This weeks Guest - Lindsey K. Weller

You can feel it when someone finally admits the truth: they’re bored, they’re restless, and they can’t do the “safe” path anymore. 

That’s where this conversation with Lindsey Weller starts, and it quickly turns into a real-world playbook for anyone trying to build a creative career without living in LA or New York. 

I’m Michael D. Jones, and Lindsey takes us through her winding road from childhood theater to field hockey, then into TV production, marketing, and a master’s in psychology before she made the leap into modeling and acting in the DC area DMV.  

We get specific about the unglamorous parts people ignore: long hours, waiting, gear, uncertainty, and the constant hustle to keep momentum. Lindsey explains how she built a diverse portfolio on purpose, why being a “chameleon” helps, and how she’s now pushing for bigger acting representation. Then we go deep on boudoir photography, what it actually is, and why it can be empowering instead of exploitative. We talk stigma, body positivity, authenticity, and the weird cultural double standard of consuming sexy imagery while judging the people who create it, plus what happens when social platforms flag tasteful work anyway.  

You’ll also hear what keeps us steady on the hard days: asking for outside perspective, doing one small creative action, and letting rest count when your brain won’t shut off. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should hide parts of yourself to be “bookable,” this will challenge you in the best way. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a push, and leave a review. What’s one choice you’d make if you stopped worrying about being judged?
