1. Success happens when you show up and say yes
Lindsay’s career trajectory was built on her relentless drive and willingness to take on any task. Starting as an assistant, she became what she calls a “job collector,” volunteering for the tasks no one else wanted—like showing up at 6 a.m. shoots or managing behind-the-scenes logistics.
“It was a little bit of luck and a lot of drive,” she reflected on her early days. Her willingness to step up earned her trust, visibility and eventually a leadership role. Lindsay’s journey is a reminder that saying yes to even the smallest opportunities can lead to incredible growth.
2. Motherhood cracks you open in the best way
For Lindsay, becoming a mother was a transformative moment—personally and professionally. Stepping into her dream leadership role while preparing for motherhood, “felt like two dreams coming true at once, but it was also terrifying,” she shared.
Motherhood forced her to let go of perfectionism and embrace vulnerability. “I started letting people in more, admitting when I wasn’t having the best day,” she explained. This openness deepened her relationships and made her a more relatable leader—a powerful reminder of the strength in showing our human side.
3. Identity beyond a dream job
After 20 years at SNL, leaving the show felt like stepping off a cliff for Lindsay. She grew up on the show and it was part of her identity. But taking that leap opened the door to a fulfilling, multifaceted career.
Now Lindsay embraces the uncertainty of what comes next: “When you go where there’s light and heat, the world opens up in ways you never imagined.” Her story reminds us that our identity isn’t tied to a title or company—it’s rooted in the values and passions we carry forward.
