910. Your life isn’t random: How invisible strings shape relationships, purpose, and your growth

22:28Lindsey Simcik:Yes. And I didn't know he was going to be my husband. Yes. So to bring in the Sean thread, I met Sean in 2012. I was working at Bounce Sporting Club here in New York City. I was a he'd be there for football, et cetera. He was just starting his career in finance here in New York. And I had just broken up with my ex of like almost four years who I thought was going to be my husband, da, da, da. And just kind of going through it, but at the same time, like doing my thing, dating around, all of that. And so Bounce is just such a weird vortex of a place where it's like people are partying. Most people get wasted.

23:21Lindsey Simcik:It's just it is the vibe. And Sean kind of like popped out of that simulation because he didn't really drink that much. And long story short, he asked me out on a date, but we never dated. I would never say, and he wouldn't either back been that we dated. I always kept him at an arm's length. I remember being in, I lived with one of my best friends at the time. And I remember saying to him, like, or maybe it was, yeah, maybe it was like a year after I met Sean. I remember saying to him, I could never marry Sean. Like just saying that out loud. And I was saying that because there was just so many things that like stupid ass things that like annoyed me or like I couldn't deal with.

24:06Lindsey Simcik:Because I think at the time I thought like you loved everything about them. It was super easy. Like that's who your person should be. And I remember saying that out loud and God was like, so I eventually I moved to LA and I moved to LA because of SoulCycle. So SoulCycle is just such a really strong string that not only like allowed me to move, but it connected me to you. It was the beginnings of almost 30, like one of the events, a couple of the events were there. Yeah, we had a couple of events there. And we're really – actually when we were on tour, we used to do SoulCycles on tour. I remember going to Boston, like other cities, we did SoulCycle rides.

24:48Lindsey Simcik:It was an incredible way for us to build community. And it also taught me how to build community because SoulCycle was a very communal place. Great point. like very genuine community um so then you know I'm like the token single girl forever but we're on tour for the podcast eventually and I'm just pulling the Sean string and he saw on Instagram that I was in New York he was like stalking and so yeah from there like that was the time that we reconnected in 2019 and we've been together ever since um again new york kind of comes back in the picture where like i was living in la at the time yep so being in new york and all the things um and he and i remain friends throughout that and i always i think this is also an aspect of a string that people can think about where it might not be the person that you're like oh, like I love them.

25:50Lindsey Simcik:Like, you know, like you might have a feel like when you're in their presence or when you think about them or you get a message from them, like something happens. You might not be able to identify it as like I have a crush or I'm in love with them or I hate them. It's like it's like soul stirring. It is like a soul connection. So, yeah, I felt that every time I would see him randomly throughout the years but I never knew that he was my person until that like night we sat down for dinner in 2019 so it kind of took time for that string to kind of catch and like come together so we had the string through my ex and through Sean randomly yeah and then we connected through soul cycle and then I think it's so wild that the proper is a part of our strings.

26:43And when, so basically the weekend when Lindsay reconnected with Sean, when you guys were like, when you were like, wow, I had this soul knowing was when I got engaged in New York city on tour. So we were on tour. I got engaged the same weekend, Lindsay reconnected. And then when you moved to New York, I had my wedding. And then when you, the same month, when you got engaged at the proper, what month was that? August, November, November. I don't know if I had anything then. November what year? 2020? Oh, no. I'm trying to think of when I, he moved out in January, 2023. 2022, November is when we did, we called it.

27:19Nothing happened, I think, in 2021. But I had my engagement photos at The Proper. You got engaged at The Proper. We did a lot at The Proper. We had our photo shoot at The Proper for our brand. I had my divorce conversation at The Proper. Oh, wow. I met one of my guys that I had a really, really deep karmic connection with we went to the proper wow it's the proper has been like a spot wow for like it's like an energy portal for us and so um i got engaged or i got married you moved and then you got married and then yeah at your wedding though was when we were like really struggling yeah i remember so that was august 2022 or was your wedding yeah we had just gotten on a trial separation so it was like our first month of it i remember when i was like crying so hard at your wedding this is a side story yeah and he's like what's wrong and I'm like you don't know me at all yeah like it was like what do you I was like what wow it was so crazy almost like uh yes what's wrong with you yes embarrassment like what's wrong with you I'm like this is like so crazy yeah wow and then um but then when I landed here this year is when you gave birth to Lenny.

