Today's podcast is incredibly special to me, bc it's so real and raw and powerful. Oh my goodness. Melissa shares her story with us and wow. She talks about her life in addiction, and how the Lord brought her out of it, and it's so full of hope and redemption. I have so much to say, and am also speechless, but I know you will be blessed by it.

Logistically, I want to let you know that this one was recorded at her home with her two precious little girls. It's a little loud and there's a lot of sweet little voices and lots of things happening in the background, but it does not take away from the story she shares. One of the thing I pray for my podcast is that it is authentic, and this is real life at it's best! I'm so thankful for the way she powers through and tells her story while wrangling them!

Also, Melissa shares a lot of detail about her life before she knew Jesus, and so I just want to give a heads up that if you typically listen with your kiddos around, you may want to wait until they're in bed or you are able to listen alone.

This will go down as one of my all time favorites and I know you'll be encouraged by it. Grab a drink and join us as we pour it out!
