From Ambition to Alignment: Lindsey Simcik on Growth, Grace, and Reinvention

In this deeply honest and soul-nourishing conversation, I’m joined by my longtime friend and fellow podcast host, Lindsey Simcik of Almost 30. Together, we explore what it really means to create from alignment, honor life’s transitions, and lead from the woman you are now—not who you once were. Lindsey opens up about the journey of writing her first book with co-host Krista Williams, the vulnerability of releasing something so personal into the world, and the courage it took to sunset a successful membership in order to make space for something new. We also talk about trusting divine timing, evolving ambitions, honoring creative cycles, and making peace with the unknown. Lindsey beautifully reflects on letting go of external metrics of success in favor of deeper joy, integrity, and presence. If you’re navigating a season of growth, reinvention, or quiet clarity, this conversation is your permission slip to trust your timing, your truth, and the woman you’re becoming. Liked this episode?

You know, the writing that I really felt was, woo, okay, this is, this is something, this is really great and this is flowing, but I had to show up every single day.”- Lindsey Simcik GUEST RESOURCES: @lindseysimcik Almost 30 Podcast Get Lindsey’s book Almost 30 RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.
