Surviving an amputated leg and then surviving dual lung transplant with Lindsey Roy, business executive and speaker

Today I sit down with Lindsey Roy. I was introduced to her through a mutual connection who thought she would be a great fit to be on the podcast.

After some research, I was blown away by her story and was so grateful when she agreed to come on the show.  10 years ago, Lindsey was in a serious boating accident, which lead to an amputation. Then just 10 months ago, she underwent a double lung transplant.

Not only has she kept a positive outlook during these trials, but she has continued to win at work, and at home. She is a successful business leader with Hallmark, a wife for 15 years, and a mother to 2 kids.

Her story is one of resilience and faith that I think all of us could learn and be encouraged by.
