In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Laura Bratton, an author, speaker, and founder of Ubi Global. Diagnosed with an eye disease at nine, Laura faced the life-altering challenge of going blind as a teenager. Instead of letting adversity define her, she embraced grit and gratitude to move forward.

Laura shares her transformative journey, practical strategies for cultivating a healthy mindset, and the importance of shifting our response to fear. If you’re struggling with change—whether personal or professional—this episode will inspire you to trust in your strength and step into the unknown with confidence.
