167. Seeing Life Differently: 10 Lessons from Losing My Sight (Part 2)

As I reflect on this time of year, I’m reminded of a turning point that changed my life forever—losing sight in my left eye 20 years ago. That experience taught me lessons I never expected, showing me that sometimes the hardest things really do happen for you, not to you.

In the second part of this personal two-part series (be sure to check out part one here if you missed it!) I’ll share 10 powerful lessons that reshaped my life, mindset, and approach to business. These insights go beyond resilience and reveal how a new perspective can transform any challenge into a stepping stone. Whether you’re facing your own obstacles or just looking to shift your outlook, I hope these takeaways help you see (pun intended) things a little differently.

Episode Highlights:

• [5:00] - Sharing your weaknesses or disability with those that support and mentor you not only helps you, but how they can interact with you better.
