Season Two - Episode Six | The Internal Pivot: Margaret Lindemann

This week on Unscripted, I’m joined by Margaret Lindemann, Business Manager of A One Fire & Safety in Toowoomba, Queensland. But Margaret’s story isn’t about starting a new business or switching industries, it’s about the quiet, internal pivot of letting go.

Margaret opens up about what it really looks like to evolve from doing everything to delegating with trust, from holding control tightly to releasing it, and from being burnt out to intentionally prioritising self-care. In a family-run business that has grown rapidly over the years, Margaret’s role had become all-consuming, until she realised something had to shift.

Key Themes:

• Redefining what it means to be ‘in control’
• Delegating with intention and trust
• Running a family business while maintaining your own identity
• From burnout to boundaries
• The mental shift that happens when you step back
• Why letting go can be the most courageous act of all
• The difference between being needed and being essential

Margaret’s story is a powerful reminder that not all pivots require external change. Some of the most transformative ones happen within.
