TEDx Traverse City

Friends, I was invited to speak at TEDx Traverse City's Pitch Night on Wednesday, February 28.  My pitch is entitled Igniting Courage: Summoning Resilience When Adversity Roars.

My kids and I have been on a journey of tremendous heartache, yet we have chosen to summon courage and heart. We have found sunshine in the darkness. And our compassion for others and love for life has grown exponentially. It's time for our story to be heard. And it's time to offer a glimmer of hope for anyone who is in need of a little more courage, a little more resilience and a little more life.

Your support would mean the world to me as I walk onto that stage. I feel terror, exhilaration and a strong summoning all at the same time. My emotions surrounding this feel tumultuous.

It has taken a village for my kids and I to come through the darkness. I invite you, my amazing village of friends, family, and colleagues, to come and once again lend your support. Each of you means the world to Cole, Avery and I. Thank you for your prayers, positive intentions and for bravely standing by our sides. I hope to see your warm eyes and big hearts in the audience. Goodness knows, I will need it. With deep breaths and lots of courage, Lindsay ❤
