175: Take It All Apart with Lindsay Leahy

My challenge for you today, listener: how many giggles did you hear in the duration of the episode? In today's episode of The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth, you'll hear one of only a handful of in-personal interviews I've ever conducted for the podcast. The level of fun and depth and love in the room is palpable as I sit down with an inspirational woman in business, author, coach, speaker, MKM client, and most importantly, my friend, Lindsay Leahy. Though she's been on the podcast in the past with her bestie and business partner at The Restoration Project Brooke Fitzgerald in Episode 66 Living, Leading, and Working with Meaning, in today's episode we talk about not just their business, but also the writing of her new book Take It All Apart. The Restoration Process At The Restoration Project, their team of leadership coaches walks their clients, whether individuals, teams, or entire organizations through their signature process of:

Building Connection: to self, others, and something greater.
Restoring Intention: explore and define identity, vision, intention, and meaning, then build a plan.
Inspiring Action: establish new practices, systems, rituals, and routines.

Writing a Book As someone who has always enjoyed writing, Lindsay says that she faced challenges she wasn't expecting when writing her first book:

Practically and tactically it was hard to do the writing.
Sharing lived experience was hard at times.
"What if people think this sucks?" Due to her identity as a writer, Lindsay shares that it feels strange to put her words and writing style on display for the world.
Regardless of the struggles it presented, Lindsay shares that writing Take It All Apart has resulted in her feeling more poised in her own practice, more refined in her process of coaching and writing.

Connect with Lindsay Lindsay Leahy is a proud wife, daughter, auntie, and friend. She is passionate about Jesus, hugs, dreams, adventures, and deep conversation. She is the creator of the blog Grit, Gratitude, and Grace and the founder and Dream Builder at The Restoration Project, a women-owned coaching and consulting practice that provides experiences, programs, and services to improve organizational health, team and leadership effectiveness and individual well-being. Lindsay is the author of Take it All Apart, debuting October 2024. Join her book Hype Crew for all the upcoming launch events and details or preorder your own copy here.
