Summary
You have just a couple more weeks to join THE networking community for women business owners over forty: The Dear FoundHer... Forum. Save 30% off your annual membership and lock in your rate before it goes in next year!
A longtime HR leader sees how unprepared many young adults feel after college and turns that insight into a small business built to guide them through the realities of adulthood.
Heather Redisch sits down with Lindsay Pinchuk to share how Adulting 101 Masterclass began, the early uncertainty that came with creating something in a wide-open space, and the small shifts that helped her clarify her offer. She talks about the moments that shaped her growth, the experiments that revealed what students and parents truly needed, and the point where things finally gained momentum once she focused on her core strengths.
Heather also reflects on the role community played in her progress. The women in the Dear FoundHer Forum helped her push past discomfort, stay visible, and build confidence as she refined her idea. Their support reshaped how she approaches her work and the young adults she serves.
Her story leaves listeners with a simple question: what becomes possible for your small business when you stay curious, keep learning, and surround yourself with a community that moves with you?
