Join melissa and friends as they explore what in the hell is going on? in all sorts of areas of life. Or, when you've come to the end of yourself and nothing makes sense. It's a podcast about questioning, grief, finding yourself face down in the arena... wondering if you'll ever get up or if you even want to. It's about loneliness, the messy middle, times when life hurt like hell. It's about coming through the other side, the wisdom in the journey, about surprising joy. Above all, it's about connecting - finding myself in your story, finding yours in mine.

If that is activating for you, you may want to have some strategies on hand to deal with the discomfort that arises: walk away if you need to, listen with a friend, take a few deep breaths, have some tea.

Mama Bird

On episode 2 of #withigoPodcast I sit down with my friend Nancy Bird for a conversation about life, the not-for-profit sector and what it’s like to find yourself lost between two cribs.
