Lindsay opens up about the vital work her foundation is doing to create real opportunities for underrepresented designers, and how consumers can support Black creatives directly.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Beyond fashion, Lindsay shares her “pinch me” moments, balancing a life that’s both glamorous and far more grounded than people might expect. She reflects on how her sense of self used to be tied closely to her career, after becoming editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue at just 26. Now, embracing single life and letting go of people-pleasing, Lindsay discusses the strength she’s found in redefining her own success. Both Morgan and Lindsay offer honest insights into the complexities of being a leader, rewriting the rules, and creating spaces where authenticity and ambition can thrive.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Tune in for a candid conversation on breaking barriers, empowering others, and finding freedom in self-acceptance. Plus, hear Morgan share insights from her upcoming book, Rewrite Your Rules.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;More from Lindsay:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.instagram.com/lrpeoples/?hl=en"&gt;https://www.instagram.com/lrpeoples/?hl=en&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.thecut.com/author/lindsay-peoples/"&gt;https://www.thecut.com/author/lindsay-peoples/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Join the Newsletter for More Exclusive Content: &lt;a href= "https://worksmartprogram.ac-page.com/thejourneypodcast"&gt;https://worksmartprogram.ac-page.com/thejourneypodcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Make sure you are following Morgan's journey on TikTok: &lt;a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@morgandebaun?_"&gt;https://www.tiktok.com/@morgandebaun?_&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Visit &lt;a href= "http://mormatcha.com/"&gt;Mormatcha.com&lt;/a&gt; to make a purchase.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Follow us on Instagram: &lt;a href= "https://instagram.com/thejourneybymdb"&gt;https://instagram.com/thejourneybymdb&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Produced by MicMoguls.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
