Join me on this episode of Spokast! as I sit down with Melissa Pemberton, the owner of Mending Families—a venture born out of her deep passion for helping families heal and grow. Melissa's journey is a testament to her commitment to making a difference in the lives of families in need.

During our conversation, Melissa shares her realization of the need to prioritize her dreams of facilitating healing and growth within families. While running a foster care non-profit was fulfilling, she found herself stretched too thin as she tried to merge her calling with the organization's demands. In June 2022, Melissa made the courageous decision to take the leap and dedicate herself full-time to Mending Families.

Mending Families is where Melissa brings her personal experiences and knowledge to create a space for families to find healing and growth. Through her expertise and compassionate approach, she strives to positively impact families who need support.

Join us as we delve into Melissa's journey, her challenges, and the fulfillment she finds in helping families discover their path towards healing.
