In this episode of People of Greenville, Eric Mitchell sits down with the remarkable Laura Bratton—author, speaker, coach, and true embodiment of courage and resilience. Laura shares her powerful personal journey of losing her eyesight at a young age and how she chose not to let that define her, but instead used it as a platform to inspire others.

Laura is the author of Harnessing Courage: Overcoming Adversity with Grit & Gratitude, a book that blends raw honesty with empowering tools for anyone navigating tough seasons of life. In this interview, Laura opens up about what it truly means to live with intention, find strength in the face of challenge, and practice gratitude when life feels uncertain.

This conversation dives deep into mindset, perseverance, and the importance of shifting from “Why me?” to “What now?” Eric and Laura talk about practical ways to tap into inner strength, the role of community in overcoming obstacles, and how adversity—when approached with courage—can actually lead us to our greatest breakthroughs.

Whether you’re facing your own challenges, supporting someone you love, or just need a boost of perspective and hope, this episode will leave you feeling encouraged and empowered.
