Still Showing Up: One Paralegal's Story of Purpose, Passion, and ALS

In this deeply moving and unique conversation, Ann shares the story of Tina Johnson—a career paralegal, mentor, leader, and advocate who was diagnosed with ALS in 2024. Because Tina has lost her ability to speak, every answer in this episode was written by her, by hand, and is read aloud so her voice can still be heard. Inside this episode, you'll hear: ✔️ How Tina found her calling in the paralegal profession ✔️ The emotional and professional impact of losing the ability to communicate ✔️ The strength it takes to keep showing up in the face of uncertainty ✔️ How the paralegal community has rallied around her ✔️ What Tina wants her legacy and her message to be. This episode is a reminder of why this profession matters and how powerful one voice can be—even when it can no longer be spoken.
