Five years later, while on a getaway, a tragic boating accident nearly claimed her life and left her with an amputated left leg and other severe limb injuries. The recovery was brutal, but she stayed relentlessly focused on not just healing, but emerging stronger. She eventually shared what trauma had taught her about happiness in a TEDx talk that has been viewed nearly 180,000 times to date. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEight years after the accident, another life-altering event: Lindsey was diagnosed with a rare and progressive disease that destroyed the blood vessels in her lungs, requiring a double-lung transplant. Instead of getting stuck in thoughts of \"Why did this happen to me?\", she reembraced her own advice and championed a new outlook: letting go of one life vision in order to unlock hidden advantages and new depths of resilience in oneself. Now a sought-after speaker, she's imparting these hard-won lessons to help you adapt, disrupt, and innovate in your own life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese are valuable insights forged in the fire -- from Lindsey's journey and from other inspiring individuals she's met along the way.
