Hey there, ocean explorers! Welcome to another episode from the Tybee Island Marine Science Center podcast. Today, we have a super special guest—Jacilyn Ledford! She’s not just a tour guide, but also a yoga teacher, sound healer, and all-around Tybee Island expert.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this fun episode:

• Jacilyn tells us how she started Tybee Tours and why she loves sharing the island’s amazing stories.
• You’ll hear about the cool history of Tybee, from old windmills to secret forts and even a train line that turned into Windmill Lane!
• We learn about the people who lived on Tybee long ago, including Native Americans, African Americans, and families who made the island their home.
• Jacilyn shares how food and fashion from West Africa are still part of Tybee’s culture today.
• Ever heard of a sound bath? Jacilyn explains how relaxing sounds can help your brain feel calm and creative—sometimes people even see colors or have wild dreams!
• There’s even a story about a real-life ghost adventure and how Jacilyn helps people with her special energy skills.
• Find out how history and “woo woo” (that’s what Jacilyn calls her magical side) come together to make Tybee Island a place full of surprises.
