## Resource

Get Flip Coffee and Help Dogs Here: https://www.flipcoffee.com Molly Burke joins Rocky and Kelly for a raw, wise, and surprisingly funny conversation about blindness, identity, and the guide dogs who've shaped every chapter of her life. From the moment doctors told her parents "she's going to go blind… there's nothing we can do" to a childhood spent losing vision in waves, Molly walks us through her story with honesty and clarity. She shares what it was like preparing for blindness while she could still see, learning Braille early, practicing cane skills long before she relied on them, and the accident that forced her into using a cane full-time at eight. Molly also opens up about the part no one sees: the neurological panic of rapid vision loss. And through it all: dogs. For 18 and a half years, she's rarely been without a guide dog by her side.
