Disability Talks: Don't Dis My Ability

This episode features the bubbly personality of Gail Hamilton, a public speaker, opera singer, author, therapist, and former Miss Colorado Senior America. Shelly interviews Gail about the twists and turns that led her to pursue such diverse experiences, never letting blindness ultimately dictate what she can and cannot do, no matter how great her fear. For Gail, no mountain is too high, and she professes that no matter what your dream is, if you can see “it” you can make “it” happen. Listen to Gail share why your desire to fly must be bigger than your fear of falling and how breaking the chains of your thoughts can open you up to new possibilities.

"Blind Ambition" Author, Chad E. Foster, is Thriving With Change Through Life's Blind Spots

This episode features IT business heavy hitter and international motivational speaker, Chad E. Foster, who just wrote his first book, "Blind Ambition." The book is set for release on February 16th. Shelly interviews Chad about his journey, going back to the time he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa through the twists and turns leading to his success today, where he's found gratitude, resilience, and ambition. Chad shares that for many years he actually felt ashamed and embarrassed of his poor eyesight, but through life circumstances, he moved to a place of embracing the very thing he was trying to hide for so many years. During this journey to realization, "life got better" for him, and he no longer felt like he had to pretend to be someone he wasn't. Chad says that he learned to loved himself despite his "imperfection." Today, Chad is a father, husband, business genius, and writer. Chad reminds us that we are the stories we tell ourselves. He asks, so why not tell ourselves something great? Tune in to this episode to hear the rest of Chad's story.