28:30Lindsey Simcik:So I landed at 6 p.m. and you went into labor at 6.07. Yeah. I told the team, I was like, I don't know if I'm going to be there. Yeah. I just don't know. We were recording the next day and Lindsay's like, I don't know if I'm able to be there. So I landed on that flight and was texting her. And I think I just said my water just her water just broke. Literally the second I landed in New York, I was not here. So I got to see you and meet Lenny the next day. Yep. Which hospital. That is insane. So crazy. So crazy. And I think, you know, the fact that you and I met during a time that was so, just to kind of backtrack two seconds, but like you and I met at a very potent time in our life, which then inspired the podcast.

29:08Lindsey Simcik:Yes. So true. Which, you know, started a revolution. Yes. Yes. But like, yes, it's just a really, I think the, you know we talk about that we're early in podcasting but I think there's a string there too of like I think us just wanting so deeply to feel more connected to ourselves and our life and our purpose yeah is like this string that we were trying to hold on to or like pull a little bit yes and because we had each other to lean on through this process and build something together almost 30 was born yeah and then like I mean how many strings have we heard from people throughout the years that like when they found almost 30 or when they listened to this guest and this you know like that okay can we talk about picky eating for a second i have a toddler i'd like to say he eats a little bit more than other kids but he is still picky so if you have a kid who basically survives on the beige foods you know the struggle and with mav i just don't want every meal to turn into that negotiation that's why i have been giving him ella ola it's basically a completely tasteless colorless vitamin powder.

30:18Lindsey Simcik:It's not a gummy. It's not a chewable. So into his water, I have electrolytes in there too, but I put it in his water or his milk. Sometimes he'll have yogurt. I'll throw it in there. His oatmeal, don't tell him. Smoothies, super easy. And he literally cannot tell it's in there. So it has 19 essential vitamins and minerals plus nutrients from 15 organic fruits and veggies, including B12, D, zinc, and it'll support his mood and brain development. It's pediatrician and pediatric dietician developed. It has zero sugar, it's vegan, gluten-free, free of the top nine allergens, and has no artificial sweeteners, dyes, or additives.

So this was the second time that I was pregnant and I just love pregnancy because I get so attuned to like everything that I put in my body. And one of those things is my prenatal.

31:36Lindsey Simcik:A prenatal I recommend and Hylee is from Ritual. The Ritual Essential Prenatal is a part of my routine, and I really love it because it has just these essential nutrients that we need during pregnancy, especially like choline, like folate, and omega-3. I also love it because when I'm taking it, the sensory experience, it doesn't smell weird. It has like this little tab in there that keeps it really fresh, like a citrusy taste and smell. And I just found it to be gentler on my stomach. First trimester, I was so nauseous, but over the course of my entire pregnancy and I still take prenatals postpartum, it's really gentle on my stomach.

She's like, you're the reason why I moved to LA and I've found this in LA. And wow. You know, there's some, I think too, you can look at relationship strings and then career strings like with almost 30.

32:54In my first job in my career, I was interviewing like executives. So I was in finance management consulting. And so I would interview and converse with like very high powered executives, which I do in my job. I interview people that are like exceptionally brilliant and smart. And then in my second job, I don't think there was any application. But I think it got me to New York. In my third job, I did events, like international events, which we did international events all over. And my job before this, I was doing marketing. So it's like there's so many different like aspects of our career. You know, like I started to get voice lessons when I lived in New York, which happened to be for the podcast.

33:32Like, I think we think sometimes we're doing stuff that's very random. But to our soul, nothing that we do is random. And everything we do has purpose.

