You Found Her

E32: In this final episode of You Found Her (for now), I’m sharing something tender and true: why I’m pressing pause on the podcast—and why it’s actually an evolution, not an ending. Over the last year, this show has been the heartbeat of my brand and the first brave step I ever took toward building You Found Her. But as I reconnect with my own soul, my writing, and the deeper 1:1 work that lights me up, I’m being pulled toward a new season of creation.I’ll also be sharing:• Why I’m returning home to my identity as a writer and letting that lead everything I build next. • How The Artist’s Way, Big Magic, and recovering from burnout clarified my next right steps and re-oriented me toward my North Star. • Why the podcast no longer aligns with the work calling me forward—and how that decision supports deeper connection with you. • What’s coming next: my book, my 1:1 guidance offer, and future YFH retreats in Italy for ambitious women seeking reconnection and clarity. • How you can stay closely connected through my newsletter, Instagram, and future intimate containers.If you want to stay in the loop (and you know I want that too), here’s where to find me:✨ My newsletter, The Ambitious Soul — weekly letters, essays, and early chapters from my book: http://subscribepage.io/wBTEvO✨ Instagram — DM me that you’re a podcast listener so I can keep you in my inner YFH circle: https://www.instagram.com/lindsaykami ✨ 1:1 guidance — limited founding spots opening soon. ✨ Future retreats — I’m attending my first women’s retreat soon to learn & shape the YFH retreat experience for you.Thank you for listening, trusting, and walking with me.This is not goodbye.
