about Lindsey
Lindsey Noland is an experienced speaker, mother to a pediatric cancer survivor, ambassador for Stanford’s Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, and serves as the Director of Women’s Ministry for her multi-campus church in San Luis Obispo, CA. With a background in Communication Studies (BA Westmont College), and an honorary degree in cancer fighting (school of life), Lindsey knows the power of owning and telling our stories. Lindsey is passionate about sharing her experience of leaning into her struggle, not her strength. Her stories will make you laugh and cry and remind you that there is power in weakness and joy in leaning into your struggle. When she isn’t working or hiking the trails of the Central Coast, Lindsey spends her time writing and rewriting her first book, traveling with her husband of 17 years, and jumping on the trampoline with her three children (12, 10 & 8).
Underneath her daughter's strength, Lindsey Noland could see something that took her breath away. "One of the very first days when she was dancing, I was watching behind the window they have here and I was watching her move her body gracefully," Claire's mother said. "It felt like she was healing as she was dancing." On stage, Claire takes back the body cancer once claimed. "That's what all of us hope for our children, that they navigate really challenging situations with grace and beauty," Lindsey Noland said. "It wasn't all tragedy. There were some beautiful things that were part of it."
