In this episode, I’m sharing something that’s been seven years in the making. I recorded this one from the desert to emphasize what happens when you give yourself the gift of space - not just an escape from the mundane or the chaotic, but a chance to actually slow down, reflect, and pinpoint where you may be living in survival mode. I know I did for longer than I needed to. We talk about what operating in hyper-vigilance does to your system, your mind, and your reality and how to shift into feeling safe and calm. We unpack how I’ve personally been reclaiming my energy, starting with who gets access to it - physically, mentally, and even digitally. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly treading water, this one’s for you. It’s possible that you no longer need to claw your way out, but instead are standing on the beautiful foundation you built. Here are the Highlights:(00:58) Hello from Joshua Tree(04:58) The hamster wheel of hyper-vigilance (09:03) Overwhelm and living from the sidelines(20:03) The weakest phrase you can ever use(22:48) Understanding the value of pausing our efforts (33:12) Identifying energy leaks allowing access to ourselves (34:23)A social media exercise that will change your lifeResources:Join SJ’s Spring Writing Retreat: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK! 5/7-5/9 in Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

In this episode, I’m unpacking what maturity really means to me beyond the surface stuff and straight into how we treat ourselves, show up for our future selves, and stop living for everyone else’s comfort first.

I used to think self-care was something I had to figure out completely on my own, but after many burnouts, realized I’d taken it too far. It became clear the version of self-care we’re fed by society might be quietly wearing us down and that it’s missing a few critical complements. On the flipside, I’m sharing a key element to self-care and well-being: self-preservation. I dive deep into how to set standards that protect not only your peace, but your overall wellness. I share how saying “no” and letting people go has become a staple in my self-care and one of the most caring things we can do for ourselves. This episode is honest, unfiltered, and might just shift the way you treat your own well-being.Here are the Highlights:(02:21) The misconceptions about self-care(06:10) The role of relationships in self-care(14:29) What is self-preservation and why is it so important?(32:51) Some practical steps for self-preservation(36:02) Community’s role in all of this(36:23) Learning your limits and setting boundariesFollow Lindsey Marie (formally Lindsey Schwartz) on Instagram: @LindseyMarieOfficial Learn more about Lindsey’s Powerhouse Women event HEREResources:Join SJ’s Spring Writing Retreat: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK! 5/7-5/9 in Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

In this episode I’m sharing the two biggest shifts that helped me go from flailing with anxiety in relationships to feeling insanely secure.Attachment theory changed how I show up in love, friendships, and even how I treat the most important person in my life: myself.

We’re keepin’ it real today, folks.

I’ve never really shared the full story behind why I stopped drinking, but in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain. It wasn’t a rock bottom moment or dramatic wake-up call—it was a quiet but certain knowing that alcohol just wasn’t part of who I wanted to be anymore. I talk about how booze impacts the brain, the sneaky ways it shaped my decisions, and the emotional fog it kept me in for years.There’s also grief. Grief for the old version of me, for the connections and habits I had to leave behind. I get into the root of addiction, the habit loop we get stuck in, and the shame and co-dependency that can live underneath it all. This one’s honest, layered, and straight from the heart.Here are the Highlights:(01:28)-Why I went sober (from alcohol)(07:30)-How alcohol affects the brain(12:38)-Unpacking addiction and its root cause (20:13)-The grief that comes with with sobriety (28:02)-The habit loop in addictive behaviors (31:19)-Shame and co-dependency (33:05)-The relationship between drinking and suppressed emotions For more information on sobriety, follow LHP Author, Kaitlin Henry’s podcast, Step Zero HEREResources:Join SJ’s Spring Writing Retreat: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK! 5/7-5/9 in Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

Ever felt like you're hiding pieces of yourself, worried about what others might think? In this special episode, I'm sharing my opening Keynote from our annual event, FEMPOWERED where we explored the powerful theme of that year: “Exposed”.I’m my experience of over 8 years in entrepreneurship and building my dream business and life, I have personally experienced the many levels - and devils - of expansion. There are four clear bridges on this journey that one needs to cross in order to evolve in success and fulfilment. Shame - getting honest with yourself about where you are holding yourself back and the stories that are keeping you hidden. Crossing this bridge means owning every piece of you, being seen in it, and letting it go so it no longer holds power over you Judgment - facing not only the judgment from others but more importantly, the judgment of self. Crossing this bridge means being brave enough to build the muscle of not caring what people think and staying rooted in your truth; not getting knocked off your path so you can live your purpose.Loss - specifically we speak to the relationships or opportunities that end along the path of evolution and the universal truth that anything that doesn’t work out or is destroyed simply creates re- alignment; how often times loss occurs to get us to MOVE. Crossing this bridge means staying the path regardless of who wants to leave. Responsibility - taking ownership of why we are born and what we’re here to do is our responsibility as human born in the odds of 1 in 400 trillion, and how denying them is the reason we feel friction. Crossing this bridge means opening up about and sharing our god-given gifts to the world. Here are the Highlights:The Importance of Being Seen (1:33)Confronting Shame (4:16)Navigating Judgment (7:02)Embracing Loss (9:22)Taking Responsibility (12:34)Expansion and the Human Experience (13:42) Follow @fempowered.events on Instagram  Resources:Join SJ’s Spring Writing Retreat: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK! 5/7-5/9 in Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

In this episode we unlock a massive key to freedom - learning how to create regulated nervous system responses to our outside world. I break down the cascade of events that occur during a trigger or “activation” and how to bring awareness to these responses at the root.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it means to use your voice and live in truth, even when it feels uncomfortable. I talk about a recent coaching session with a potential author and why the journey to self-expression is so personal. Speaking up, being seen, and standing in your truth can bring fear, but it’s where real change begins.I reflect on the patterns we carry, the stories we believe, and how conflict often shows up to push us toward growth. I also get honest about the fear of being judged and the shift that happens when you choose respect for yourself over approval from others.If you’ve ever felt the pull toward something bigger but held yourself back, this conversation is for you.

What if loss wasn’t something to fear but something to celebrate? In this episode,  I take you behind the scenes of my keynote at FEMpowered, where I explored how loss isn’t an ending—it’s an opening. Whether it’s relationships, beliefs, or old identities, every loss creates space for something new, and learning to detach from outdated narratives is the key to real freedom.I share my personal process for embracing loss, navigating the discomfort of stepping into a bigger version of myself, and trusting that what’s meant for us will always align. If you’ve ever felt like shedding the old is messy, uncertain, or even painful, this episode is your reminder that the most powerful transformations happen when we let go.Here are the highlights:(3:35) The Process of Preparing a Keynote(5:45) The Theme of Loss and Personal Growth(9:39) Embracing Imperfection and Personal Responsibility(12:28) The Impact of Living Authentically(17:36) Choosing Yourself and Moving ForwardResources:Join SJ’s Spring Writing Retreat: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK! 5/7-5/9 in Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.
