Melissa Kircher proves that "the only normal people you know are the ones you don't know very well".
Growing up in small town Maryland, close enough to the big cities to have fun but close enough to the country to have space, Melissa has always had a love for good stories and people. Self-describing as the least cool of the cool kids in high school, she finds ways of breaking out of groups and clicks to include who she can. Today, we get to talk about how she did this through the Connecticut fostercare system to adopt her son and how she does it now through her enneagram and life coaching work. (Enneagram nerds get ready to hear Melissa in action as Dixie and Stephen ask questions!) We also talk about how writing and creation became part of Melissa's work through writing The Endless Story: Explaining Life and Death to Children and novels of her own! We hope you enjoy getting to know Melissa as much as we did!
