Alison van Schie

Today's guest, Victoria Essner, is all about breaking down barriers and turning challenges into opportunities.  When a childhood accident left her legally blind, she didn’t stop forging ahead and embracing what life had in store, including caregiving for her husband. 

She shares her caregiving story with such gratitude and grace, having adopted the "can do" philosophy; and self-described as a pampered princess.

Vickie sees her blindness as a blessing, and despite her vision impairment she remains driven and adventurous, finding joy in her journey, sharing the message that life is precious.

In order to provide around-the-clock care for her husband, she received national certification through the Veteran’s Association.  While she does all this she finds time to learn, mentor, support and empower others.  Vickie is a true inspiration and a great resource for both caregivers and those with vision impairments, as she overcomes challenges by example and is an assistive technologist.  Reach out to her today through the links provided below:
