Today's guest is bringing some hard-won, much needed wisdom for all the parents out there -- especially moms of girls -- but also for the kid in all of us still carrying wounds left open.

Melanie Shankle is a three-time New York Times Best-Selling author, and for the first time, she's opening up not just about parenting her daughter, but about how becoming a parent was an unforeseen catalyst to facing a lifetime of trauma with her own mother.

With her trademark humor, candor and vulnerability, Shankle encourages readers to explore their own existing wounds and trust God to not only heal, but break generational cycles of trauma with the goal of handing a legacy of triumph over to our children.

To every mom who's ever felt overwhelmed, ill-equipped and fearful she's not "enough" for her daughter, Shankle's Here Be Dragons offers hope, encouragement, and empowerment. When we achieve healing and wholeness in Him, there's no dragon we can't slay, and no parenting battle we won't call victory."
