24. Following Breadcrumbs: A Midlife Pivot to Fine Art Photography with Deb Achak

Deb Achak did not set out to be a fine art photographer. She set out to survive. After leaving a career in social work, caring for her mother through lung cancer, losing her mother, and then twenty-five days later giving birth to her second son, and navigating years of grief while raising two young boys, Deb picked up a camera. Not because she had a plan. Because something in her needed it. In this episode of Welcome to Your B-Side, Dr. Amy Lindsey sits down with her friend Deb to talk about what it actually looks like to follow breadcrumbs without knowing where they lead. Deb's story is not about a dramatic pivot or a bold leap. It is about slowly, quietly, patiently following one thing to the next - a self-portraiture group, a filmmaking workshop, a fine art printing lab, an underwater camera housing - until one day she rounded a corner in her house and heard three words: art on walls. This episode is also about grief, identity, imposter syndrome, keeping your creative work quiet while it develops, and why art is not frivolous. It is what makes life worth living. Dr. Amy notes at the top of this episode that this is her last episode of Welcome to Your B-Side for a while as she follows her own next breadcrumb. In this episode, you will learn:<ul><li>Why following breadcrumbs without a plan is sometimes the most direct path to where you are supposed to be</li><li>Why keeping your creative work quiet in the early stages is not secretive, it is protective</li><li>How grief can crack you open in a way that points you toward something you never planned for</li><li>Why imposter syndrome gets quieter the longer you stay in your work, and how to turn the volume down on it before it does</li><li>Why art is not a hobby or a luxury, it is medicine, and what it actually does for your nervous system</li></ul>Reminder: Nothing in this podcast is a substitute for medical or professional advice. Always consult your own doctor. KEY MOMENTS:<ul><li>6:52 — Why you don't need a plan to start</li><li>16:12 — The flash of insight that said art on walls, and the inner critic that followed</li><li>23:07 — The match and bonfire: why sharing your creative work too early can put the fire out</li><li>26:38 — Identity shift, imposter syndrome, and turning the volume down</li><li>32:46 — Art as medicine and what collecting beauty does for your nervous system</li><li>36:48 — If it doesn't make sense, that kind of means you need to do it</li></ul> ABOUT DEB ACHAK:Deb Achak is a Seattle-based fine art photographer working in large-scale color photography. Her work explores interior landscapes and the emotional and metaphysical connections between human experience and the natural world. Her photographs have been exhibited widely across the United States and internationally. Before photography, she spent nearly a decade in social work at Harborview Medical Center and later earned her graduate degree in social work from the University of Washington. She came to photography in her forties and built her career from there.

23. Talking Sh*t About People Limits YOU

Integrity is not just about showing up on time or doing what you said you would do. It goes deeper than that. In this episode of Welcome to Your B-Side, Dr. Amy Lindsey breaks down why integrity - real integrity, through and through to the bone - is directly connected to your health. When you are out of integrity, there is a current of stress running beneath the surface of your life that your body, mind, and spirit are absorbing. And most people never connect the two. Dr. Amy starts with a conversation at a French nail salon, moves through a discussion about judgment, gossip, and what it actually costs you to limit other people, and lands on something bigger: you do not get to go after your wildest dreams and the life you want while simultaneously boxing other people in and taking advantage of them. That is not integrity. And it will cost you. In this episode, you will learn:<ul><li>Why integrity goes far deeper than being on time or keeping your word, and what it actually means for your health</li><li>How being out of integrity creates a hidden current of stress that impacts your physical, mental, and spiritual health</li><li>Why limiting and judging other people is the same as limiting yourself, and how that connects to your confidence and your dreams</li><li>What it looks like to love a culture while betraying the people who created it, and why that does not have integrity</li><li>Practical things you can do right now to live with more integrity toward other people and yourself</li></ul>Reminder: Nothing in this podcast is a substitute for medical or professional advice. Always consult your own doctor. KEY MOMENTS:<ul><li>2:01 — How being out of integrity creates a hidden current of stress in your body</li><li>10:24 — When you limit other people, you limit yourself</li><li>11:28 — You build confidence the less you talk shit about other people</li><li>12:17 — Integrity at a geopolitical level: what goes wrong when we oppress other people</li><li>15:38 — The restaurant example: loving a culture and betraying its people</li></ul> RESOURCES:<a href="https://dramylindsey.com/b-side-community/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free B-Side Community on Skool⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> STAY CONNECTED:<ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dramylindsey/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dramylindsey⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-amy-lindsey-nd-00a1236/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li><li><a href="https://dramylindsey.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></li></ul> SUPPORT WELCOME TO YOUR B-SIDE:Subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts + Spotify to help more listeners flip the record to their B-Side.

22. Bucking the Status Quo, Sabbaticals, and Living Your B-Side with Dr. Megan Walker

What does it actually look like to stop keeping one foot out the door and jump in with both feet? In this episode, Dr. Amy Lindsey sits down with Dr. Megan Walker - naturopathic doctor, healthcare entrepreneur, co-founder of Health Hives, speaker, author, and one of Dr. Amy's closest colleagues - for a conversation about what happens when you start reverse engineering the life you actually want. Dr. Megan walked away from her clinical practice, moved her family to Barcelona, launched a software startup, and is building something she says will have a legacy bigger than herself. This episode covers how she got there, including the lottery question that cracked everything open, the six-month sabbatical that decided for her, and why she believes the power is in the contemplation (not just the leap). Dr. Amy and Dr. Megan also get into raising resilient kids without trauma, what purpose does to your health, and why asking who you are without your titles is one of the most important questions you can sit with in midlife. In this episode, you will learn:<ul><li>The lottery question Dr. Megan asks herself before every big decision, and why it is one of the most clarifying things you can do in midlife</li><li>What a sabbatical actually is, why it is not about rest, and why trying on a different identity before committing to it is more powerful than you think</li><li>Why resilience does not have to come from trauma, and how doing hard things builds it just as effectively</li><li>What purpose does to your body, including how it blunts cortisol, reduces cancer risk, and helps people heal faster</li><li>Why the power is in the contemplation, and why you do not have to know if you are the kind of person who would make a bold move before you are allowed to ask the question</li></ul>Reminder: Nothing in this podcast is a substitute for medical or professional advice. Always consult your own doctor. KEY MOMENTS:<ul><li>17:46 — The unaccompanied minor: how Dr. Megan learned to reclaim her independence at age seven</li><li>11:08 — The lottery question that made her realize she was done seeing patients</li><li>22:53 — The six-month sabbatical and selling her practice while walking around Epcot Center</li><li>26:27 — Who are you without your titles? The question most people never stop to ask</li><li>26:28 — What purpose does to your physiology: cortisol, cancer risk, and healing faster</li><li>40:56 — Dr. Megan's B-side: done keeping one foot out the door, going all in</li> </ul>ABOUT DR. MEGAN WALKER:Dr. Megan Walker is a naturopathic doctor, healthcare entrepreneur, co-founder of Health Hives, speaker, author, and podcast host.
