Harnessing Change with Grit and Gratitude | Laura Bratton on Losing Her Sight and Finding Strength

Great conversation with Laura Bratton. At nine years old, Laura was diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease and spent the next decade slowly losing her sight. In this episode, we talk about what it actually feels like to go blind over time, how she processed the grief and anger, and how she rebuilt her life with a foundation of grit and gratitude.We get into the practical side of navigating big life changes—how to stay grounded when everything is shifting, how to move forward without pretending it’s “all good,” and how gratitude can be a tool instead of a cliché. Laura also shares insights from her work as a speaker and coach, and from her book Harnessing Courage, giving listeners real strategies for facing their own transitions and losses.Laura’s website (speaking & coaching): https://www.laurabratton.com/🔗 Stay connected & join the journey:📍 TikTok: @thekiddandfriendspodcast📍 Instagram: @dynamokidd | @thekiddandfriendspodcast📍 X (Twitter): @dynamokidd📍 LinkedIn: Christopher Perry💥 Support the podcast & explore these awesome resources:🎬 World of Literature and Film Festival – Explore groundbreaking films & literature:🔗 Wolf Media Festival🍄 Cultivating Wisdom – Microdosing & mushroom-inspired apparel (use code Perry for 20% off!):🔗 Shop Now🎶 MuseFlow – Learn how to sight-read music & play piano (use code Kidd50 for a special discount!):🔗 Start Playing Today25% OFF All ETHA Kratom ProductsCode: KIDD25Shop: https://www.ethanaturals.com/discount/kidd25Premium, lab-tested kratom.🔥 Tune in, subscribe, and let's go on this wild ride together! 🔥LauraBratton, HarnessingChange, GritAndGratitude, OvercomingAdversity, MentalHealth, PersonalGrowth, PersonalDevelopment, Resilience, BlindnessAwareness, DisabilityAwareness, MindsetShift, Spirituality, FaithAndResilience, Wellness, Wellbeing, ChangeManagement, LifeTransitions, Inspiration, MotivationalStories, TheKiddAndFriendsPodcast
