Whether you work in corporate, a startup, or running your own business, The Happy LeadHer will give you tips from wellness experts, badass entrepreneurs, and women just like you. If you’ve been looking for a community of women who are ready to take bold action and support each other along the way, you’re in the right place.

Meet your host, Lindsay May

After leading teams in corporate and startups most of my career, I learned that not only does it get lonely at the top — it can get quite toxic. I was working 10-12 hours a day consistently, experiencing extreme burnout, and even had near-daily panic attacks for years.

In December of 2022, I decided that I was no longer willing to compromise my peace, mental health, and happiness for a paycheck. I launched my own SEO and website firm, The Happy Marketing Co., soon after.

I’m now on a mission to help women in leadership roles feel less lonely, find fulfillment, get practical tips for their health, and evolve as leaders in the business world through The Happy LeadHer podcast and blog. And yes, I also share my dating experiences — which you can get inspired by or live vicariously through me. We’re in this together, friend!

xx, Lindsay
