Hey, friends. Welcome back 00:00:42.619 --> 00:00:44.939 to Leveling Up with Lindsay. I'm Lindsay and 00:00:44.939 --> 00:00:46.439 today we're talking about something that gives 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.479 me goosebumps every time I say it out loud. I 00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:51.640 didn't start my boutique just to sell clothes 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.100 and I didn't launch this podcast just to be heard. 00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.679 Everything I've created every late night, every 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.179 live sale, every leadership meeting, it's to 00:01:00.179 --> 00:01:03.560 be rooted in one simple but very powerful truth. 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.079 I want to make an impact. I want to make people 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.560 feel seen. I want women to believe in their strengths. 00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:12.780 I want my daughters to grow up to watch a mom 00:01:12.780 --> 00:01:15.879 who chased her calling with fire in her soul. 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.439 And I want every single person who crossed paths 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:21.540 with white peony or this podcast to leave a little 00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:24.480 more empowered than they came in. That's my why. 00:01:24.659 --> 00:01:26.920 That's why I get up on the hard days. That's 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.299 what keeps me going when imposter syndromes whispers 00:01:30.299 --> 00:01:33.459 far too loud. If you're listening and thinking, 00:01:33.790 --> 00:01:36.069 I'm building something too and it feels personal, 00:01:36.069 --> 00:01:39.310 it feels deeper. Friend, this episode is for 00:01:39.310 --> 00:01:42.390 you. There's a difference between hustling for 00:01:42.390 --> 00:01:46.230 survival and building something with meaning. 00:01:46.870 --> 00:01:48.930 Being a purpose -driven entrepreneur doesn't 00:01:48.930 --> 00:01:51.670 mean you never doubt yourself, trust me. It means 00:01:51.670 --> 00:01:54.829 you keep showing up because you know that your 00:01:54.829 --> 00:01:57.269 work matters. Your business, your brand, your 00:01:57.269 --> 00:02:00.409 voice, it's meant to help, serve, connect, heal, 00:02:00.950 --> 00:02:03.879 spark something in others. Your business, your 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.439 brand, your voice, it's meant to help, to serve, 00:02:07.939 --> 00:02:11.080 to connect, heal, spark something in others. 00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:14.120 You're not just here to climb a ladder. You're 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.460 here to build a bridge for others to walk across. 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.139 That kind of building takes absolute guts. It 00:02:20.139 --> 00:02:22.219 takes faith and it takes trusting your small 00:02:22.219 --> 00:02:25.379 steps to hold weight. You never know the ripple 00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:28.539 effect of your work and that's okay because purpose 00:02:28.539 --> 00:02:31.639 isn't always loud. Sometimes it's quiet, steady, 00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:34.300 it's unshakable. If you're in the messy middle, 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.659 figuring out your path, your offer, your audience, 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.539 hear me out. You don't have to figure it all 00:02:39.539 --> 00:02:43.139 out to be purpose -driven. You just have to care. 00:02:43.539 --> 00:02:46.659 And I mean really care. You just have to want 00:02:46.659 --> 00:02:49.300 your work to matter. You have to keep showing 00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:51.439 up even when it's uncomfortable, even when the 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.439 numbers don't look how you hoped, even when you're 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.759 freaking tired. Because purpose is the long game. 00:02:57.849 --> 00:03:00.129 It's the heart work. It's the kind of work that 00:03:00.129 --> 00:03:03.550 lasts far longer than the numbers presented in 00:03:03.550 --> 00:03:05.810 front of you. So here's what I do know. You were 00:03:05.810 --> 00:03:08.250 given this dream for a reason. You are equipped 00:03:08.250 --> 00:03:10.110 with something that no one else has and that 00:03:10.110 --> 00:03:12.569 is your heart, your story, your way of connecting. 00:03:13.090 --> 00:03:15.569 The world doesn't need just another business. 00:03:15.650 --> 00:03:17.990 The world needs your voice. The world needs your 00:03:17.990 --> 00:03:21.409 vision. The world needs your values. Purpose 00:03:21.409 --> 00:03:23.409 isn't the cherry on top. It's the whole damn 00:03:23.409 --> 00:03:25.930 cake. So if you're out there building something 00:03:25.930 --> 00:03:28.069 rooted in meaning, If you're trying to serve 00:03:28.069 --> 00:03:30.889 people, your family, your community through your 00:03:30.889 --> 00:03:35.569 gifts, I see you. I believe in you. And I'm so 00:03:35.569 --> 00:03:38.789 proud to be with you on this journey. This podcast 00:03:38.789 --> 00:03:41.949 isn't just a place to talk strategy. It's a space 00:03:41.949 --> 00:03:45.449 to refuel your soul. Because when the business 00:03:45.449 --> 00:03:48.349 is built on purpose, guess what? You're already 00:03:48.349 --> 00:03:50.930 winning. If this spoke to you today, I'd love 00:03:50.930 --> 00:03:52.969 for you to share it with fellow dreamer or drop 00:03:52.969 --> 00:03:56.189 a review so others can find us.
