In today’s episode of Wilder Possibilities Podcast, I sat down with my dear friend and longtime collaborator, Lindsay Lighthiser, to discuss her remarkable journey from fashion design to motherhood and entrepreneurship. 🌟

Lindsay’s story is one of passion, perseverance, and finding the perfect balance between creativity and practicality. She started her career at Parsons, one of the top fashion design schools, where her early internships at Ralph Lauren and Nicole Miller gave her a firsthand experience of the luxury fashion world. But, as Lindsay reflects, the hustle and long hours in the fashion industry weren’t sustainable once motherhood entered the picture. 👶

Like many of us, Lindsay experienced a pivotal moment—what I call the “click.” It was when she realized that while she loved fashion, it was no longer aligned with her values of sustainability and family. Fast fashion just wasn’t cutting it anymore. Her click moment? Becoming a mother. 💡

She knew she needed to create something that contributed to society and honored her family values, and that’s when she launched Little Shadows, a luxe labor and delivery gown brand designed for new moms. With her business partner Lex, they’ve created something that adds comfort, style, and a little touch of luxury to one of the most significant moments in a woman’s life—childbirth. 🌸

The gowns are thoughtfully designed, with snaps for easy breastfeeding access, modesty during labor, and comfort during long hospital stays. This is truly a mom-first product, and it’s taking the market by storm! 🌿

Why Fashion and Interior Design Blend Together
One of the fascinating things Lindsay shared is how her background in fashion has influenced her approach to interior design. 🎨 She’s spent over 15 years in the industry and sees a natural connection between the two fields. Whether it’s understanding the textiles or creating a luxury aesthetic, Lindsay believes that design, whether on your body or in your home, is a reflection of who you are.

Her passion for interior renovations is just as strong as her love for fashion. In fact, she has a knack for flipping homes and helping clients make practical yet beautiful design choices. 🏡 Whether it’s finding the perfect tile or figuring out where to place the sink, Lindsay’s design eye is a game-changer for anyone looking to remodel their home.

Sustainability at the Core
Lindsay and Lex have built Little Shadows with sustainability at the heart of their brand. They are committed to sourcing materials ethically and making use of overstock fabrics to reduce their environmental footprint. 🌍 The gowns are not just a product—they’re a movement toward making the world a better place for future generations, something Lindsay’s mom always taught her.

Conclusion
Lindsay’s story is a perfect example of how motherhood can spark creativity and lead to a new, fulfilling path. Little Shadows is making a real impact, and it’s just the beginning! 💕
