In this episode of the Her Xpansion Podcast, host Dee Taggart sits down with Melissa Smith—entrepreneur, mother of five, and co-founder of The Family Brand. Melissa takes us on a vulnerable journey of how she turned near-divorce into a mission, stepping fully into her calling as a leader, healer, and guide for families everywhere.

We dive deep into how intentional living can reshape not only your family but your confidence, purpose, and spiritual path. 

Melissa doesn’t hold back—she shares how she walked away from her nursing career, discovered her voice, and embraced leadership through service, love, and authenticity. 

If you’ve ever felt the tug to live more on purpose or lead from the heart, this conversation is for you.

In this conversation, we discuss:

  • How Melissa and her husband turned their near-divorce into the foundation for The Family Brand.

  • Why intentionally crafting your family’s core values and culture creates lasting impact.

  • Melissa’s journey from stay-at-home mom to leading a mission-driven brand with confidence and authenticity.

  • The importance of creating sacred spaces for mindfulness, silence, and spiritual connection.

  • Practical ways to expand your community by leading with service, love, and inclusion.

  • Why believing you can be who you want to be is the first step to stepping into your full potential.
