Peace sounds like something you find after life settles down. But what if it’s something you build from the inside, even while your body is stressed, grieving, or adapting to a new normal? That question guides our conversation with Laura Bratton, speaker, coach, and author whose life changed when she lost her sight young and had to relearn how to move through a sighted world without pretending it was easy.

Laura shares the two tools she relies on daily: grit and gratitude. We get specific about what grit actually looks like when you’re anxious or overwhelmed like naming the feeling, giving it room, then choosing one more action anyway. We also unpack gratitude without toxic positivity. Think less “be happy” and more “notice what is still supporting you in the middle of frustration,” from relationships to accessible tech to the simple truth that you’ll be okay tonight.

We also talk about mindset shift, self-compassion, and why “I am enough” can be a genuine turning point for mental health, resilience, and peace within your body. You’ll leave with practical ideas you can try today, including a simple gratitude practice that retrains attention over time.
