COACHING
Live coaching programs with TBA Mentors give you opportunities to deep dive into parenting blind children, getting a job, transitioning out of high school to college or the workforce, exploring entrepreneurship and more.

Take a sneak peak into our private Facebook Community:
"Thank you for hosting this awesome summit. It was my first time attending something like this where I can relate to so many of the speakers. I am not a parent of a blind or visually impaired kid but I personally have usher syndrome 2a and am a wife and mom. I am grateful for how far I have come and so happy to be able to experience things like this and be a part of a community of others like me."

We know. You had big dreams for your life or your child's life. Success and smiles abound in the mental picture of the future. And then you heard a doctor say "blind" or "progressive vision loss." It was a punch to your heart.
Dreams shattered. Why Me's began. The future was instantaneously hopeless.
We get it. We were hopeless too.
But now, we are thriving. We are Kristin Smedley and Charlie Collins and we know exactly how to guide you to live the thriving life of your dreams too.
Kristin's two sons were born blind (LCA-CRB1)and are now thriving - one as a college student/radio show host, and the other working his dream job for a major corporation.
Charlie has low vision (Macular Degeneration) and has created and sold a multi- million dollar business, speaks internationally, plays guitar, and has raised two successful sighted daughters.
Join us and be a thriver too.
Your diagnosis doesn't have to be a death sentence.
It will be if you continue to stay stuck in anger and fear.
It may seem easier to stay there than to take a step toward thriving.
However, staying in that mindset will cause you to do unnecessary things like uprooting your family and moving across the country to a school for the blind, wasting money of technology that won't help you, or sitting alone at home, day after day, in regret of the life you were supposed to have.
At Thriving Blind Academy, we bring you all the resources you need to thrive
for just $97.
Don't do this journey alone. Join our community.
Living with a thriving, success mindset is a process. We send a weekly, success tip & video to your inbox to assist that process. Fill in the info below to get that info delivered to you each week!
