Little Pink Boxes For You and Me

Welcome! I’m Lindsay.

I grew up on recipes passed down from the women in my family, and as I got older, I started baking them in my own kitchen. My first mission was perfecting the staples — triple chocolate chip cookies, brownies, lemon bars. The passion grew, and before I knew it, I was catering birthdays, baby showers, industry mixers, and weddings for friends. 

Other work kept me busy over the next decade. I managed a hair salon, I nannied. I recorded two albums, and eventually I became a full-time photographer. But my baked goods came along with me everywhere, as did their little pink boxes.  

Then in March of 2020 — after a tornado passed through Nashville, Covid took out all foreseeable photoshoots, my laptop broke, and even the plumbing stopped working — I decided to bake some cookies about it. As it would turn out, I wasn’t the only one who needed comfort. People all over town asked if I would deliver, and within a week I’d baked nearly 1,000 cookies. 

Seeds were planted + watered throughout many seasons. At the most unexpected time, in the wildest way I can imagine, God finally said, “Go.” And I said, “Okay.” And Linden Bakeshop was born.

The following Summer, coming from a life-long devotion to feminist theology, I also created The Workshop — a container for my 1:1 spiritual guidance. I’d always been my close circle’s go-to, but with everybody in a collective dark-night-of-the-soul moment, I began offering intentional Dreamwork and Deep Dive sessions. Sharing about a Love that meets us from within and gets us through it. Teaching about faith that includes heart vision. Talking about co-creating with the divine. Especially with women — honoring those who gave me what I know, the wisdom, power, and strength that’s so often been undermined or left out of the cultural story. Now we reclaim it together, with baked goods as our communion.
