Grit and Gratitude: How to Face Change With Courage

from The Dr. Mary Louder Show · host Mary Louder, DO

I’m honoured to introduce you to Laura Bratton in this episode. At the age of nine, Laura was diagnosed with an eye disease and faced the difficult reality that she would become blind. Over the next ten years she experienced the traumatic transition of adjusting to life without sight. She is the author of the book, Harnessing Courage, and she founded Ubi Global, which is an organization that provides speaking and coaching to empower all people to overcome challenges and obstacles with grit and gratitude.Our conversation today is about the differences between grit and grind, how gratitude can be a tool for moving forward through the grief of profound change, and finding new sources of strength through community and courage. Most of all, we focus on the role of choice in navigating change and grief--listen to learn more about this key element in facing change with courage.I hope you'll both enjoy this episode and find it inspiring, as I did. And remember--the safest place to be, especially during a time of change, is connected to yourself. From there, you can go anywhere. Find out more about Laura here:  https://www.laurabratton.com
