## Resource

Lindsay Kiley did it twice. She stepped away from law to raise her kids, went back to try again as a lawyer, and still something didn't feel right. It wasn't until she invented the Swelly water scooter that she finally built something that felt in alignment. In this episode, host Ashley Billings talks with Lindsay about what those in-between years looked like: the failed ventures, the slow realization that returning to law wasn't the answer, and what it takes to keep going when nothing is working. The overnight success part? It's the smallest part of the story. We get into: Leaving law, returning to it, and leaving again The Campable startup experiment and what it taught her Entrepreneurship while raising kids, the parts nobody posts about How Swelly went from a garage idea to retail shelves What she'd tell anyone who feels like they've missed their window If you're mid-pivot, stuck, or rebuilding, Lindsay's been there. More than once.
