Ever feel the pressure to peak in your 20s or 30s? In this solo, Lindsey gives us all permission to slow down and trust the timing of our lives.

There is an ever-increasing expectation that success should be achieved in our youth, and Lindsey explains exactly why this is a faulty perception. 

Ahead, Lindsey challenges myths surrounding who we should be “by now,” sharing her evolution as a mother, a creative, and a spiritual woman. She invites you into her process of letting go, embracing the unknown, and savoring the ‘in-betweens’ instead of anxiously chasing what’s next. 

Lindsey also explores the power of divine timing, the misconception that youth is your creative peak, and the gifts of emotional growth. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re “too late” or missing your purpose, this episode is a loving nudge to honor your soul’s unique pace—it’s for a reason!

We also talk about:

  • Why your dreams + manifestations aren’t reserved for your 20s + 30s  
  • Releasing the anxiety of having to “figure it all out” ASAP  
  • Embracing motherhood as a portal for creative expansion  
  • How meditation + mindfulness anchor you during times of change  
  • The myth of the “peak decade” + why your best years are always ahead  
  • The power of process—and why rushing divine timing robs you of joy  
  • Lessons from icons like Oprah, Leonard Cohen, and Toni Morrison  
  • The link between aging, wisdom, and emotional regulation  
  • How to find fulfillment by being present with what you’ve already created
