Her Story

Lindsy lives in LA and works in marketing and has been doing both long enough to have very clear opinions about what is worth her energy and what is not. She checked the cupboard. She confirmed the results. She is not sad about it. She is honest about it, which is completely different. Single for two years and describes it as her most productive. Her friends call it her funniest timeline. Both are correct. Lindsy is in her IDGAF era. 

What Lindsy doesn’t say out loud: she used to carry everything for everyone. She was the strong one, the emergency contact, the unpaid therapist, the person who held it together so well that everyone assumed she was fine. She was so good at being fine that she started believing it too. She is not doing that anymore. She has started saying no and then lying down for twenty minutes afterward. This is growth.

She also downloaded a dating app at 11pm last Tuesday. Her profile says she enjoys tacos and honesty. She has not posted it yet. She believes in something. She will not tell you what. But she does.

She is part of the core five group chat with Dottie, Max, Josie, and Eva. They met in college and have stayed in contact for all those years. Their group chat keeps her alive. She lives for it but will never tell them that. 

A Random Fact

She once sent an out of office reply that just said “no.” Her boss forwarded it to HR. She still thinks it was her best work. Luckily, HR agreed with her. 

Her Connections

Jenna — Her college friend who still makes her laugh until something comes out of her nose.
Zoe — Her coworker and actual friend. Cuz in LA, it’s hard to find real friends sometimes. Lunch every day. Talk about everything except work.
