We all have different beliefs — but behind every belief is a story. This podcast is about listening first, understanding deeply, and seeing the humanity in people who may not think like we do.
In this episode, I sit down with Taylor to talk about her journey living with cystic fibrosis and the lessons she’s learned from navigating the healthcare system. Taylor shares how her experiences with illness, service, and community have shaped her into the compassionate person she is today. We discuss the importance of mental health resources for youth, the need for more opportunities for people with disabilities, and the power of simply showing up for others when they need it most.
Taylor also reflects on moments that changed her perspective — from serving those experiencing homelessness to watching her best friend lose her father at a young age. These experiences have strengthened her belief in kindness, connection, and making the most of every day. We close by talking about finding peace in nature, the grounding power of the outdoors, and what it truly means to live with purpose.
