Managing the Personal and Professional Sides of Entrepreneurship with Lindsay Silberman

We’re welcoming Lindsay Silberman back on today’s episode of Her Life By Design. You might remember her from the first season of the podcast but just to refresh your memory, Lindsay is a luxury travel influencer turned CEO and founder of the company Hotel Lobby Candle.

Lindsay and I have a great conversation that touches on both the personal and professional sides of being a female entrepreneur. We kick off with a discussion about Lindsay’s decision to freeze her eggs and what that process was like for her. Then, we talk about how she takes care of her mental health as a public figure and how shifting from influencer to CEO changed her views on social media. Finally, we’re discussing all things business as Lindsay shares details on growing her company, Hotel Lobby Candle, and how she took it from ideation to execution.
