Welcome to episode 02 of dear somebody, a podcast rooted in the belief that every story matters. In this episode, Kadi and Laura Vail share their story. Despite unexpected turns and unimaginable loss they keep making the brave choice to show up, to love anyways. I am so grateful their light and resilience and to share this planet with them.
