Episode Notes

Do you find it difficult to balance work and family life? Are you passionate about building your dreams AND investing in your marriage, relationships, and faith but doing it all seems... impossible?

In this episode of Shift Happens, I sit down with renowned luxury interior designer Lindye Galloway—founder of Lindye Galloway Studio and LeMaé Home to discuss the reality of owning a successful business. Known for her elevated aesthetic and trend-setting designs featured in Architectural Digest, Forbes, and Restoration Hardware, Lindye opens up about the layers beneath the polished surface.

We dive into the challenges of being a working mom—balancing ambition with motherhood, the guilt and sacrifice that come with striving to build something meaningful, and how those very sacrifices can shape children’s perception of strength, resilience, and purpose. Lindye shares how she hopes her kids see her not just as a mom, but as a woman who showed up fully in both business and life.

We also explore the complexities of working alongside a spouse—navigating different personalities, communication styles, and the intentional work it takes to protect both the business and the marriage. And of course, we talk about the ever-evolving world of interior design—how to stay ahead of trends without losing your creative identity, and what it means to lead in a visually saturated industry.

This conversation is a beautiful blend of business, family and the permission to define success on your own terms.
