Picture growing up with night blindness, receiving a diagnosis for a degenerative eye condition in high school, and then facing the reality of complete vision loss as an adult. This is the story of our co-host, Kimberley Dobbs, a mental health therapist and mother who has taken this journey with Retinitis Pigmentosa. Kimberley opens up about her life, sharing her compelling journey and the impact of her mother's cancer diagnosis during her own period of self-discovery. Her story serves as a testament to resilience, compassion, and undying hope.
Kimberley's narrative is not just about the challenges of living with Retinitis Pigmentosa; it’s about the power of human spirit and the art of making informed choices. From selecting a career path to deciding to have children before losing her vision, she shares insights on how she navigated these life-altering decisions. With her, we explore her experience with human growth hormone treatments in childhood and how it instilled in her a spirit of perseverance. Her anecdotes are a rich tapestry of life’s highs and lows, courage and faith. Step into Kimberley's world to find inspiration, discover a fresh perspective on joy, and learn to appreciate the beauty of human diversity.
