    From Loss to Light: Lindsay Mitcheson's Inspirational Story

    Lyndsay Mitcheson's journey is one of resilience, creativity, and transformation. After losing her leg to an MRSA infection, she set out to design a walking stick she could feel proud to use. What began in her kitchen became Neo Walk, a bold brand of stylish, colourful acrylic walking sticks that empower people living with disabilities to embrace their mobility with confidence and pride. Neo Walk now ships to over 28 countries and offers a wide range of designs- from sleek classics to light-up sticks- redefining what mobility aids can look and feel like. Lyndsay’s mission is simple but powerful: to make walking sticks that people actually want to use. In 2023, Neo Walk received both a National Diversity Award and a Women in Business Award, and its unique designs have even appeared on red carpets through collaborations with Hollywood stylists. Lyndsay’s story is a powerful reminder that personal challenges can spark meaningful change- and that mobility aids can be more than functional; they can be beautiful, bold, and proudly carried.

    Love Over Fear: Lisa Stuart's Guide to Peace Amidst the Chaos

    This week on Truth Tastes Funny, Hersh sits down with Lisa Stuart — wife, mom of three, attorney, speaker, and author — who’s rewriting the rules of balance and self-acceptance. Lisa refuses to be boxed in by labels, and her soon-to-be-released book The Drama Diet (with companion card decks available now) offers a fresh, sustainable path to peace amid the chaos of life. What makes Lisa’s approach different is her willingness to face the drama head-on — whether it’s the noise in our own heads or the judgments that come from outside. She reminds us that light doesn’t mean denying the dark; it means dancing with it. Her guiding mantra says it all: “Dance with your darkness, but let love take the lead.” This conversation is equal parts truth, humor, and heart — a reminder that fear can walk beside us, but love is always in charge.
