Embracing Change with Grit and Gratitude with Laura Bratton

In this episode of Divine Decode, host Pragya sits down with Laura Bratton—author, coach, and the first blind graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary—to explore what it really means to navigate life’s toughest changes. From losing her sight as a child to becoming a global voice for resilience and leadership, Laura’s story is a reminder that change doesn’t have to break us—it can reshape us.

This conversation goes beyond inspiration—it’s a practical masterclass on handling fear, resistance, burnout, and uncertainty. Whether you’re managing career confusion, family pressures, or everyday setbacks, Laura’s insights on grit and gratitude will help you shift perspective and take the next small, powerful step forward.

About the Guest:

Laura Bratton is an international speaker, coach, and author who empowers individuals and organizations to navigate change with courage, grit, and gratitude. Despite losing her sight at a young age, she reframed her challenges into opportunities to lead and inspire. Laura now helps people embrace their “new normal” and transform limitations into strengths.

Key Takeaways:

• Resilience is built through support systems—family, teachers, and friends who believe in us when we don’t.

• Resistance to change fuels anxiety; acceptance, though difficult, creates space for growth.

• Grit means choosing to keep moving forward in hard moments, while gratitude grounds us in what helps us along the way.

• Limitations don’t have to define us; our mindset and response to challenges are where real strength lies.

• To tackle burnout or overwhelm, start by acknowledging the feeling—then take one small action to move forward.
