Overcoming Obstacles, Finding Purpose & Meaning - Klyn Elsbury

Overcoming Obstacles, Finding Purpose & Meaning - Klyn Elsbury

Klyn was born with Cystic Fibrosis and Doctors didn’t give her more than 14 years to live. She’s now 30 and has beaten the odds time and time again. She is somebody who has pushed herself over and over, from becoming a fitness fanatic, Zumba instructor, public speaker, entrepreneur, and businesswoman, all while still suffering from a genetic disease that requires extended hospital visits on a regular basis.
 
She is the author of the book “I Am - The Untold Story of Success” and it’s an incredible message of grit, perseverance, and self-acceptance. She has become an advocate for encouraging others to go after their dreams no matter what obstacles lay in their path. She’s also been featured on countless podcasts, publications and even interviewed on US Nightly News with Lester Holt.
