Overcoming Adversity

Mindy gave her first speech at the age of four, while serving as the Texas State Poster Child for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Despite doctors’ predictions that she would not live to be three and a neuromuscular condition that sentenced her to life in a wheelchair, Mindy held her title with pride and received many gifts. As she made television appearances and gave speeches, she learned she had contributions to make, she learned to find good in bad situations and she learned to apply that philosophy to every challenge she has come up against.

Today, on her list of credits, Mindy has a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree, a loving husband, a trip to China to adopt their beautiful daughter, a successful career managing teams of highly skilled professionals, multiple singing appearances on national television, a long list of public speaking credits and a passion for making the impossible, possible.

Mindy believes that if we can accept life’s challenges with grace and courage, we can always find peace. Mindy’s greatest wish is to bring hope to the audiences she speaks to and to show others through her own story, how rich their own lives truly are.
