About Elaine Lindsay:

At 16, my dear friend Andrea ended her life by suicide. Her untimely death profoundly impacted my life. Within four years, I found myself at death's door, though not by my own hand. In an odd twist of fate, I was lying on the highway directly in front of Andrea's grave.

Currently, I'm working on my first TED Talk titled 'The Insanity of Vanity: It Killed Me Twice!' and penning the first draft of my debut book—a lesson-rich biography chronicling my journey from self-hatred, deep grief, and loss, through death, destruction, addiction, and awakening, to fully embracing life at 68.

I've spent over 50 years climbing out of the darkness I created to hide the monster I saw in the mirror.

Guest Bio:

I want to speak to the broken, and to the brokenness in each of us. I do this for you. Our levels of stress, anxiety, and depression are at all-time highs, and it is taking its toll on our professional and personal lives. I think there are some things every human on this planet shares, and struggle is one of them. Little and big our life challenges pile up and can keep us from our best selves. Unfortunately I have seen so many people losing the battle.

It’s estimated that stress, anxiety, and depression costs American business$384 billion annually in lost productivity, health costs, low morale, poor performance, tardiness, and absenteeism; I can’t imagine what it is costing us personally.

That is why I share that our company of 25 has a chaplain, and a mental wellness coach as well as a “Dream Manager” program where our company will offer our knowledge resources to help employees navigate the complexities of achieving a life “dream”; we think it is important to help people find purpose and meaning in life.

In 2016 I summited Mount Rainier and raised $25,000 to build a school for special needs children in rural Guatemala. Everyone who works at our company gets a carabiner as a reminder we make it epic when we do it with purpose.

My sister subsequently lived a life of “why me” and despite my pleas ‘not to make me burry her too’, she died from alcoholism after my consent to remove life support. Four months after my sister’s death I had a single car accident, and my close friend did not survive. I was...
