I met Melanie five years ago at the first You Matter Festival. She was there representing her son’s organization as part of the resource fair. There is always an immediate bond when two moms who have fought similar battles meet. And that was Melanie and me.
Melanie was one of the first people I reached out to interview when I started the Just A Mom podcast. And she was more than willing to share their ongoing parenting journey. I know you will find this episode poignant, raw, real and helpful as you listen to Melanie’s story.
