Interview was done August 5, 2022!

I love meeting new people willing to let me in and share their “lemon to lemonade” experience!

This story is about Melissa who gave birth and experienced significant grief because she didn't have a mom to talk to, her mom died before she had children. She didn't have advice, support, or help from her mom. She went on to build a 'Mom Community' to help others who might be without a mom due to death, estrangement, or distance. She finds common threads with other moms who don't have support because it has an impact to not have a mom. Melissa teaches that nothing is wrong with you, you are doing an amazing job, just reach out and connect with others. What message do you get from this interview?

ABOUT the LemonAid Stand: Heidi started hosting the LemonAid Stand live radio talk show, over 20 years ago, in 1999! It all came about when Heidi was dealing with thoughts of suicide, inadequacy, and dealing with infertility. She realized as she reached out to others and heard their stories, she would be uplifted and inspired no matter what she was going through. So this podcast has old "Original" shows from that time period. It also has "New" shows that are currently being recorded with new guests. And it has "Update" shows where Heidi reached out to original radio show guests to find out how the past 20 years have been!

Heidi is a motivational speaker and would love to speak at your event about how to elevate your happiness!

Theme song written and recorded by Heidi’s baby brother Shane!
