How do you navigate life when it feels like every challenge is stacked against you? Join us on this eye-opening episode of "Glass Half Full" as we sit down with Win Kelly-Charles, a podcast host living with Cerebral Palsy. Win opens up about her journey from her idyllic upbringing in Aspen, Colorado, to facing significant hurdles, including the heart-wrenching experience of emotional and physical abuse by her aunt in 2019. As a mandatory reporter, Win passionately discusses the urgency of recognizing and reporting abuse, especially for individuals with disabilities.
Win's story takes us through the physically and emotionally grueling aftermath of a five-hour spinal surgery. Imagine the disorientation of waking up with a full oxygen mask on your face when you already have a condition like Cerebral Palsy, which is caused by lack of oxygen at birth. From this initial distress to battling pneumonia and a twisted bowel, Win's resilience is nothing short of extraordinary. Listen as she recounts the emotional toll of these experiences, compounded by the absence of her usual pastoral care, and how a brief visit from a determined clergy member provided a glimmer of hope.
Finally, we delve into Win's advocacy journey, from discovering her condition at a young age to fighting for necessary medical interventions like spinal fusion revisions. Her story underscores the critical importance of self-advocacy and community engagement for people with disabilities. Whether it's demanding respect in social settings or ensuring fair treatment in medical care, Win's experiences serve as a powerful call to action. This episode is an inspiring reminder of the need to challenge institutions to accommodate and recognize individuals with disabilities, fostering a more inclusive and respectful society.

Send us a text How do you navigate life when the world around you literally begins to disappear? Laura Bratton takes us on a remarkable journey through her experience of losing her sight as a child and discovering a deeper kind of vision along the way. Diagnosed at age nine with a rare retinal condition, Laura gradually lost her sight throughout middle and high school—a particularly painful time as her peers were gaining independence through driver's licenses while she was losing hers. Yet through this profound challenge, Laura discovered a powerful framework for resilience that she now shares with others: the balance of grit and gratitude. The most touching moments in our conversation reveal how Laura's family refused to let blindness become her identity or excuse. When teenage Laura tried using her condition to get out of chores, her mother simply said, "Laura, unload the dishwasher" and walked away—a moment of "tough love" that Laura initially resented but now recognizes as one of her greatest gifts. These experiences taught her that limitations don't diminish worth, and that acknowledging difficulties while choosing to move forward anyway is the essence of true courage. Laura's definition of gratitude might surprise you. It's not about constant positivity or denying difficult emotions. Rather, it means being thankful for what helps us move through challenges—sometimes as simple as appreciating that a particularly tough day is finally over. This refreshing perspective liberates us from the pressure to "stay positive" and instead encourages authentic engagement with our full human experience. As founder of Ubi Global and author of "Harnessing Courage," Laura now guides individuals and organizations through significant life changes and what she calls "non-death losses"—the grieving process that accompanies major life transitions beyond literal death. Her story reminds us that healing integrates mind, body, and spirit, and that our greatest challenges often become the foundation for our most meaningful contributions to others. What change are you facing that could benefit from both grit and gratitude? Join us for this transformative conversation about seeing beyond sight and finding strength in vulnerability. //www.laurabratton.com/ Support the show…
Send us a text What if the answers you seek have been with you all along, waiting for you to simply open the right channel of communication? Ros Place, a Guardian Angel communicator with over 20 years of experience, reveals the extraordinary reality that each of us has a personal guide assigned at the moment of conception—our very own guardian angel. From her earliest memories of angelic presences surrounding her bed as a toddler to reluctantly shutting down her connection as a pre-teen facing social pressure, Ros's journey with her guardian angel Trissan is both deeply personal and universally relevant. The dramatic reconnection came during the vulnerable, transformative experience of childbirth, creating a crack in her defenses that allowed this ancient bond to flourish once again. The most fascinating aspect of Ros's work is her Channel of Clarity Method—a structured 12-step process that enables anyone to establish direct verbal communication with their guardian angel within just 12 weeks. Unlike vague spiritual practices, this method consistently delivers results by teaching people to channel through their heart center rather than their mind. As Ros explains, "Channeling is an experience of being in a space of spa-like peace" where profound guidance flows through you without mental interference. Now traveling the world with her husband and teenage sons under Trissan's guidance, Ros demonstrates how angelic communication transforms everyday life into an adventure of purpose and alignment. Her guardian angel doesn't map out grand life plans but instead provides just the next step—creating a beautiful metaphor for spiritual growth itself. As she puts it, "All you need is the next step, because when you apply that, you're able to see the next thing." Ready to discover what your guardian angel has been trying to tell you? Start by noticing recurring numbers in your environment—a simple way these celestial guides attempt to catch our attention. Then consider taking that courageous step toward establishing your own direct line of communication with the highest personal guide who has been with you all along. hello@rosplace.com https://courses.rosplace.com/products/digital_downloads/angel-number-guide Support the show…

Send us a text What happens when a football tackle changes everything? Ken Kunken's life pivoted dramatically in 1970 when he broke his neck during a Cornell University football game, leaving him almost completely paralyzed from the shoulders down. Doctors delivered a devastating prognosis—they didn't expect him to survive the week. If he did, they predicted a shortened life in a nursing home. Ken refused to accept these limitations. Just eleven days after hospital discharge, he returned to Cornell—navigating a campus with no wheelchair accessibility—and became the first quadriplegic to graduate from the university. This was merely the beginning of his boundary-breaking journey. Through raw, honest conversation, Ken shares how he earned two master's degrees and faced crushing employment discrimination despite his impressive credentials. When over 200 job applications went unanswered, he finally found opportunity at Abilities Inc., counseling others with disabilities. But Ken wasn't finished redefining possibility—he graduated from law school and spent over 40 years as an Assistant District Attorney, even though he couldn't initially fit through the courtroom doors in his wheelchair. Perhaps most powerfully, Ken opens up about finding love later in life and becoming a father to triplet sons through in vitro fertilization. Now in their twenties and attending prestigious universities, his sons represent the life Ken was told would be impossible. Throughout our conversation, Ken's philosophy shines through: "Just because something has not been done before doesn't mean you cannot do it now." His memoir, "I Dream of Things That Never Were," captures this spirit of relentless possibility. Whether you're facing challenges or simply need inspiration, Ken's story proves that with determination and support, extraordinary achievements are possible regardless of physical limitations.

Send us a text Ever felt stuck in your own head, trying to think your way out of difficult emotions? Susan Hensley discovered a powerful alternative when she picked up some crayons during the pandemic and let her "inner five-year-old get loose." This simple act of creative play opened a doorway to profound healing and self-discovery that changed the trajectory of her life. Susan joins us to share how art journaling became her pathway from corporate executive to transformational coach and author. With warmth and wisdom, she explains why this practice works especially well for people who don't consider themselves creative or artistic. "I have yet to meet an adult who takes themselves seriously while holding a crayon," she laughs, revealing how this simple tool helps silence our inner critic and access deeper wisdom. What makes Susan's approach so refreshing is its accessibility. Her three-minute scribbling exercise requires nothing more than two colors and a small piece of paper. Yet this brief creative play can provide what she calls a "turbo boost" for emotional processing—helping us move through rage, fear, and uncertainty with greater ease. She shares fascinating examples of how the images and symbols that emerged in her journals revealed truths her conscious mind hadn't yet recognized, from winding paths that predicted her career transition to an open door with a yellow lab that appeared just as she was publishing her book. For anyone navigating life's "messy middle" between endings and new beginnings, Susan offers both practical tools and compassionate perspective. Whether you're facing career changes, relationship shifts, or simply seeking more joy in your daily life, her insights on creative resilience provide a refreshing alternative to traditional self-help approaches. Try her simple exercises, explore the patterns that emerge, and discover what your soul might be trying to tell you through color, shape, and symbol.

Send us a text What happens when someone survives unthinkable childhood trauma and transforms that pain into purpose? In this powerful conversation, Denise G. Lee takes us through her extraordinary journey from severe childhood abuse to recovery from sex addiction and alcoholism to becoming a trauma-informed entrepreneur coach. With remarkable vulnerability, Denise shares how her life's theme evolved from feeling betrayed by others to recognizing how she betrayed herself, and finally to embracing complete responsibility for her healing. She recounts surviving her mother's physical, emotional, and sexual abuse until age 11, attempting suicide at just seven years old, and later developing addictions as coping mechanisms while trying to find connection and meaning. The turning point came when a therapist confronted Denise with the reality of her sex addiction, leading her to 12-step programs where she finally found people who could see her fully—broken parts and all—while offering practical tools for healing. This experience fundamentally transformed how she understands leadership, personal growth, and coaching. Today, Denise works with high-achieving entrepreneurs who appear successful on the outside but struggle internally. She helps them recognize how unhealed trauma manifests in their business practices and relationships, guiding them toward authentic leadership through vulnerability. "You can only lead people to the point of your own level of vulnerability," she explains, highlighting how our willingness to acknowledge our imperfections creates psychological safety for those around us. Whether you're facing your own healing journey or leading others through change, Denise's perspective offers profound wisdom: our failures and struggles aren't a summary of who we are—they're just data points that can refine rather than define us.

Corey Rosenke is that person, with a life tale that commands attention—a journey from poverty to spiritual mentorship that exemplifies the resilience of the human spirit. As a pastor and an author, Corey joins us to offer a fresh interpretation of what fuels our souls and how we navigate the complexities of our existence. His book and teachings delve not only into the philosophical but also the psychological, intertwining with neuroscience and faith to provide a holistic understanding of our innermost desires. This conversation with Corey transcends beyond the mere act of living; it's an expedition into the core of what it means to be human and how we connect with the divine. We cover the soul's five fundamental cravings—security, identity, independence, significance, and innocence—and how these shape our actions and historical events. Listen as we dissect the paradox of sin and forgiveness, and how our longing for purity can both hinder and facilitate our journey towards spiritual fulfillment. It's a dialogue that challenges us to look deep within and explore our relationship with our Creator, offering profound insights into our innate cravings for a higher purpose. As we near the end of our time with Corey, the topic inevitably turns toward the enigmatic concepts of death and what possibly lies beyond. In a discussion that melds scripture with the humility of not-knowing, we seek to offer a form of solace in the face of the great unknown. Wrapping up, we express our profound thanks to the community around "Glass Half Full", a gathering place for wisdom and encouragement.
