Jodi Ellingson is an amazing midlife woman with a story of serving, challenges, and hope. As a young girl, she wanted to help others and this trait continued even when she found herself taking a path she hadn't envisioned for herself. Along the way she learned one of life's greatest lessons about treasuring those moments (sometimes lots of moments) that challenge us in the worst ways. She and Kim discuss how and when she learned to treasure and seek the good out of these situations and she even helped Kim see things in a different way.
Jodi's service to others continues with her mission work with MissionE4 and she talks about this during this interview as well. If you would like to learn more or even sponsor a child, go to this website: https://missione4.org/
