In this episode of Carrie's Always Talking, Carrie speaks with Laura Bratton, who shares her profound journey of losing her sight due to a rare retinal disease. She discusses the emotional turmoil of denial and acceptance, the vital support from her family, and the importance of self-compassion and gratitude in navigating life's challenges. Laura emphasizes the significance of acknowledging grief while moving forward and how her experiences inspired her to write a book, 'Harnessing Courage,' aimed at empowering others facing change. Through her nonprofit, she continues to support individuals in their transitions, advocating for the recognition of grief in all forms and the power of resilience.
