What happens when an accounting job turns into leading a statewide nonprofit? In this episode, Hannah is joined by Lauren Branch, the CEO of NewView Oklahoma, for a relaxed and engaging conversation about her journey to leadership, the growth of NewView and her passion for advocacy. They share stories, laugh a little and reflect on what makes this work so meaningful.

With the holiday season in full swing, the kitchen becomes the heart of the home–but for people who are blind or visually impaired, cooking and baking can feel intimidating. In this episode, we're joined by two guests who are blind and two Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants as we talk about building confidence in the kitchen. From practical tips and adaptive tools to holiday traditions and a few laughs along the way, this conversation is all about showing that cooking is possible, empowering, and even fun–no vision required.

In this episode, we sit down with the Oklahoma Dance Foundation to explore how their partnership with NewView Oklahoma began and how they adapted their teaching to include students who are blind or have low vision. We talk about the learning curve, the unexpected joys of inclusive dance, and the importance of representation in the arts. They also share details about the upcoming Fall Dance Bash happening at NewView, an event you don’t want to miss!
