How Do You Overcome Fear of the Unknown? with Nancy Solari

What does it mean to live full out when life hands you a devastating diagnosis? In this episode of Point of Impact, host Aaron Hale sits down with Nancy Solari—CEO, broadcaster, author, and host of the syndicated TV and radio show Living Full Out.

At just 16 years old, Nancy and her two sisters were diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa and told they would go blind by age 40. Rather than letting fear dictate her future, Nancy chose to "double down" on life. From navigating the streets of Huntington Beach after being hit by a car, to building a successful career in real estate and media without needing her sight, Nancy shares how losing her vision unlocked a richer, more intentional way of living.

Tune in for a powerful conversation on overcoming victim mentality, finding independence, working through fear, and building a lasting legacy.
