Many Happy Miles: Defying the Odds with Siri Lindley

If you need a dose of optimism and hope (who doesn’t?!), then you’ll love hearing from our endlessly positive guest, Siri Lindley. A world champion triathlete turned world-renowned triathlon coach, Siri shares some of her magical thinking with us—and how her determination and stubbornness has helped her triumph over significant obstacles throughout her life. Specifically, Siri touches on:

• How she went from not knowing how to swim to becoming a top triathlete;
• How coming out as gay helped her find her truth, despite the challenges she faced;
• How she kept her hope and spirit intact during a harrowing leukemia battle;
• And more lessons, in which she details in her new memoir, Finding a Way.
