Lindsey Schwartz

Lindsey Schwartz is the founder of Powerhouse Women. This live event and online community were born out of the belief that women are designed to create, and that when women get into action around their big ideas, the world works better (because it does!).

Lindsey Schwartz is a wellness entrepreneur and author of the best-selling book Powerhouse Woman: How to get out of your own way, fulfill your unique purpose, and live a powerful life. After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don’t have to have it all together to get started. In 2017 Lindsey founded the Powerhouse Women event as a way to help women get out of their own way and into ACTION around their own big ideas and dreams.

She is passionate about building community and believes that women are most successful when they collaborate and sincerely root for one another to win. Her heart for collaboration led to Lindsey’s latest project, the Powerhouse Women GirlGang, a membership community for like-minded women to connect, grow, and confidently pursue their BIG ideas.
