900. What Almost 30 taught me about being almost 40

In this solo episode, Lindsey reflects on what years of personal growth have really taught her as she approaches 40—and the lessons from Almost 30 that changed how she sees herself, success, relationships, and her own path. She gets honest about intuition, healing, ambition, and the pressure to constantly become “better,” sharing the mindset shifts that have helped her trust herself more and stop chasing an idea of who she is supposed to be. From learning to listen to her body to realizing there is no finish line, Lindsey explores what happens when you let your life evolve—and start choosing fulfillment, purpose, and inner peace over constantly trying to arrive. We also talk about: Why your intuition often whispers before your life has to scream The difference between healing yourself + remembering who you already are Breaking free from the self-improvement trap How the quality of your relationships shapes the quality of your life Learning to listen to your body before burnout takes over How Lindsey’s definition of ambition has changed Why discernment matters when you consume endless advice Getting comfortable with uncertainty instead of needing all the answers Why most things that feel like emergencies eventually become perspective Letting your dream life evolve into something simpler + more meaningful Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseysimcik/ Substack: https://momplex.substack.com Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

In this solo episode, Lindsey reflects on what years of personal growth have really taught her as she approaches 40—and the lessons from Almost 30 that changed how she sees herself, success, relationships, and her own path.

She gets honest about intuition, healing, ambition, and the pressure to constantly become “better,” sharing the mindset shifts that have helped her trust herself more and stop chasing an idea of who she is supposed to be.

From learning to listen to her body to realizing there is no finish line, Lindsey explores what happens when you let your life evolve—and start choosing fulfillment, purpose, and inner peace over constantly trying to arrive.


We also talk about: 

  • Why your intuition often whispers before your life has to scream
  • The difference between healing yourself + remembering who you already are
  • Breaking free from the self-improvement trap
  • How the quality of your relationships shapes the quality of your life
  • Learning to listen to your body before burnout takes over
  • How Lindsey’s definition of ambition has changed
  • Why discernment matters when you consume endless advice
  • Getting comfortable with uncertainty instead of needing all the answers
  • Why most things that feel like emergencies eventually become perspective
  • Letting your dream life evolve into something simpler + more meaningful
