In this special Mother’s Day Pep Talk, Lindsey gets real about the unseen weight of motherhood—the mental load, the exhaustion, the identity shifts, and the way it can feel like too much and not enough all at once. This is your reminder to breathe, to acknowledge your worth, and to stop minimizing what you carry. Whether you're a mom, know a mom, or are mothering yourself through something hard—this one’s for you.
You’ll hear truth, love, and permission to rest. Lindsey reflects on how personal growth often begins with simply telling the truth about how hard things are, and choosing—little by little—who you’re becoming on the other side of it all.