33:39Lindsey Simcik:And the more we can trust the pull and the call that does not make sense, the better. I also realized that like children are like a really strong string. Like Sean and I, when we were dating, we would talk about our future kids and we would just talk about them. Mav and Lenny, Mav and Lenny, Mav and Lenny. And it was so real to me. I was like, oh, it's just a matter of time before like we have Mav and Lenny here with us physically. And yeah, one, I don't know where the names Maverick and Lennox came from. We don't really have like a thing that inspired us. So maybe I just have a bad memory and so to see on this one, but it's always been those names.

34:19Lindsey Simcik:It's always been them. And then for them to come in that order, like Mav first and then Lenny. I thought I was gonna have two boys like at a point but like they came in they are like the way they look at each other is like has nothing to do with me you know what I mean like they like know each other yeah you know they're just so sweet but on those strings like I just when I got pregnant I got pregnant before my wedding we had a pregnancy loss those three months between the loss and when Mav was conceived, I had like a really intense friendship reckoning falling off. Like your kids kind of take you through.

35:00Lindsey Simcik:They're the string. They pull you through some initiatory. That was during that time? Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I think like the spirit of your baby works on aspects of your life. Maybe you have to move. Maybe you have to quit your job. Maybe you have to like let go of some friends. Yes. Because I had some glaring ones in my life that were not supportive in a way that I could bring forward into my new life with kids. Yes. You know, so it's just I think if you're in maybe a period between loss or like you are grieving in that way, like related to kids, I think, you know, you can for me, it brought me a lot of comfort to think about this, the spirit of the child, like already working with me to make this happen.

35:50Lindsey Simcik:Yes. Like having that conversation with that spirit is a really beautiful thing. Oh, yeah. Spirit babies is amazing. I was laughing because I do this. This is the most psychotic thing I'll ever say. when I've dated men with kids, like sometimes I'll psychically talk to their kids and I'll be like, if I'm meant to be your mom, just tell your dad. Just tell him. My name is K-R-I-S-T-A. I don't involve the dad, but I'm like, if I'm meant to be your mom in this lifetime, just let it happen. I mean, you know, they're respectful to their souls. Just like, hey. Checking in. Checking in with you. This is, I want you to have choice and consent to your future mom.

36:28Totally. yeah I think that's nice and I'm like tell your mom to back off yeah tell your mom to get out I love the so the invisible string theory too so it has that but I always really love I don't know if you've ever heard the um Steve Jobs commencement speech that he did at Stanford

36:47Lindsey Simcik:I know it exists yeah I don't know it's like one of the most you know he's so prolific but it's one of the most famous of all time and it was in 2005 at Stanford and basically it was talking about how when you're in the process of life, you know, sometimes things don't make sense, but looking back, all the dots connect and everything sort of makes sense in a way. And, you know, first of all, being able to have those moments in your life where the dots connect is such a gift, but also it's like reminding that like, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You want to so bad, control the outcome, control your future, control everything and make it all happen.

37:19But that's what makes life so beautiful. And that's what makes the journey of life so beautiful. And I really love just the sentiment where he shared in it, where he was talking about rejection can only redirect you towards what your most, like your most creative chapter. I think that's what I think about too in life is like for my next steps and what I want to do. It's like when you don't know the path, sometimes it's the best because sometimes there's just so much possibility, boundless like opportunity. Like you. It is liberating. It's so liberating. yeah like it's if if you have a sense of self it's liberating if you have like a sense of trust it's liberating and i think the more often in life when i've gone on paths that weren't clear the better they have been for me and trusting that there are those strings that have already

38:03Lindsey Simcik:established themselves that will kind of come into view or into focus yeah during a time of like unknown i think is really fun to look out for um yeah i feel like you know what's weird too is I've also had an invisible string connection with like someone that I never even connected with. Do you remember? That person that I was like into after my marriage. It was like - Give me clues. Yeah. Sorry, my memory is - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a note on my notes app of 50 synchronicities between us. Yeah, that's so true. Every psychic, every reading, I met all of his exes in sequential order.

