Lindsay Cadigan is always up for a party! A proud Minnesota native, Lindsay began her career in professional sports, which led to a confetti-filled path in special events spanning more than 15 years. Her passion for celebration and storytelling shines through in everything she does—from her role as former Director of Events at Boston magazine to founding Cadigan Creative, a boutique firm specializing in nonprofit event strategy.

Lindsay is the author of the joyful picture book series, “The Confetti Yeti” and is currently working on her debut chapter book series, Patty the Party Planner, set to release in 2026. She lives in Boston with her husband and their energetic twin boys, where she’s known for turning even the simplest coffee date into a meaningful celebration.

During this episode, we discuss:

• Deciding to go the self-publishing route and getting full control over her book
• Offering consulting work for other writers and authors
