Embrace the Squiggle: Change happens. Growth is a choice.
Embrace the Squiggle is the podcast about navigating change in work, identity, leadership, and life with intention. Because change happens. Growth is a choice.
This show explores the honest, human stories behind reinvention. From career pivots and leadership shifts to identity crises, mindset shifts, and unexpected detours, each episode dives into what it really looks like to move through uncertainty instead of waiting for clarity.
Our guests share candid stories of obstacles, failures, breakthroughs, and hard-earned lessons. Not because they had it all figured out but because they chose growth in the middle of the mess.
Each week, Colleen DelVecchio and Ashleigh Beadle unpack the pivots, pauses, leaps of faith, and “what am I even doing?” moments that shape a non-linear life. This isn’t about chasing a straight line. It’s about building the mindset and courage to evolve on purpose.

Stop Doing Everything: Strength Based Team Building with Lindsay LaBonte
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever wondered what happens when "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" turns into a full-blown career? This week's episode is a delightful deep dive with Lindsay LaBonte, who turned her childhood fascination with her dad's mortgage business into her own financial industry adventure!
What's in store:
- The real story of how Lindsay went from "playing bank" as a kid to actually running one 🏦
- The juggling act of motherhood, leadership, and that pesky thing called "parental expectations"
- How to delegate better as a leader
- Why discovering your strengths might be better than therapy (StrengthsFinder for the win!)
Lindsay spills the tea on the art of delegation (spoiler: it's not just dumping work on others), how to create a team that doesn't make you want to hide in the supply closet, and finding moments of joy in the financial world.
Plus: Learn why sometimes the best career move is taking a nap! Lindsay's refreshing take on energy management will have you booking that vacation day you've been putting off.
This episode is perfect for anyone who's ever thought: "I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm doing it anyway!" (Which is all of us, let's be honest.)
