Hey there
I'm Lyndsey, a Visibility and Personal Brand Expert and Founder of Connected Brighton.
Helping business owners to build confidence, get visible and grow an authentic business that pays the bills!
After launching my own brand during a pandemic (yes, really!), I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to turn a bold idea into a thriving business, even when the timing feels impossible.
Now, I combine lived experience with practical strategies to support others in doing the same, with purpose, passion and a healthy dose of encouragement.
HOW I GOT HERE
This is my Story
My journey to entrepreneurship wasn’t a straight path. Infertility and divorce led me to a crossroads, and while it wasn’t the life I’d planned, it opened the door to a whole new chapter.
When I launched my brand during the pandemic, it wasn’t easy, but it taught me that even in the most uncertain times, it’s possible to turn a bold idea into a thriving business.
It showed me that sharing your story, getting visible, and building authentic connections are the keys to growth.
Over the years, I’ve built an award-winning brand that combines community, confidence, and genuine support. I’ve learned how to create content that resonates, how to stand out in a crowded market, and how to lead with purpose and integrity – lessons I now bring to every client I work with.
Today, I draw on that experience to help business owners turn their ideas into reality. I believe that with the right guidance and a clear vision, you can build a business that feels aligned, sustainable, and truly yours to nurture and grow.
Because I know first hand that when you lead with heart, incredible things can happen.
