More about Lindsey: Lindsey truly uplifts the vibration of any rooms she’s in. She raises the vibration of the world not only with her with violin music, moving performances, and her inviting creative spirit, but also through her generosity to fans like us and to those in financial need. As you will learn in this episode, it took perseverance, overcoming hard times, and faith in herself to become the artist she has worked hard to become.

While she needs no introduction, we’re gonna give her one! With 12.8M subscribers on her self-titled YouTube Channel, she wows fans with her dancing violin performances, original compositions, and collaborations with artists of all genres. She creates spectacular shows while touring all around the world, and hopefully, she’ll get to do so this year! Lindsey also hosts a YouTube series and podcast called String Sessions in which she collabs and chats with fellow musical artists. As you’ll hear in our conversation, we both loved watching her journey unfold as she and her pro dance partner Mark Ballas competed on DWTS with some of the most creative dances ever on the show! They made it to the finals as runners-up! Many of her songs and albums deliver on key inspirational messages about life — Go check out her latest album, Artemis, inspired by the goddess of the moon.
