Welcome back, friends! If you caught Tammy Hannah on this month’s episode of Hope in Action, host Sheri Jones couldn’t let her go after just one segment. So grab your headphones, because this episode settles in for the deeper conversation.

Tammy is the founder and executive director of Origami Rehabilitation, and in this episode, she opens up about the personal story behind it all: growing up as the little sister of her brother Jeff, who was born with cerebral palsy, and watching firsthand how family, perseverance, and the right support can help someone exceed every expectation. That’s the story that planted the seed for what would become nearly 30 years of transforming lives.

Sheri and Tammy talk about the marathon, not the sprint, of recovery from a young mother who defied the odds after a catastrophic car accident, to a veterinarian who returned to the operating room after a stroke, to the nearly 200 children now served at Origami’s Greenlawn location, learning to speak, to move, to believe in themselves for the very first time. Tammy also shares beautiful, practical wisdom on etiquette and kindness how we can all show up better for the people in our lives who are navigating a disability, seen or unseen.

This one is full of heart, hope, and just genuinely good humans doing good work. Listeners will leave this conversation with a little more grace for the people around them.
