I wanted to contribute in a way that says: hey, you know what, I’ve been there.
Imagine turning personal pain into a mission to help others. That's exactly what Melissa Sue Tucker has done.

She gives listeners a sneak peek into her first public speaking talk, a milestone she's both nervous and excited about. But this episode isn't just about her speaking ambitions.
Melissa also introduces her new podcast, Seconds of Solitude, where she explores the benefits of mindfulness, even if it's just for a few moments each day. She believes these small practices can make a big difference in our hectic lives. The heart of this episode, however, lies in Melissa's deeply personal story.

This initiative is her way of giving back to society, turning her family's struggles into a source of hope and support for others. Throughout the episode, Melissa and her guests share touching stories of how contributing to others has given their lives new meaning. They invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences and consider how they can make a positive impact in their communities.
