As this year comes to a close, I wanted to share an episode that gets to the heart of why this podcast exists.

Real change doesn’t start out there. It starts inside.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of doing our own inner work — noticing the stories we carry, especially from earlier in life, and choosing to engage with them instead of letting them quietly run the show.

I share what has helped me most over the past several years, including therapy, learning to separate facts from old fears, identifying my values, and understanding that other people’s behavior is often about their own pain — not ours.

We talk about:

• Why awareness is the first step to real change
• How old patterns can show up in our reactions today
• The power of slowing down when we feel triggered
• Letting go of what isn’t ours to carry
• Building a bench of resources that support growth

I also leave you with a few gentle reflection questions you can carry with you — no pressure to fix anything, just an invitation to notice.

This is a grounding, honest episode to help you close the year with more clarity, compassion, and intention.

Fear has a way of holding us back — often disguised as logic, perfectionism, or “playing it safe.” But what would change if you started making decisions based on what you want, not what you’re afraid of?

In this episode of Inside Work with Lindy: Helping you grow and lead with confidence, I’m talking about one of my core values — courage — and how I’ve learned (and continue learning) to choose courage over fear in my personal life.

You’ll hear:
✔️ How to recognize when fear is quietly driving your decisions
✔️ The difference between being careful and being stuck
✔️ What small, daily acts of courage really look like
✔️ Why trusting yourself is the foundation of bravery
✔️ A simple reflection exercise to help you make choices from courage instead of fear

Courage isn’t about being fearless — it’s about showing up anyway. And every time you do, you build confidence, trust, and a deeper connection to who you really are.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to take small, brave steps that move you toward the life you actually want — one decision at a time.

Advocating for yourself at work isn’t easy — but it’s one of the most important skills you can build if you want to grow your career with confidence.

In this episode of Inside Work with Lindy: Helping you grow and lead with confidence, I’m sharing practical ways to speak up for what you need at work — whether it’s support, training, or fair compensation — and how to handle it if the answer is “not yet.”

You’ll learn:
✔️ How to ask for the resources or clarity you need to do your best work
✔️ When and how to ask for training or development opportunities
✔️ Smart, respectful ways to approach compensation conversations — including how to research salary ranges and come prepared
✔️ What to do (and how to stay confident) if your request isn’t approved right away

This is something I’ve personally worked on — and continue to practice — and I’ve learned that advocating for yourself isn’t about being demanding; it’s about being intentional. It’s about knowing your value, communicating clearly, and taking ownership of your career growth.
