    From the get-go, Andi and I hit the ground running, discussing her incredible journey from the bright lights of theater stages to the demanding world of traveling with a TV production. Andi opened up about her transition, not just in her career but in life, showing us how she's constantly on the go, doing beautiful, mission-driven work across the globe.


    We delved into the deep waters of storytelling and its divine connection with the human experience.

This conversation was a beautiful reminder that we’re all storytellers, crafting narratives not just on screen but in real life, with every decision and every step guided by God.

Andi's stories of synchronicities and divine timings were both goosebump-inducing and deeply encouraging. It was a reminder of the power of faith to guide us through anything, no matter how daunting.
