  • From Tragedy to Triumph with Noelle Lambert | Beyond the Shades Ep. 1
    Jun 22 2026

    What happens when your entire future changes in an instant?

    In the debut episode of Beyond the Shades, Shady Rays founder Chris Ratterman sits down with Paralympian, motivational speaker, and Survivor contestant Noelle Lambert-Beirne to discuss one of the most inspiring comeback stories you'll ever hear.

    After a devastating moped accident resulted in the loss of her leg while she was a collegiate athlete, Noelle faced a choice: allow tragedy to define her or create a new path forward. She chose the latter. Today, she is a Paralympic track and field athlete, founder of the Born to Run Foundation, accomplished speaker, and fan-favorite competitor from Survivor 43.

    Chris and Noelle discuss resilience, overcoming adversity, competing at the highest level, the lessons learned from Survivor, and how maintaining the right mindset can help anyone navigate life's toughest challenges.

    This is a conversation about grit, perseverance, and discovering what's possible when you refuse to let obstacles define your future.
