186: How I Learned To See Through The Eyes Of My Sons with Kristin Smedley

Kristin Smedley is an award winning non-profit leader, TEDx speaker, and author - but she never planned on any of that. Kristin did plan to be a great third grade teacher, however her personal path to greatness took an unexpected turn when two of her three children were diagnosed as blind. She had to learn the tools of blindness and build a team of experts that would help her navigate this path that she had not been trained for. Kristin’s two blind sons are now thriving as gifted high school students, elected student council officials, baseball championship winners, International Braille competition finalists, and social butterflies.
