A Conversation with Ross Lindsay

Where it Started...

I want to share an inspiring story of transformation and reinvention from our latest podcast episode #288 with Ross Lindsay.

I met Ross at our Fiji retreat last year, and she has been on a truly remarkable journey ever since.

A registered nurse and public health professional, Ross decided to take a step back from her stressful career, prioritize her health, and completely reinvent herself.

Now, she’s a fierce advocate for preventive health and longevity, running her own podcast, "The Wellness Nurse," and is about to launch her own business, Launch Longevity.

In our conversation, Ross shared how she went from being at her unhealthiest, feeling stuck and overwhelmed, to living a vibrant and active life. She has become a beacon of inspiration, showing how taking small steps each day can lead to monumental changes over time.

Let me take you through some of the highlights and key takeaways from this powerful conversation.

The Power of a Decision

One of the most compelling moments in our conversation was when Ross talked about a pivotal decision she made.

After realizing that she was just a "project number" in her high-stress job, she decided to leave. She sold her family home, moved interstate, and decided to focus on her health.

Sometimes, we get so caught up in the busyness of life that we forget we have the power to make a different choice. For Ross, this decision was life-changing, allowing her to fulfill a long-held dream to live by the ocean and be closer to her family.

Small Steps, Big Changes

Ross emphasized the importance of small, consistent steps toward better health. It wasn't an overnight transformation for her.

She made tiny shifts in her daily habits—reducing her alcohol intake, losing weight, exercising regularly, and adopting a positive mindset.

Over time, these small changes compounded, leading to a major transformation. This resonates with what I always say: it’s about progress, not perfection.

Every little step counts!

Overcoming Self-Doubt

Ross shared how self-doubt has been a constant companion in her life. But the decision to "back herself" changed everything.

She learned to cut off the need for perfection and instead focused on taking action. I think this is such an important lesson for all of us. It’s natural to have doubts, especially when we’re venturing into new territory.

The key is to recognize those thoughts as just that—thoughts—and not let them dictate our actions.

The Importance of Community and Support

Our Fiji retreat was a definite turning point for Ross, providing her with a supportive environment of like-minded women who were also on a journey of reinvention.

She emphasized how crucial it is to surround yourself with people who encourage and uplift you.

Whether it's through retreats, coaching programs, or supportive communities, having that network can make all the difference when you’re trying to make a big change in your life. 

Looking Ahead: Launch Longevity

Now, Ross is on a mission to help others on their health journeys through her new business, Launch Longevity.

She believes in creating personalized plans for people to take small steps toward better health. As a nurse and public health professional, she understands the importance of preventive health care and is determined to make a difference.

I love that her story is not just about her own transformation but also about giving back and helping others achieve their dream of a healthy, vibrant life.

Summing Up

Ross Lindsay’s journey is a testament to the power of reinvention, the importance of making deliberate choices, and the impact of small, consistent steps.

If you feel inspired by her story, I encourage you to think about what small steps you can take today toward your dream life.

Remember, it’s never too late to start, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Thank you for joining us, and I hope Ross’s story has motivated you as much as it has me.

...and if you feel called to join us at our next Fiji retreat, we’d love to have you.

Until next time, keep dreaming big!
