Stop Trying to Fit In—Start Paying Attention

From identity to boundaries… and everything in between.

In this episode of Challenging the Norm, Lindsey shares an honest rant about not quite fitting right now. Whether it’s age, energy, running a business that doesn’t fit the “lifestyle” mould, or being the main earner, she’s asking the question many avoid:

Where do you fit… and do you even need to?

Paul relates, reflecting on a time when not smoking meant missing out on conversations, decisions, and opportunities—because the real networking happened in the smoking area. He also admits he doesn’t like golf… and would appreciate you keeping that quiet.

Together, Lindsey and Paul explore:

➡️ What identity really means in business—and how social media shapes it

➡️ Comfort zones, and why growth often sits just beyond them

➡️ The warning signs that show up when you’ve crossed your own boundaries

➡️ Why trying harder to “fit in” usually pulls you further away from yourself

➡️ Grounding yourself when things feel uncertain and learning to trust your body’s signals

➡️ The power of connection and finding the right rooms, not just more rooms

As they hit episode 60, they also reflect on breaking podcast “rules” and expectations, proving that consistency, honesty, and showing up as you are count for far more than stats.

Because sometimes, the moment you stop trying to fit in… is the moment things start to click.
