Feeling like things slow down in the summer? You're not alone—and you're definitely not failing.
In this episode, we’re talking all about how to stay motivated and make the most of the summer months, even when business feels a little quieter. Instead of stressing over the slowdown, let’s reframe summer as your secret weapon: a chance to reset, realign, and build momentum for a powerful second half of the year.
Whether you're a travel advisor, entrepreneur, or content creator, this is your reminder that slower seasons can still be strategic seasons.
💡 What You’ll Learn:
- Why summer slowdowns aren’t a problem—they’re an opportunity
- How to take intentional action now to set up success for fall and wave season
- Creative ways to stay inspired and visible without burning out
- Smart strategies to plant seeds that grow into bookings later
- What to prioritize during a slower season to build long-term growth
- A mindset shift that can help you feel confident even when sales dip
✨ Mentioned in This Episode:
- How to create “maintenance mode” content
- Lead magnets & list-building during downtime
- Visibility strategies that don’t require you to be online 24/7
- Why batching and planning now frees you up later
- A simple action step to feel productive (without hustling)
🎯 Action Step:
Choose one small, high-impact task to work on this week—like refreshing your lead magnet, scheduling out evergreen content, or reaching out to a past client. Small, strategic moves now = big results later.

About Lindsay: Lindsay is a women’s business coach, podcast host, high school Spanish teacher, dog mama to Bella, and Disney lover! She lives in Ohio with her younger sister and their rescue dog (from Puerto Rico), Bella. She's obsessed with all things Disney (the parks, movies, studying the business model, and running RunDisney races).
She started in business in network marketing in 2016. Needing an outlet to feel fulfilled after her mom passed away from a nearly 17 year battle with breast cancer in 2015, she quickly found that she was obsessed with helping other women also grow their businesses, and her coaching business very organically grew from her success in her own business and helping others on her team. She started this podcast in 2020 to share not only her own business advice and tips as she's on the journey herself, but also to interview other motivational women to share with YOU ! Additionally, she has always loved Disney, and one of the things she does is work as a travel agent who specializes in Disney and cruises. So, it was very natural for her to add her Disney-inspired branding into her business coaching, and the rest is history!
