Female Founder Unplugged
Welcome to Female Founder Unplugged, the podcast for ambitious female entrepreneurs who are scaling businesses, leading teams, and navigating the highs and lows of entrepreneurship—all while trying to keep their sanity intact.
Hosted by Lindsay White, a people & culture strategist, leadership coach, speaker and best-selling author, this show dives deep into the unfiltered realities of growing and leading a successful business. We’re talking about the messy middle—hiring struggles, leadership challenges, burnout, and the moments no one posts about on Instagram.
Each episode features honest, no-BS conversations with powerhouse female founders who share their wins, their failures, and the hard-earned lessons they’ve learned along the way. If you’ve ever wondered how to scale without losing yourself in the process, how to build a high-performing team without the hiring headaches, or how to stay connected to your vision when the pressure is on—this is the show for you.
So, if you’re ready to unplug from the noise, the self-doubt, and the unrealistic highlight reels, hit subscribe and let’s get real about what it actually takes to grow and lead with confidence.

[S5, Ep43] Stop Building in the Dark: Community, Connection and Leading Without Loneliness (with Kristina Bartold-Sorgota)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You can have a successful business and still feel completely alone. A lot of founders I know are building in the dark and making decisions in isolation, without a real space to let out their thoughts (that have turned into secrets at this point) and be supported.
This episode is about what changes when you get out of that loneliness.
It features the wonderful Kristina Bartold-Sorgota, co-founder of The Social Snippet, a social media and podcasting agency, and the co-creator of High Vibe Women — a community bringing Canadian female entrepreneurs together to make magic in their businesses. ✨ She's genuine, warm, and honest.
Episode Highlights
🤝 Why the women who scale fastest are the ones who build the most intentional communities around them
🧠 How to start managing the head trash that gets loudest when things get hard
🪞 What it means to be a culture champion as a leader, and why your team is always watching how you show up
💬 The difference between wanting your team to love your business the way you do, and what actually motivates people to deliver their best
👑 Why leadership in your own business feels so different from leadership inside an organization — and the identity shift that comes with running the whole thing yourself
Come listen, and start finding community right here in this conversation.
