About Lindsey Kerns

I’m the Co-Founder and CEO of Thrive with Peritoneal Dialysis, a patient-first company building supportive tools, education, and community for people living with PD — grounded in the belief that thriving is the expectation, not the exception.My work sits at the intersection of lived experience, brand strategy, and human-centered design. Over the past two decades, I’ve built and advised conscious brands by helping them translate complex, often emotional experiences into clear, trustworthy, and meaningful solutions. That perspective now informs how I lead — by listening deeply, designing thoughtfully, and staying rooted in real life.I’m also the founder of Malibu Mama Loves, where my work as an author, trauma-informed guide, and brand strategist has focused on conscious living, healing, and personal transformation. My first book, Treat Yourself Well: 8 Steps to Conscious Living, reflects a long-standing belief that growth begins when we create space for awareness, compassion, and intentional choice.Across every chapter of my career, one theme remains constant: turning challenge into clarity, and pain into purpose — not through perfection, but through presence and practical action.I’m drawn to building things that matter, in spaces where people are often overwhelmed or underserved, and I believe the most impactful work happens when empathy and execution meet.
