In this episode, Denise is joined once again by Melissa Daniels for an honest and timely conversation about the emotional side of living with strabismus.
Melissa shares what led her to create her new course, Confidence with Strabismus, after years of working closely with adults navigating vision therapy, surgery decisions, and long-standing self-doubt. Together, Denise and Melissa explore how confidence, mindset, and self-trust often play a bigger role in progress than eye exercises alone.
They discuss the common spiral of self-judgment that can arise on camera, in conversations, or during setbacks in vision therapy—and practical tools Melissa teaches to move through those moments with clarity, compassion, and curiosity.
This episode is especially meaningful for adults with strabismus who are “functioning,” yet still feel emotionally impacted by their vision history—and for anyone questioning why progress can feel so hard even when they’re doing all the right things.
Melissa also explains how her course is structured, who it’s for, and why addressing confidence first can fundamentally change a person’s vision journey.
