    Community isn’t a trend. It’s the business—and it always has been.

    As the year comes to a close, Host, Lindsay Pinchuk, reflects on the one thing behind every milestone inside Dear FoundHer…: community.


    In this solo episode, Lindsay shares why connection has always been the foundation of real business growth—long before algorithms, trends, or social media experts declared it so. From building a seven-figure company without a marketing budget to creating spaces where women truly support one another, this episode is a reminder that people don’t stay loyal to platforms. They stay loyal to people.

    You’ll hear why community isn’t a “nice to have,” but essential infrastructure for entrepreneurs—especially women in business—and walk away with simple, practical ways to start building (and deepening) connection right now.


    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why community is the business—not a trend
    • How connection and trust fuel sustainable growth
    • Simple ways to build community without overcomplicating it
    • How support and networking create resilience when things get hard
    • Five strategies for creating connection with your community in order to sustain it.


    If you’re building a business and want more than vanity metrics—more connection, more support, and more people in your corner, this episode is for you.

  • From the Forum: Dr. Lisa Klein, Turning Teen
    Dec 18 2025

    If you're a woman business owner over 40, join the Dear FoundHer... Forum to find support, advice, resources and mentorship—JUST FOR YOU. It’s all inside, without the gatekeeping and without the overwhelm.


    Building a real business became possible for Dr. Lisa Klein when she stopped trying to do everything alone and chose to grow inside a community of women who understood the work.


    Lindsay Pinchuk talks with pediatrician and Turning Teen founder Dr. Lisa Klein about how a deeply personal idea grew into a legitimate business with national reach. Turning Teen began as a response to a need Dr. Klein saw in her medical practice, parents who wanted support talking with their kids about puberty, body image, emotions, and sex education but did not know where to start. What began as small workshops in living rooms evolved into structured programming for schools, community groups, and families across multiple cities.


    Dr. Klein shares how joining the Dear Found Her Forum and participating in Marketing Made Simple helped her move from treating Turning Teen as a side project to running it as a real business. Being surrounded by other women builders gave her clarity, accountability, and confidence as she learned marketing, partnerships, hiring, and systems. How different does growth feel when you are not figuring it out alone?


    The conversation points out how community relationships turned into real opportunities, from strategic partnerships to new offerings and large scale events. Dr. Klein’s story is a reminder that sustainable growth often comes from shared experience, steady action, and the right people in your corner.

    You don’t need permission or perfect credentials to build a trusted brand in women’s health.


    Lindsay Pinchuk sits down with Kat Schneider, founder and CEO of Ritual, for a conversation about building a category-defining company without a science background or a perfectly mapped plan. Kat shares how Ritual began during her first pregnancy as a response to unanswered questions about trust and transparency, and how choosing a DTC model early allowed the brand to educate customers, show real proof, and earn credibility instead of asking for it. What changes when you build trust before scale? How do you move forward when you do not feel fully ready?


    Kat also reflects on how that DTC foundation shaped Ritual’s growth and made expansion into retail, including Target, feel intentional rather than reactive. She talks about leadership lessons learned along the way, from hiring mistakes to the pressure many women feel to be experts at everything, and why surrounding yourself with people who are stronger where you are not can change everything. Tune in to understand how intuition and decision-making become the real competitive advantage when you are building something meant to last.
