Detached

Ever felt like you're just pretending, waiting for that magical moment when you finally feel like an adult? I know for many years I did. 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. When it all boils down to it, maturity is taking responsibility for the fact that we only have this one life.Tune in where I share 14 ways that I have personally stepped into true adulthood allowing me to feel more grounded, more honest, and way more at peace in my own life. It’s time to not just look like an adult on the outside, but to truly feel like one on the inside allowing you to live your best life. Here are the Highlights:(02:41) Defining maturity(06:35) Folding laundry and future-focused actions(11:48) The art of listening and practicing the pause(24:45) Prayer and not taking on others’ urgency(29:25) Balancing the masculine/feminine energy(32:33) Honesty and boundaries as expressions of loveResources: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.

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.

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.

I talk about a recent coaching session with a potential author and why the journey to self-expression is so personal.
