  • It‘s Go Time
    2021/09/30

    In this episode, I share another chapter from my book. I talk about pushing past my perceived limits. My pregnancy story took me through so many obstacles, and I did not think my breaking point would be on the delivery table. There I was—wanting to give up. I didn’t think I had the strength or mental power to deliver my son.

  • Inner Power
    2021/09/08

    Have you recently let self-doubt creep in? Has it prevented you from going after your dreams or goals? As women, we let exterior sources and our own internal voice create doubt in our capabilities. We forget how much we have accomplished in our lives and extinguish our own lights.

    In this episode, I discuss my own fears and how I overcame them with looking back in my past. Focusing on what I have accomplished. How the little and big steps led me to the Melissa of today. Was it easy? No, it was hard. Was it worth it? Yes.

    Just remember – There is a secret power within all women. You have it. So, in moments of doubt focus on what you have accomplished in the past. Remember the journey wasn’t smooth and the hard times made it more worthwhile.

    You did it.

    You can do it.

    You have it in you.

  • Covid-19- A Mom’s Perspective
    2020/03/26

    This virus continues to impact people around the world, I wanted to talk about how it changed my life. In between the mad runs to the stores to stockpile on items that you didn’t even know you needed. Now your glad you got the items but now you might lose your job. Then your kids are out of school and unsure if they will go back. It’s a scary new world we are living in and it wasn’t the one I was living in three weeks ago.

    Things are changing every day and at times it seems like they are getting better but then you hear the news and stories. You wonder who is running the show. Do they know what is going down here, where the normal people live? People are having difficulty finding food and worried if they will have money for food next week.

    There is hope, that is a FACT. We will survive. We need to realize that people need help now and don’t want to hear about the broken system. We want someone that is going to fix it and make it possible for our family to survive this. Let’s work together to make it better.

    To all the Mom’s out there. Surviving the homeschool life, I am with you. It is not easy to juggle the kids and life. I am holding on by a thread, but I know that we will make it. Our kids will be fine. Mom guilt doesn’t apply to the coronavirus of 2020.

    Do you find yourself trying to decide when is the right time to start having a family? My younger sister is planning to start a family soon. Our conversation was the inspiration for this episode.

So if you have baby fever, this episode will be an introductory course in potential baby cost. Don't let the cost scare you away. Once you hold your baby, it makes it all worthwhile.
