ANECDOTE

Post-Launch Reflection And Celebration

Lindsey reflected on launching her book after two years of work and chose to celebrate the moment rather than obsess over metrics.
She described the book tour as intimate and deeply rewarding when readers shared how it landed for them.

INSIGHT

Use Emotional Timing To Decide

Lindsey uses Human Design to time decisions and interpret emotional waves for clearer choices.
She waits 24–36 hours after emotional highs or lows to let truth settle before acting.

ADVICE

Prioritize Deep Focus And Daily Discipline

Narrow your focus to one long-term creative project to go deep rather than scattering energy across many launches.
Show up daily even when uninspired because consistency produces the gems in creative work.

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.

QUOTABLES:

“ I can be very personable energetically, and so when I have that space, it allows for so much of my own clarity and wisdom to drop through and for that channel to be so clean and clear for that to come through so I'm not, you know, inadvertently, or even sometimes unconsciously, tapping into things that may not even be mine.” - Julie Solomon

“ Showing up when I didn't want to, and writing even when I didn't want to, was the part of the process that actually allowed the gems to come forward. 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
