In this episode of The Main Character Podcast, I sit down with Lindsey to explore her courageous and deeply personal journey through breast cancer. Lindsey walks us through the choices she made—especially her decision to explore alternative treatments like cryoablation—and the empowerment that came from trusting her intuition over pressure from the traditional medical system.
We talk about the emotional complexity of family dynamics in the middle of a health crisis, and what it means to hold your own when the people around you don’t always understand your decisions. Lindsey shares how nutrition, fasting, and lifestyle changes played a major role in her healing journey—not just physically, but mentally and spiritually.
From parenting and dating after cancer to business, boundaries, and faith, this conversation is about agency, resilience, and choosing to live fully in the face of uncertainty. Lindsey’s story is proof that healing isn’t just about fighting—it’s about reclaiming your power, redefining what wellness means for you, and building a life that aligns with who you really are.
