On a mission to leave the world a little better than how she found it, Mindy strives to help create a world where inclusion is the norm, where people see possibilities instead of limitations, and where no challenge is too big to overcome.

Mindy is no stranger to “Doing Hard Things” and shares a few of her many examples of how she was able to turn “Nos” into “Yes’” throughout her life in this episode. Whether it was adopting a child in China, writing a NEW book, or starting her own business, Mindy has some great tips on how to get it done!

Driven to build a world that welcomes and includes EVERYONE, Mindy is a powerful leader in disability/ability rights, with specific interests in accessible air travel, universal design, inclusive style, and better representation for the disabled community in entertainment.

Mindy is also an accomplished author. Her book, "The Truth About Things That Suck" is for anyone who wants a new perspective on adversity when times get tough.
