My guest today is Emily Kilbourn we met as camp counselors at Warren Willis United Methodist Camp in central Florida and that friendship has grown into one of my deepest and most meaningful in my life.  Emily has a Master's degree in Counseling and is currently working toward her license as a Professional Counselor. She worked on the road in the music industry for 4 years and still hops back on the road from time to time to work at events for Compassion International. She's a self-proclaimed tea aficionado (but for real – knows a lot about tea!).
