#54 Opening Minds: Laine and Madi's Journey

About this episode

Laine shares her journey as Madi's communication partner, discussing their initial meeting and the challenges and rewards of their relationship.

In part one of this episode, I interview Laine about her journey as Madi’s communication partner. She shares how they first met at church when Madi was a child. Then later reconnected when Madi’s mom reached out, and the divine timing of that. I loved hearing about her rewarding moments and challenging moments as they work together and how they help each other. Come back next week to hear from Madi!