38:46order. I ended up going to his house. I ended up like he messed like it was like he did something that I did something right after. So we were connected through that. We like were in the same places within like days of each. It was like insane. And it's so it's weird too that sometimes like you'll have those connections to people and you will never meet them or you'll never like have anything deeper. And sometimes I think invisible string isn't always like to destiny. It's always just to lessons. Like it's just to like it's not just to lessons, but a lot of times it can just be for your soul's growth.

39:17Oh, yeah. It's like we made a commitment in this lifetime to meet. There's some karma we need to clear. There's some things we need to do.

39:23Lindsey Simcik:Definitely. And there's some like stuff that needs to happen. Yeah. It's fun to look at it with like friendships, you know, that kind of I'm thinking about not only you do I have so many strings with my but my friend Ashley, we went to a leadership conference in 10th grade and like connected like we were kind of like leadership conference besties and whatever. But then we ended up going to the same college not knowing yeah and like having that experience there freshman year we were roommates but then we kind of like zigzagged out of each other's lives for no reason other than just like kind of life going different ways and now we're like very close as now moms and there's just kind of like this it's it's it's one of those subtler ones but that I like appreciate when it comes to friendship where like we can kind of weave in and out but we've always been connected Yeah.

40:14And I think sometimes with friendship, we can place so much like meaning and pressure on friendships, like when they zig and zag out. Yes. Yes.

40:22Lindsey Simcik:That there's like such a liberation when you can be like, yeah, we're always connected. Yes. And there might just be a season or longer period of time where we kind of go out, but the string is still there. Well, I think it was beautiful. I mean, you said this yesterday and you were like, you know, I think there's been seasons where we've been more connected. There's more space between us right now. And that's, you know, I think it was so true and just really beautiful to like honor that. Yeah. And be like, wow, like that's true. And I think you and maybe like Caitlin, my sister, and I'm trying to think, I don't have many friends that I feel comfortable in the space.

41:05maybe I'm maybe it's more but that are very close to me I'm still like a little bit like tweaker but it is really nice to be able to have that I'd be like it's okay yeah I think that's actually been a goal of mine over the past year or so two years is to allow spaciousness in my relationships yeah like I have two relationships right now where there's a lot of spaciousness where we don't normally have it and I'm just like continuing to allow it to make it okay because I'm trying to not reach out because I'm uncomfortable in the space, but because I have the desire. And so I'm really working on that of being like, it is okay.

41:42Because I think with our phones and social media and texting and all of that, it's like, there's such an opportunity to be constantly in contact with 5 million people and actually having space is like, okay and healthy. And I've been realizing I'm like stepping into a new season of friendship where it's like, I want more space and I kind of want to it's funny like Sophia Amoruso did this piece where she's like I don't want to have like catch-up friends where you meet each other and you just kind of catch up yeah which I really get that but it was funny because I was almost like oh I kind of want that right now like more like yeah more I'm like oh let's just like okay Kristen and I

Let's just talk about what's going on and like, not like we're deeply so entrenched in each other's stuff all the time and like so invested in needing updates and needing to be caught up and like with everything.

45:10Like I was like wanting a little bit more spaciousness. And I think with women too,

45:15Lindsey Simcik:like I think when you're on the precipice of entering a season where you are going to be with your person, you will build a family, you will be just in a different season. Like I think it's like not that you shouldn't hang out with your girlfriends, shouldn't have friends. It's like there's just like a reorientation, like a healthy, like let's make these aspects of your life more balanced and healthy rather than I think I've definitely had seasons where it's like all about my girlfriends or like almost imbalance, you know, and I wouldn't focus on myself or whatever. Yes. So it's like noticing when that happens, because I think there is just a health in like the ebb and flow.

46:07Lindsey Simcik:Yes. Yes. Yeah. And it's beautiful, too, that you can think about your invisible strings that are like happening or to be revealed. Yeah. Of some ways. It's just been I think dating's been a lot of them, like even men that I haven't, you know, there was this one person that a friend was like a friend dated him. and was like, actually, I think he'd be really good for you. He's super hot, all these things. And I was like, sure, whatever. At that time, I was just a little bit more loose. I'm like, whatever. So she messaged him, even though they had dated. And she's like, hey, I have this person for you.

