What I Learned When I Had a Life Changing Diagnosis
The After Dinner Mint is a podcast of Stories I'd Tell You at Dinner. We bring Christian women in Western Australia together through honest stories. Maddie Richards is a singer-songwriter and a regular contributor to Stories I'd Tell You at Dinner. We are interviewing all our contributors in Season 1 for you to get to know them better.
In today's episode, we explore:
* The slowness of the creative process and how Maddie started writing and producing music
* Growing up in a Christian family but coming to faith in her twenties
* A life changing diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in her twenties, which deepened her trust in the Lord and relationship with church community.
* Her shift from wanting to do life on her own and feeling like she had to bring perfection to the Lord and her growing conviction that she can bring her mess to the Lord because he loves her.

About Maddie
Madeleine resides in the sleepy town of Perth Western Australia where she mostly spends her days writing, singing and dancing. With a tone made to mesmerise and lyricism that is tender and true, Madeleine takes the listener to a Heavenlike sort of realm. When not creating songs, she is found down by the seaside or at her favourite local coffee shop. You can find more on Instagram @toastoastbaby
