I'm chatting with Lindsey Spelyng, founder + CEO of MamaCommon, a membership platform for growth-minded and time-strapped women to flourish in all seasons of motherhood.

She spent 16 years working in pharmaceutical marketing, which ultimately led her to a fork in the road - stick with the career she knew, or to follow her heart that told her other women needed help and resources, as she did, to flourish more in motherhood.

She celebrates authenticity and vulnerability in herself and others more than anything, which is what she's creating in her community.

In this episode, we discuss:
