Episode Details

Change is constant—sometimes it drifts in like a gentle tide, other times it crashes over us like a storm. In this heartfelt episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana welcomes Laura Bratton, author, speaker, and founder of UBI Global, who has lived through profound change and emerged with courage, resilience, and deep wisdom.

Diagnosed with an eye disease at age nine and facing the reality of blindness, Laura spent over a decade adjusting to life without sight. Through breathwork, mindfulness, community support, and a refusal to let her circumstances define her, she discovered the power of presence and resilience.

Together, Sana and Laura explore:
Why acknowledging the difficulty of change is the first step toward healing
How mindfulness isn’t sugarcoating reality, but creating space to fully feel our emotions
Simple, accessible practices like breath awareness, body scans, and connecting with nature
The role of community support when self-belief feels impossible
How to find anchors that steady us when the ground shifts beneath our feet

Laura reminds us that mindfulness is not about denying pain—it’s about meeting it with awareness, courage, and compassion. Whether you’re navigating career upheaval, personal transitions, or unexpected loss, this conversation offers both grounding tools and heartfelt encouragement.
