I wanted to take a quick moment to properly introduce myself.
I’m Melissa — a single mom navigating kids, life, work, and everything in between (sometimes gracefully, sometimes with coffee and pure determination 😅).
Here’s a little about what I share outside of this group, in case it resonates with you:
🐾 **Animal welfare & advocacy**
Rescue stories, real talk about animal welfare, my own animals, and the books I write inspired by my pets.
👩👧👦 **Real life as a mom**
The behind-the-scenes of single motherhood — the wins, the hard days, the growth, and the lessons I’m learning along the way.
💼 **Business & mentorship**
I’m a mentor and run a community for small business owners who are trying to build something meaningful while juggling family life.
💭 **Melissa’s Idol Thoughts**
A Facebook subscription where I share monthly themes, opinions, and honest conversations about motherhood, relationships, burnout, healing, and finding yourself again.
If any of that sounds like something you’d enjoy or relate to, I’d love for you to follow along and connect. No pressure — just real life, real conversations.
Thank you for the space and for welcoming me here. 💛
