Lindsey Maestas: Living Easy With Lindsey!

Author: Cheryl Scruggs March 13, 2026 Duration: 38:31

Join me today as I chat with the beautiful lady Lindsey Maestas who gives us a lifeline to THRIVING!

Hi! I'm Lindsey Maestas!

But I might love you a little bit more if you call me Linds. 

I am a podcaster, entrepreneur, writer and speaker, but mostly just a multi-passionate girl who loves Jesus, loves people and loves allll the food.

Sometimes I have so much passion that it feels like I might explode – but I promise I won't. I'm in this for you and for the long haul!

If you know me, you know that I'm absolutely obsessed with my husband (Jesse) and two "baby" boys (Sutton and Saxon) and of course, our sweet puppies, Milo and Biscuit.

I never would have thought that a day spent on my couch – writing wildly personal details about my messy past of dating and my own journey through postpartum anxiety – would lead to 3 million yearly blog readers, over 400,000 podcast downloads and a community of tens of thousands of women that I get to virtually share all the secrets & all the real life with. God is good and life is cool.

I'm a firm believer that relationships change everything. Your marriage doesn't have to feel impossible. Your motherhood doesn't have to feel like a train-wreck.

The "good life" definitely does not have to be behind you. And healthy, fun, adult friendships don't have to feel impossible.

I have one goal through this ministry: to talk about the things that nobody likes to talk about in order to remind you that you are more than your mess.

We only have one life – and you don't want to just 'get by', do you? That isn't living.

You have been created for a specific purpose. It's just not satisfying to be told that 'we are enough' and to go on our way. Sometimes we just aren't enough; sometimes life is hard. I know I rarely feel as if I'm enough.

But God wants us to see Him more clearly in order to live life more abundantly. If you are looking to find that 'more to life', you came to the right place.

Every single day, I share God's truth and my heart to help you flourish in your marriage, your faith and your motherhood in a way you never have before. This is what makes me thrive. So – truly – thank you so much for being a part of this journey with me!
