HI, I'M LINDSAY.

conversations with leaders, teams, and individuals, she helps organizations
build emotional resilience so people can navigate pressure, uncertainty, and
change without losing themselves.

Known for her engaging presentations, Lindsay blends psychology,
neuroscience, compelling stories, humor, and meaningful audience
interaction to transform research into practical tools that audiences can
immediately apply.

Lindsay earned her master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the University
of Utah and is the host of the Therapy Utah Podcast. She is a frequent guest

As a wife and mother of four, she believes families are life’s greatest
classroom—where we learn to love, grow, apologize, and begin again. She
believes deeply in the goodness of people and the remarkable capacity we all
have to heal, grow, and show up for one another.
