In this pilot episode host Leslie introduces The Dash In Between—a podcast dedicated to recording and sharing personal stories to heal, connect, and preserve family history. She explains the show’s mission, her faith-informed approach, and why telling stories matters.

Leslie also shares her own life: family background, education, struggles with anxiety and faith, marriage and divorce, travels, and plans for a Kids Corner. She invites listeners to submit their stories and follow along for weekly writing prompts.
