In this episode of the EmpowerMoms Podcast, we’re joined by Lindsay, founder of LFB Creative, who takes us behind the scenes of her journey from communications graduate to interior designer—all while balancing motherhood, family life, and building a business.
Lindsay shares how becoming a mom shifted her priorities, why freelancing offered the flexibility she craved, and how her design work is rooted in patience, collaboration, and truly understanding her clients’ needs. Whether you’re dreaming of reworking your home or navigating your own creative career with kids in tow, this conversation is filled with relatable moments, design wisdom, and encouragement to take your time—because creating a space (and life) that reflects you is worth the process.
