56 - Ashley Eisenmenger Blind Triathlete Pushes the Power of Perspective

Meet Ashley Eisenmenger the youngest guest I've ever had on the show. At just 20 years old, Ashley is taking the world by storm as an elite triathlete gunning for her first World Paratriathlon Championships. Ashley has been legally blind since birth. Her only vision is the ability to see some light with her left eye. She was born a triplet with a condition called retinopathy of prematurity. Her sisters also have vision impairment, but she has the most extreme case. Ashley says that if asked if she could have her eyesight back for a do-over in life, she says no way. Part of why she has developed such a positive outlook on life is that her parents didn't know what they didn't know and just raised her like every other kid. I know you'll enjoy today's episode. Ashley is definitely making a mark on this world!
