Summary

Today, we sit down with Chelsey Painter Davis, host of "The Blind Mom Life Podcast," to discuss what parenting as a blind mother is like and how she uses humor as a coping mechanism and a tool to share her story. She tells us about how her blindness was caused by complications from hormonal birth control and how she struggled with her faith throughout that time in her life. Chelsey also shares how she had to fight for her son while she was pregnant with him when her doctor pressured her to abort him. Her son is now perfectly healthy and thriving. We also talk about how she, in her own words, is an "IVF survivor" and what that looked like for her growing up knowing about her "discarded" siblings. She also talks about what it's like living as a blind mom and how she uses her social media presence to raise awareness and be a light in the world.
