They Told Her She Couldn’t—So She Built a School Anyway with Lindsay Jacobi

Listen Later

What do you do when the dream on your heart doesn’t make sense to anyone else?

In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsay Jacobi, founder of Acton Academy Morristown and creator of the Glow Up Collective, who shares the story of how she built a school—while raising three young children, including a newborn—despite being told she wasn’t qualified and that it couldn’t be done. 

This conversation is about more than entrepreneurship—it’s about trusting yourself when your vision doesn’t fit inside traditional expectations.

We talk about:

  • What it really looks like to pursue a “big” dream in the middle of motherhood
  • How to move forward when others don’t understand (or support) your vision
  • The mindset shift that allowed her to keep going despite doubt
  • Why you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin

    • And one of the most powerful reminders from this episode:

    You don’t have to blow up your life to start moving in the direction of your dream.

    If you’ve been feeling the pull toward something more—but questioning whether it’s realistic, responsible, or even possible — this episode will meet you right there and expand what you believe is available to you.
