This episode is a bittersweet one. After years of conversations about faith, business, motherhood, legacy, and building a life that actually feels aligned, Evie and Lindsey share the honest story behind their decision to press pause on The Heart University and the Heart & Hustle Podcast. What began as a slow stirring turned into unmistakable clarity, marked by peace, conviction, and a deep sense of obedience to what God is asking of them in this season. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the emotional, spiritual, and practical journey that led them here, including the tension of laying down something deeply loved, the shifting call of motherhood, and the freedom that comes from surrendering control.

More than an ending, this episode is an invitation. An invitation to listen closely when life starts whispering for change, to trust God even when the next step feels unclear, and to believe that pauses are not failures but fertile ground for transformation. Evie and Lindsey reflect on the legacy of the Heart, the impact of community, and the beauty of seasons that evolve, while offering gratitude, encouragement, and prayer for every listener who has walked alongside them. This is not goodbye, but a transition marked by faith, trust, and hope for what comes next.

Last week, you heard Evie's entrepreneurial journey, and today, it's Lindsey's turn. In this episode, Lindsey opens up about the winding, faith-led path that shaped her into the entrepreneur she is today. From growing up around sales and creativity to pursuing acting, discovering photography, and eventually building a thriving destination wedding business. She walks through the seasons of hustle, risk, and reinvention, including moving across the country, scaling education through The Heart University, navigating motherhood alongside business growth, and learning how to steward success without burning out. Lindsey also shares how real estate, reinvestment, and unexpected pivots played a role in building long-term stability, why downshifting doesn't mean quitting, and how listening to God's direction has shaped every major decision along the way.

This conversation is an honest look at ambition, identity, timing, and what it really means to build a life and business that align with your values. It honors both growth and rest, trusting God through seasons of change, and redefining success beyond constant hustle so you can create something sustainable, life giving, and rooted in purpose.

In this episode, Evie shares an honest look at her entrepreneurial journey over the last decade. What began as a creative hobby slowly grew into a photography business and eventually opened the door to education, mentorship, and multiple companies. Along the way, Evie faced unexpected closed doors, rapid growth, seasons of hustle, moments of burnout, and major life transitions that reshaped how she viewed success and sustainability Evie walks through the evolution of her businesses, including the early days of photography, the launch and expansion of The Heart University, building and scaling educational offerings, and stepping into new ventures that stretched her faith and leadership. She reflects on what it taught her to trust God through uncertainty, to pivot when plans changed, and to build businesses that align with the life she wanted rather than consume it.

This conversation is a reminder that entrepreneurship does not have to follow a straight line. Growth can look different in every season, and success can mean learning when to push forward and when to simplify. If you are navigating change, feeling called to shift, or wondering how to build a business that supports both your life and your values, this episode will meet you right where you are.
