Today is such a special episode! Brittany is sitting down with long time friend, Laura Hope Whitaker, CEO of the non profit organization, ESP: Extra Special People. ESP is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to serving as a beacon of support for disabled individuals and their families.

  • Not sidelining yourself out of an opportunity just because you feel like you're not ready
  • Finding the beauty in the fact that there is power in our weakness
  • The Tom Holland event in London raising awareness for ESP
  • What a Joy Exchange is and
  • How actions breeds clarity
