21 Questions: Behind the Podcast - Madison Talks Growing Up

We’re back with a special bonus episode of 21 Questions, featuring Madison Tevlin and Producer and Director, Sylvia.In this conversation, Madison reflects on what it was like growing up with a disability. As a child, she didn’t see herself as different, but the world around her didn’t always reflect that same kindness. There were moments when people looked at her differently, or when the energy from others felt off. As she got older and began to understand Down syndrome, Madison navigated it all with the unwavering support of her parents. What could have felt like a limitation, she embraced as her superpower. This is a perspective she’s shared before, like in her conversation with Nicole in an earlier episode of 21 Questions, about the importance of choosing to live authentically.By showing up fully as herself, Madison inspires those around her. She reminds people to have more fun and be present. And Sylvia shares that working alongside Madison has been a lesson in exactly that. Because at the end of the day, what people truly see in you is how you show up: with kindness, hard work, and authenticity.So show up. Have fun. Be present. And if the moment calls for it, don’t be afraid to get up and dance.21 Questions is proudly produced by by coastal and Project 10, in partnership with @fairmonthotels.
