Lindsey Roy

Lindsey is also a voice on the speaking circuit sharing her personal story. A tragic boating accident while on vacation almost claimed Lindsey’s life and left her with an amputated left leg, severely injured right leg and injured right arm. Through a challenging recovery process, Lindsey learned impactful lessons on how to harness disruption and find clarity in the chaos. She did a TED talk in 2017 titled “What Trauma Taught Me About Happiness.” Almost ten years following that disruption, Lindsey found herself taking her own lessons when she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition that destroyed her lungs. A grateful recipient of a double lung transplant, Lindsey learned even more lessons on the importance of resilience, faith and grit. Lindsey recently authored a book entitled, The Gift of Perspective: Wisdom I Gained From Losing a Leg and Two Lungs. The book will release later this year.
