What happens when love isn’t enough to stay?
On this episode of Modern Woman, Redefined, Lindy Klim gets raw and unfiltered about the toxic marriage that broke her, the moment she realised she had to leave, and how she rebuilt her life from the ground up. “It was so toxic and controlling, I didn’t realise it was happening.” Forced to ask family and friends for financial help, she made the terrifying decision to start over. She doesn’t see her second divorce as failure - she sees it as freedom.
We discuss:
Lindy’s story is one of resilience, hard choices, and reclaiming her power - she is proof that starting over isn’t the end, it’s a new beginning.

Hello and welcome to Episode 8, season 3 of FemmeCon Pod!
Today’s guest is Amanda Leigh Walker, who is co-founder of Lord of the Fries, Australasia’s largest vegan fast food franchise. Fourteen years ago, Amanda woke up one day and asked herself, “Is this all there is?” She had lost herself somewhere along the line in the roles of ‘good wife’ and ‘good mother’ and didn’t know who she was anymore. This question sparked a journey back to herself.
During this journey, she made the difficult decision to leave her marriage in pursuit of something more, something she was unsure of but excited to discover. This episode explores the process from when she first realised something was missing and how she came to make the decision to choose herself.
