However, Lindsay’s journey wasn’t always smooth. Lindsay had a wakeup call, realizing she could no longer use her achievements to hide behind the mask of high-functioning depression, anxiety, and a deep-rooted sense of unworthiness. This awakening led to dedicating her life’s work to being a guiding light for individuals and organizations to become the change they want to see. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
