In today’s solo with Lindsey, she gets real about her "cringe" dating moments in her 20s and how they ultimately laid the foundation for the partnership she manifested in her 30s. If you’re ready to call in love built on trust, mutual respect, and emotional maturity, then this one is a must-listen.

Ever wondered how to tell the difference between sparks and real love? Lindsey shares why dating in her 20s was so chaotic, but how she started to understand the difference between chemistry + compatibility. Now, as she enjoys a beautiful, thriving marriage, she reveals how she got here.

Tune in for juicy insights on self-worth, setting boundaries, and embracing the sometimes mundane parts of love. Lindsey gives us the inside scoop on how she went from dating emotionally unavailable men to choosing a partner who chooses her back—every single day.
