Leaving Politics & Capitol Hill to make Designer Lamp Shades - Interview with Linda Daniel

When burnout hit after a high-powered career in Washington, D.C., Linda Daniel didn’t fade out—she lit up. Trading politics for pattern and pressure for passion, she launched L. Daniel Lampshades, a vibrant business built on creativity, humor, and heart. From teaching on a Navajo reservation to designing for celebrity salons, Linda’s story proves it’s never too late to start over, no matter how unexpected the pivot.

In this episode, we talk creativity, courage, and color—plus how to balance ambition with joy. You’ll laugh, you’ll get inspired, and you might just look at your lampshade (and your life) a little differently. Tune in for a conversation that’s equal parts witty, wise, and wildly relatable.
