Faith, Family, and Pickleball

Lessons from Evonne Vanessa Todd: Episode 26 (2023)

“Each of us hails from diverse backgrounds, nurtures distinct belief systems, and views life through our unique perspectives. When someone’s viewpoint differs from ours, our natural inclination is to become defensive, asserting ‘You’re wrong, I’m right.’ However, it’s essential not to react impulsively to others’ feelings and opinions, but rather to embrace the richness of diverse perspectives.” — Ms. Todd (2023)

Joining us on the show this week is the excellent Mrs. Evonne Vanessa Todd. I had the pleasure of meeting her two years ago while playing pickleball, which marked the beginning of our friendship. With 32 years of marriage, two sons, a wonderful daughter-in-law, and three adorable grandchildren, she’s an actual “glamMa.” Mrs. Todd is not only a co-owner of a successful marriage ministry but also a certified life coach and a business owner and has dedicated 15 years to public service at the local and state levels.
