In this episode, Rita chats with Laurie Stein Marsh, champion of Columbus & servant leader. Laurie candidly describes her a battle with alcoholism, “hitting bottom” and finding the path to sobriety. Laurie sought out support from resources like fellow-AA members and compassionate employers, who taught her about the power of self-acceptance and vulnerability. Those attributes, along with her strong sense of empathy and even humor, have helped her help others across central Ohio. In her current role as Executive Director of Leadership Columbus, Laurie has mentored hundreds of participants to become greater trustees of Columbus.