46:41He's like, I don't want to date influencers. And so he said no. And I told her, I was like, she's like, oh, he said no, dadadad. I'm like, he doesn't want to date influencers. I just knew. And then we ended up connecting on an app. And we went on dates. And he's like, after we connected, I realized you were the same person. And we had like such a good flow, like incredible. And he's like, I messaged Ashley and I was like, I couldn't believe it.

47:03Lindsey Simcik:Wow. So then we dated for a little bit. And then, um, I ended it. We saw each other again at a party like months later. And then there was like one more reconnection point. Like we had three opportunities of like reconnection of us together, which was like so funny. He was amazing, but not my flow. Yeah. Yeah, it is. And it's kind of fun. I think if we're talking about like dating towards, I became more like conscious and not so in my head about dating at the end. And I realized like they were definitely strings, like basically more intros from other people. and like there were those types of strings but then realizing um the why of why they were brought into my life yeah you know what I mean so I think like to go back to like your point about lessons it's like there was a guy that I dated in LA for time is so weird I'm like was it four months or at eight months.

48:05Who knows?

48:06Lindsey Simcik:It's always the time. No, it was longer. And he was actually the sister of one of my friends at SoulCycle. And I really was like so into him. But all he would do was skydive every weekend and never make time for me. And so – Sorry, babe. I'm diving. That was – No, for real. And I actually went skydiving with him one weekend. And that was the first time at the end of that relationship that I, I remember we were at a bar in Venice and I just started to tear up and I was like, I was just so honest. I was like, I just feel like you don't want to spend time with me and you're not making time for me.

48:46Lindsey Simcik:And like, I'm, I just, oh, I said, I deserve more than that, which is like so basic. But like, that was the first time that I just said that and declared that to someone rather than being like, this isn't working. I was like, I deserve better. Wow. So it was like that relationship kind of like reoriented me around that piece. And then there was other ones that kind of reoriented me around like what I was like typically going for. Totally. And then like go for the shorter guy, but who has a lot of confidence and da, da, da. Totally. Go for the guy who owns a sandwich shop. And then. Totally. I had too this invisible string with this girl who was like my arch enemy for like years of my life.

49:26Lindsey Simcik:She. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. Like it's actually negative ones. But so in college, during orientation, I met this girl and beautiful girl. And it was when like everyone was like getting on Facebook and everyone was like becoming friends. But we met in person. And I just didn't, there was something off for me about her, even though you would think that we'd be friends. She was beautiful. She was cool. And so I gave her the wrong phone number because I just didn't, wasn't into it. And I was like, I just didn't want to mess with her. She ended up being in a different sorority, but she ended up being friends with someone that was best friends from home with my college boyfriend.

50:02So my college boyfriend had a girlfriend that was his best friend. She ended up being close with her. So I would see her around and like we always had like a weird, weird thing. And I remember we were like me and her and me and her, me and my boyfriend were in his dorm and then that his best friend girl came in and she was with her. And I remember talking to them about going abroad. And I was like, oh, I'm going abroad. And she's like, where are you going? I was like, I think about Ireland, but I'm not sure. And she made this joke where she was like, do you like green? And he laughed and they laughed.

50:33And I said, something is wrong. And just was like, knew something was off about it. And then I went, I went abroad and I remember I saw one picture of him. I was in Europe, one picture of him and one picture of her. They were talking in the back of a photo, like in a photo album in the back. And I was like, they're hooking up. I told my best friend who I was abroad with, her cousin was dating his roommate. So her cousin was dating my boyfriend's roommate. So those two guys lived together. The cousin would be there all the time. So I was like, get on Facebook, talk to your cousin, who's been at the house of your boyfriend and my boyfriend.

