Hope Without Sight: Learning to Feel Deeply Without Losing Yourself with Saylor Cooper

What happens when empathy feels less like a gift and more like carrying everyone else’s emotions inside your own body? In this episode of *Notes From the Edge*, Lisa Lacy sits down with former client, author, entrepreneur, and radio host Saylor Cooper for an honest conversation about blindness, disability, emotional intelligence, nervous-system awareness, boundaries, and learning how to become the container instead of the sponge. Saylor shares how understanding his emotional depth helped him become calmer, more grounded, and more connected to who he has always been at his core. We also explore how he moved beyond other people’s expectations to create Real Variety Radio and *Hope Without Sight*, platforms built around resilience, storytelling, music, and meaningful human connection. This conversation is about feeling deeply without disappearing inside what you feel, transforming adversity without allowing it to become your entire identity, and recognizing that emotional sensitivity can become a powerful form of leadership when it is supported by self-awareness and boundaries. **Hosted by Lisa Lacy** **Featuring Saylor Cooper:** Saylor Cooper | LinkedIn https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blissful-connections/id1789566162 What did you perform in order to survive? **Welcome to the Edge.**
