In this Reflections with Jess episode, I share a moment from a small-town coffee shop where the simple act of someone typing nearby sent my nervous system into high alert. What unfolded was a reminder that healing is not about proving your strength—it’s about listening to your body, honouring your capacity, and choosing yourself.
✨ I’ve started a Fall Solo Date Reels series on Instagram, where each week I travel to a new small town, explore cozy cafés, and share the magic of solo adventures. The first one is live now—and yes, it features the café where this reflection was born. You can watch on @lifeaftertraumapodcast or on my personal account @jessvanrose.

In this deeply grounding episode, Jess is joined by international speaker, resilience coach, and author Laura Bratton. Laura began losing her vision as a teenager—and in the years since, she has cultivated a life rooted in courage, self-trust, and a deep commitment to living fully, even through change. Together, Jess and Laura explore how true resilience isn’t about pushing through or staying positive—it’s about being honest with our emotions, validating our grief, and choosing to move forward in small, brave steps. Whether you're navigating a season of uncertainty, rebuilding your sense of self, or learning to trust your inner voice again, this conversation will meet you with compassion, clarity, and strength.
In this episode, we talk about:
- What real resilience looks like (and what it’s not)
- How Laura navigated losing her vision in high school
- The power of daily support, community, and staying present
- Learning to trust yourself again, one moment at a time
- Gratitude as a healing practice (even on the hardest days)
- Why it's okay to hold grief and hope at the same time
- Advocating for your needs—without apology
