Episode 125: When Life No Longer Fits - Lindsey Hall on Starting Again

Guest: Lindsey Hall – Divorce & Intimacy Coach | Former Senior Finance Professional

Host: Mark Crossfield – Career Coach & Author of Mid-Career Change


Episode Summary

What do you do when the life you've built—your career, your relationships, your routines—no longer feels right?

In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsey Hall, a divorce and intimacy coach who helps busy professionals and parents navigate big emotional transitions. Before stepping into coaching, Lindsey spent over a decade in corporate finance, leading high-stakes projects and managing senior teams. But a personal reckoning during divorce and early parenthood led her to redefine what it means to live and work in a way that feels deeply aligned.

Together we explore:

  • How Lindsey knew it was time for a major career and life shift

  • The emotional weight of change—and why it’s worth it

  • Reclaiming boundaries, confidence, and joy

  • Why even high achievers get stuck, and how to begin again

  • Practical steps for anyone navigating career change or personal transition

This is a conversation for anyone in mid-career wondering, is this really it?—and looking for a path back to themselves.
