Losing Sight, Finding Light: Amy Bright's Journey Through Sight Loss and Resilience

Losing Sight, Finding Light: Amy Bright's Journey Through Sight Loss and Resilience

July 15, 20261 min read

In this episode of Every Mind Matters, Mark talks with Amy Bright, who began losing her sight at just 13 years old due to optic nerve deterioration, losing her vision within three months.

Amy opens up about navigating the stages of grief that come with sight loss, the friendships that fell away and the ones that held firm, and the toll it took on her confidence and identity as a teenager.

Now a psychology student and student inclusion consultant, Amy shares how she turned her experience into purpose, running a 5K with a guide runner, launching her own podcast Help.vision, and working to reduce stigma around disability and mental health. She also discusses the role social media played in helping her feel less alone, and why representation from creators like Molly Burke and Lucy Edwards mattered so much.

A hopeful, honest conversation about grief, identity, and finding strength after loss.
