Welcome to Leveling Up with Lindsay, the podcast

just looking for a little inspiration, this is
your space to feel seen, supported, and inspired.
Join me as we share stories, strategies, and
a little bit of life's chaos while while navigating
when it truly means to level up in starting a
business, relationship, and personal growth.
So grab a cup of coffee, get comfy, and let's
level up together. Hey friends, if you just listened
to my last episode, you know that I had that
absolute honor of sitting down with my mom. And
wow, that conversation meant everything to me.
I've been thinking about it a lot since we recorded,
and there's one theme that just keeps rising
to the surface, and that is belief. The belief
she had in me, even before I had it in myself,
changed absolutely everything. My mom didn't
just encourage me, she believed in me. And let
me tell you, there's a difference. Encouragement
is saying, you're doing great. And belief is
saying, I already see what you're capable of,
even when you can't see it yet. She believed
in my heart, my dreams, my work ethic, my ability
to connect with people, and when I doubted myself,
when imposter syndrome has crept in, her voice
was louder. That kind of belief plants a seed,
honestly, and it grows into confidence, into
courage, into creativity. White Pony Boutique,
this podcast, everything I'm doing right now,
so much of this exists because of that one gift.
Here's what I've realized. When someone believes
in you deeply, it teaches you to believe in others
too. and eventually it teaches you how to believe
in yourself. That's what I want for you, for
every listener here. Because no matter what stage
you are in, starting over, stepping out, growing
something from the ground up, the belief is your
fuel. And if you didn't grow up with someone
like my mom, let this episode be that that tells
you. You are strong, you are needed, you matter,
and you're exactly where you're meant to be.
So I want you to leave with two simple but very
powerful questions. One, who believed in you
when you needed it the most? Do me a favor, call
them, thank them, write it down. Let that reminder
take root again. And number two, who can you
show up for that right now? Your child, your
friend, your employee, maybe even yourself? Because
belief is contagious. And the moment you start
believing in someone else, you give permission
to rise. This was just a short solo moment, but
it felt like it needed to be said. Belief is
powerful, it is generational, and it's one of
the greatest gifts we can give, especially to
ourselves. I'll see you in the next episode,
but until then wake up, believe in your voice
and take one bold step forward to the woman you're
becoming because she's already within you. Thank
