Lindsey Redfern
Entrepreneur & Writer
When Good Things Fall Apart So Better Things Can Fall Together
Lindsey Redfern's essays on adoption and infertility have gained national attention. She remains a strong advocate for open adoption and believes that the education that leads to real change happens around the dinner table with family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers. She's been featured on local and national networks for her ability to find a spark of hope in uncertain and even dark times. She is a ghostwriter for several organizations, teaches classes on living a more natural lifestyle, loves to garden, go on dates with her husband, and cheer on their 5 kiddos as they navigate life. She graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in elementary education but stopped teaching after 4 years when they adopted their oldest child. She's been working from home ever since.
