The World As I See It Episode 47: If I Could See Anyone: Who Would I Want to See and Why?

In this episode, I'm tackling a deeply personal and interesting question that recently caught me completely off guard: If I were suddenly given the gift of sight and could look at anyone in the world, who would it be and why? Because I have been completely blind my entire life, the concept of visual appearance and facial expressions is a total mystery to me. I'm breaking down my honest answer, sharing why my mind doesn't jump to famous celebrities or landscapes, but instead to the core people in my life—starting with my mom—and the curious reality of wanting to see my own reflection in a mirror. I also dive into the fascinating science of how overwhelming gaining sight would actually be for my brain and why I truly appreciate the unique way I get to experience people at their core right now.

The World As I See It Episode 45: What is SOAR and Why I'm Going

In this episode, I’m opening up about a major milestone coming up in my life: heading off to a 20-day independence program on a college campus called SOAR. I’m breaking down what this training actually is and exactly why I decided to take this step toward my own personal growth. I'm also getting honest about the mix of emotions I'm feeling a week before leaving—from the excitement of learning advanced travel and life skills to the natural nerves of being away from home.

The World As I See It Episode 44: My Second Set of Eyes

In this episode, I’m talking about a tool that has completely changed the way I live my life: Artificial Intelligence. I call AI my "second set of eyes" because it has given me a level of independence I never thought possible. From describing photos in detail to helping me manage my daily routine hands-free, AI is how I perceive the digital world. But it’s not all perfect. I’m also getting honest about the "sketchy" side of technology—the hallucinations, the lack of human warmth, and the constant mental game of fact-checking a robot. I’m diving into the pros and cons of this new era and why, despite the risks, I would never go back to the way things were before. If you have questions, ideas, or feedback, please reach out!

The World As I See It Episode 43: Seeing What Others Miss: The Best Things About Being Blind

In this episode, I’m flipping the script from last week. While there are challenges to being blind, there are also some incredible advantages. I'm diving into what I consider one of the best things about my blind perspective: the ability to see the "real" you. I talk about why I’m never distracted by your appearance or what you're wearing, and how I use tone of voice and energy to connect with a person's heart and character instead.
