you’ve ever found yourself redoing a task you just delegated, over explaining because you need it done right, or quietly panicking that people might think you're lazy for asking for help... then this episode is for you.

  • You’re Not Meant to Balance It All (What to Aim for Instead)

    Balance? Who is she? In this episode, Lindsey is redefining the outdated idea of work-life balance and offering something that actually makes sense in real life: Work-Life Intentions. She unpacks why the pursuit of perfect balance leaves so many women feeling like they’re falling short, and how shifting into intention gives you something way more powerful. If you’ve ever felt guilty for working too much, not working enough, or just being a human with a life… this one’s for you!

  • Are Women Holding Women Back at Work?

    In this episode, Lindsey dives into a topic that’s been quietly shaping how women navigate leadership — the way we’ve been conditioned to see other women as competition instead of collaborators.

    From media narratives that pit women against each other to the unconscious judgments we carry, it’s time to unpack the ways we might be holding each other back. Lindsey shares five common ways this shows up, from the double standards placed on women in leadership to the scarcity mindset that fuels competition.

    But it’s not about blame — it’s about awareness. Because when we recognize these patterns, we can change them. Lindsey also opens up about the importance of acknowledging privilege and amplifying diverse voices in these conversations. It’s a call to shift from tearing each other down to building each other up.

    If you’re ready to challenge old beliefs and embrace a more supportive, empowered way of leading, this episode is for you. Let’s break free from the narratives that no longer serve us — together!