51:17And so we asked her and she's like, Yeah, they've been hooking up. Wow, what a sleuth. And, you know, and I was like, oh my God, I just knew. And then so me and this girl had these weird, like for the rest of like time, like she lived by my hometown. So she grew up by my hometown. I moved to California. She moved to California. Like we would kind of weirdly follow each other in this weird way. And we had this like karmic thing. It was very, very weird.

51:39Lindsey Simcik:I had something similar with like my high school bully. like the girl in eighth grade who like made it her job to make my life hell even though we started as best friends as you do yeah um she eventually ended up leaving high school before the end of high school to pursue a soap opera career that's another story but i was work how many years later we graduated in 2006. In 2000, call it 11 or 12, I'm working at a bar in New York, another bar in New York City. And one day I'm looking at like a schedule that our boss sends us and like kind of who's on, who's going to be working. And I see her name.

52:23Lindsey Simcik:If I've ever had a panic attack in my life, I think that was like when I've had a panic attack. I was like, no, what? Wow. No. Like this is a joke. Wow. Of all the bars in New York City, this girl's going to be working with me. Wow. A few days later, she messages me. She's like, hey, just want to address the elephant in the room. I was like, good for her. Yeah. She was like, I just want to say I'm sorry for everything I put you through. and like I hope that like you know we can work together and like it won't be too weird and whatever and I was like yeah I was like it's okay I forgive you like that was a huge part of like my young life that was very like formidable is like negative yeah but it was it really was and so I was like whoa god is so crazy like that string needed to be pulled a little bit more where like we kind of had a full circle like moment yeah of like I forgive you and she had clarity around like what she had done and um we ended up being totally fine when we were working together and and then I just saw her more clearly for who she really is in terms of like her her pain and wounding you know I was just like oh wow like I really feel for her and now I can't find her anywhere.

53:48Wow. It like, actually, I think about it probably once a month. What? Poofers. Were they just like poof in your life? No, she poofed. Like there's two of them from my high

53:57Lindsey Simcik:school class that poofed. And I'm nervous. One of them is like no longer with us. I'm not sure. But I'm like, what happened? Yeah. It's such a weird, such a weird thing. That's so crazy. Yeah. It's, the karmic lesson is complete. And then that's what I, you know, I've said that before that I think sometimes once the cycle is complete with someone, they no longer show up in your life. Maybe they just don't exist. They just completely don't exist. Maybe they never existed. I sometimes think people don't exist. No, maybe. No, seriously. Sometimes like people will like, I'll see someone on the street and they'll say something to me, like something that God wants me to know.

54:32Yeah. And then they'll never exist again. Like they'll just, not degrading them, but just degrading, like talking about the experience of like multiple timelines, multiple realities. Yes. Like, you know, when some, like the other day I was in Chicago and this guy was like you have really beautiful like the valet guys you have really beautiful energy there's like no one like you he puts my bags in the car I look around and he's completely gone I like no I have no idea where he is like it was like so

54:56Lindsey Simcik:and when does the valet guy have that conscious awareness of like I know yeah exactly sorry no that's an assumption but I think strangers and random people are always the people that speak the most yeah and to you yeah you know I think you're much more open and susceptible like I think when someone loves you you're kind of like yeah yeah yeah you know they're like oh they're you're really amazing okay yeah yeah but like when a stranger does it you're like so much more that's so true so basically you guys can't miss what's meant for you yeah i'm excited to see my my strings in my life and how those sort of it does make life so much more fun yeah it makes life so much so much more fun tell us about your strings message us dm us i would love to hear um maybe your strengths related to us.

55:36Lindsey Simcik:Yes. Yes, exactly. And I know for the people that are in, you know, their pivot seasons and transforming their life and ways of transformation and change, it's like, this is like the time when like, maybe the dots are not connecting at all. And you're actually creating the dots that are going to govern the rest of your life. So listening to just the call of your soul and the call of what maybe feels different and unique and just following that thread. Yeah. Yeah, because there's usually, you know, even if it doesn't turn into the thing that you think it will, there's usually so many even better things that show up and lessons to be had.
