14. Lindsey Simcik on Finding Your Rhythm in Motherhood, Navigating Change & Trusting Your Timing

If you’ve ever felt the pressure of motherhood or the pain of losing a friend, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone. Britt sits down with Lindsey Simcik, creator, writer, and co-founder of Almost 30, for an honest exploration of identity, evolution, and self-trust through life’s biggest transitions. Together they reflect on how friendship, career, and motherhood can challenge who we thought we were and invite us into deeper alignment with who we’re becoming. Lindsey shares how she’s learned to release control, redefine success, and honor her body’s pace, while Britt opens up about slowing down, re-evaluating values, and embracing the unknown. This episode is a gentle reminder that transformation isn’t about losing yourself, but about meeting each new season with compassion, curiosity, and faith in your own timing.
