Emily Olson, whose powerful story was featured in a past episode, joins us again, this time stepping into a new role. She reflects on her journey, what has changed, and how living in the “not yet redeemed” can actually draw us closer to others.

You’ll hear candid conversation, awkward moments (because that’s what we do!), and a fresh perspective on navigating transformation with honesty. We also offer a glimpse of what’s to come as we continue exploring change and calling with Elizabeth in a future episode!
