I’m VERY excited to have a special guest, Lindsy Trotter, on the podcast today!


Lindsy has become one of my ‘business besties’, and someone I’ve loved getting to work and connect with on a deeper level. Our paths have crossed in multiple ways this year; she joined one of my masterminds + we both joined Suzy Holman’s mastermind, and we have a LOT in common (kind of feels like we have the same brain). I know this is going to be such a fun conversation!


Lindsy is a former teacher turned ‘accidental entrepreneur’ who started Chilled Freezer Meals, a meal prep business serving families locally throughout Eastern Iowa and shipping products nationwide. Lindsy built her business and saw some crazy amazing success, but she was very much stuck in that ‘hustle and grind’ mode. Her business was growing and thriving…but Lindsy? Not so much.


In today’s episode, we talk about morning sun, entrepreneurship with ADHD, what ‘burning it down’ means in business, and more. Like so many of us, Lindsy has dealt with perfectionist and overachiever tendencies, and she loved checking ALLLL the boxes. As an ADHD entrepreneur who’s an Enneagram 3, she had accomplished so much already, but was not feeling fulfilled in her business. She was struggling with what to do next, and had multiple signs telling her that something wasn’t ‘right’ in her business, with her health, etc.


She was actually ready to ‘burn it all down’ with her business. Ultimately, she knew she needed to slow down, ‘unplug’ more, and make some drastic changes in her life. Now, Lindsy has a renewed sense of excitement for her business and what’s to come – she’s truly FLOURISHING!


I know how scary it can be to take a step back and re-evaluate what’s going on in your life, but when you’re able to ‘peel’ back the layers and go deeper, you can actually come HOME to yourself. Maybe you need therapy and support with ‘feeling your feelings’, or maybe you need to slooow the f*ck down and not be hustling 24/7. Alignment doesn’t always mean ‘easy’ or ‘smooth sailing’, but you’ve got to be aware of what YOU need, and then take the steps to make that happen!


Lindsy and I have both taken big leaps and said ‘yes’ to opportunities we never thought possible. If we hadn’t, we wouldn’t be here together on this podcast, or building businesses that allow us to grow and flourish in entrepreneurship with ADHD.


I’ve been incredibly inspired by Lindsy’s journey, and I believe this conversation is something EVERY entrepreneur needs to hear – I know you’re going to love it!!


Lindsy is an accidental entrepreneur who started Chilled Freezer Meals, a meal prep business serving families locally throughout Eastern Iowa and shipping products nationwide. She’s spent the last year exploring what it means to detach from ‘hustle culture’, and start building a new way of running her business and her life. Lindsy is launching a course to teach others wanting to put their cooking skills to use, how to start a meal prep business, and begin serving their communities too.


In this episode, morning sun, entrepreneurship with adhd, and burning it down, we cover:

  • Lindsy’s journey from teacher to entrepreneur, and the full-on ‘hustle and grind’ mode she was in as she built her business

  • What Lindsy was experiencing when she knew something wasn’t quite right in her life + the necessary changes she chose to make

  • Realizing that you can’t outrun the ‘deep stuff’ or simply work harder to get better results, because it WILL catch up to you

  • When you’re misaligned/don’t know what’s next in your business, and feel like ‘burning it down’ is all that’s left to do

  • Why therapy and ‘feeling your feelings’ isn’t necessarily fun or enjoyable, but is crucial when you’re ready for the next chapter in your life

  • Lindsy’s upcoming course + what she wishes she better understood her first year in business

  • How ADHD has impacted Lindsy + how she shows up in business

  • Being open to new ideas & possibilities + slowing down and tuning into what you really need in this season
