In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Powerhouse Women, Lindsey Schwartz.

Lindsey Schwartz is an author, investor, master community builder, and the founder of Powerhouse Women. Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students.

After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don’t have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone! We dive deep into Lindsey’s journey of building this community, re-evaluating relationships with productivity and self-care along the way, and reminding you that stillness is often a necessity on the way to exponential growth. We know you’re going to love this episode as much as we did!
